Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IHIH JKJK| OUR boat has drifted with the stream | A |
| That stirs the river's full sweet bosom | B |
| And now she stays where gold flags gleam | A |
| By meadow sweet's pale foam of blossom | B |

| Sedge warblers sing the sun the song | C |
| The nightingale sings to the shadows | D |
| Forget me nots grow all along | C |
| The fringes of the happy meadows | D |

| - | |
| See the wet lilies' golden beads | E |
| The river nymphs for necklace string them | F |
| And in the sighing of the reeds | E |
| You hear the song their lovers sing them | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Gold sun blue air green shimmering leaves | G |
| The weir's old song the wood's old story | H |
| Such spells the enchanting Summer weaves | G |
| She holds me in a web of glory | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| And you with head against my arm | I |
| And subtle wiles that seek to hold me | H |
| Not even you can add a charm | I |
| To the sweet sorceries that enfold me | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Yet lean there still The hour is ours | J |
| If we should move the charm might shiver | K |
| And joyless sun and scentless flowers | J |
| Might mock a disenchanted river | K |
