| Came over the down by the wind washed moor | B |
| And the king looked out on her grace forlorn | A |
| And he took her in at his palace door | C |

| He made her queen he gave her a crown | D |
| Bidding her rest and be glad and gay | E |
| In his golden town with a golden gown | D |
| And a new gold lily every day | E |

| But no king gathers the golden rose | F |

| One came at last to the palace keep | G |
| By worlds of water and leagues of land | H |
| Gray were his garments his eyes were deep | G |
| And he held the golden rose in his hand | H |

| She left gold gown gold town gold crown | D |
| And followed him straight to a world apart | I |
| And he left her asleep on the wind washed down | D |
| With the golden rose on her quiet heart | I |
