Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAC DCDCEEEC FCFG EEEC ACACAAAC| Shadows of the twilight falling | A |
| On the mountain's brow | B |
| To each other birds are calling | A |

| And the cattle bells are ringing | A |
| Comes my Mary gaily singing | A |
| Bringing home the cows | C |

| By a bush the pathway skirted | D |
| Room for two allows | C |
| All the cornfields are deserted | D |
| Idle are the ploughs | C |
| Striving for wealth's spoil and booty | E |
| Farmer boys have finished duty | E |
| When I meet my little beauty | E |
| Bringing home the cows | C |

| Tender words and kind addresses | F |
| Most polite of bows | C |
| Rosy cheeks and wavy tresses | F |
| Do my passions rouse | G |

| Air so modest and so queenly | E |
| Oh so haughty yet serenely | E |
| Bringing home the cows | C |

| Arm in arm together walking | A |
| While the cattle browse | C |
| Earnestly together talking | A |
| Plighting lovers' vows | C |
| Where the daisies are a springing | A |
| Wedding bells will soon be ringing | A |
| Then we'll watch our servant bringing | A |
| Mine and Mary's cows | C |
