| With far away the shrill | A |
| Crying of a cock | B |
| Or the shaken bell | C |
| From a cow's throat | D |
| Moving through the bushes | E |
| Or the soft shock | B |
| Of wizened apples falling | F |
| From an old tree | G |
| In a forgotten orchard | H |
| Upon the hilly rock | B |

| Oh grey hill | A |
| Where the grazing herd | H |

| Crops the spiky weed | J |
| Oh stony pasture | K |
| Where the tall mullein | L |
| Stands up so sturdy | G |
| On its little seed | J |
