| Blue blue skies above me | G |
| Bloom on the meadows and buds on the trees | F |

| A pebble spoke next You are quite absurd | H |
| It said with your song s insistence | I |
| For I never saw a tree or a bird | H |

| But I know I know the tendril cried | J |
| In beautiful sweet unreason | E |
| Till lo from its prison glorified | J |
| It burst in the glad spring season | E |
