| I hear the birds rejoice the hen | B |
| Returned into the road again | B |
| Her cheerful notes repeats The sky serene | C |
| Is in the west upon the mountain seen | C |
| The country smiles bright runs the silver stream | D |
| Each heart is cheered on every side revive | E |
| The sounds the labors of the busy hive | E |
| The workman gazes at the watery sky | F |
| As standing at the door he sings | G |
| His work in hand the little wife goes forth | H |
| And in her pail the gathered rain drops brings | G |
| The vendor of his wares from lane to lane | I |
| Begins his daily cry again | B |
| The sun returns and with his smile illumes | G |
| The villas on the neighboring hills | G |
| Through open terraces and balconies | G |
| The genial light pervades the cheerful rooms | G |
| And on the highway from afar are heard | J |
| The tinkling of the bells the creaking wheels | G |

| Whene'er as now doth life appear | L |
| A thing so pleasant and so dear | L |
| When with such love | M |
| Does man unto his books or work return | N |
| Or on himself new tasks impose | G |
| When is he less regardful of his woes | G |
| O pleasure born of pain | I |
| O idle joy and vain | I |
| Fruit of the fear just passed which shook | O |
| The wretch who life abhorred yet dreaded death | P |
| With which each neighbor held his breath | P |
| Silent and cold and wan | Q |
| Affrighted sore to see | G |
| The lightnings clouds and winds arrayed | R |
| To do us injury | G |
| - | |
| O Nature courteous | G |
| These are thy boons to us | G |
| These the delights to mortals given | S |
| Escape from pain best gift of heaven | S |
| Thou scatterest sorrows with a bounteous hand | T |
| Grief springs spontaneous | G |
| If by some monstrous growth miraculous | G |
| Pleasure at times is born of pain | I |
| It is a precious gain | I |
| O human race unto the gods so dear | L |
| Too happy in a respite brief | U |
| From any grief | U |
| Then only blessed | V |
| When Death releases thee unto thy rest | V |
