| Shine on me eyes which darkened lashes shade | B |
| Turn turn my way oh glorious golden head | A |
| My soul is lost then let the price be paid | B |
| Amid rich flowers your rosy lamplight gleams | C |

| I have forgotten everything but you | E |
| The apple orchard where the whitethroat sings | F |
| The quiet fields the moonlight and the dew | E |
| The virgin's bower that in wet hedgerow clings | F |

| Where clean winds blow and where good women pray | H |
| For happy honest men safe in their graves | G |
| And oh my God I would I were as they | H |
