Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CBCB DEFFDE CBCB| Music music with throb and swing | A |
| Of a plaintive note and long | B |
| 'Tis a note no human throat could sing | A |
| No harp with its dulcet golden string | A |
| Nor lute nor lyre with liquid ring | A |
| Is sweet as the robin's song | B |

| He sings for love of the season | C |
| When the days grow warm and long | B |
| For the beautiful God sent reason | C |
| That his breast was born for song | B |

| Calling calling so fresh and clear | D |
| Through the song sweet days of May | E |
| Warbling there and whistling here | F |
| He swells his voice on the drinking ear | F |
| On the great wide pulsing atmosphere | D |
| Till his music drowns the day | E |

| He sings for love of the season | C |
| When the days grow warm and long | B |
| For the beautiful God sent reason | C |
| That his breast was born for song | B |
