Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCBBC DDEED| Ready with leaves and with buds stood the tree | A |
| Shall I take them the frost said now puffing with glee | A |
| Oh my no let them stand | B |
| Till flowers are at hand | B |
| All trembling from tree top to root came the plea | A |
| - | |
| Flowers unfolding the birds gladly sung | C |
| Shall I take them the wind said and merrily swung | C |
| Oh my no let them stand | B |
| Till cherries are at hand | B |
| Protested the tree while it quivering hung | C |

| The cherries came forth 'neath the sun's glowing eye | D |
| Shall I take them a rosy young girl's eager cry | D |
| Oh my yes you can take | E |
| I've kept them for your sake | E |
| Low bending its branches the tree brought them nigh | D |
