| Now the dreary winter's over | B |
| Fled with him are grief and pain | C |
| When the trees their bloom recover | B |
| Then the soul is born again | D |
| Spikenard blossoms shaking | E |
| Perfume all the air | F |
| And in bud and flower breaking | E |
| Stands my garden fair | F |
| While with swelling gladness blest | G |
| Heaves my friend's rejoicing breast | G |
| Oh come home lost friend of mine | H |
| Scared from out my tent and land | I |
| Drink from me the spicy wine | H |
| Milk and must from out my hand | I |
| - | |
| Cares which hovered round my brow | J |
| Vanish while the garden now | J |
| Girds itself with myrtle hedges | K |
| Bright hued edges | L |
| Round it lie | A |
| Suddenly | M |
| All my sorrows die | A |
| See the breathing myrrh trees blow | N |
| Aromatic airs enfold me | M |
| While the splendor and the glow | N |
| Of the walnut branches hold me | M |
| - | |
| And a balsam breath is flowing | E |
| Through the leafy shadows green | O |
| On the left the cassia's growing | E |
| On the right the aloe's seen | O |
| Lo the clear cup crystalline | H |
| In itself a gem of art | P |
| Ruby red foams up with wine | H |
| Sparkling rich with froth and bubble | Q |
| I forget the want and trouble | Q |
| Buried deep within my heart | P |
| - | |
| Where is he who lingered here | R |
| But a little while agone | H |
| From my homestead he has flown | H |
| From the city sped alone | H |
| Dwelling in the forest drear | R |
| Oh come again to those who wait thee long | S |
| And who will greet thee with a choral song | S |
| Beloved kindle bright | T |
| Once more thine everlasting light | T |
| Through thee oh cherub with protecting wings | U |
| My glory out of darkness springs | U |

| Crocus and spikenard blossom on my lawn | H |
| The brier fades the thistle is withdrawn | H |
| Behold where glass clear brooks are flowing | E |
| The splendor of the myrtle blowing | E |
| The garden tree has doffed her widow's veil | V |
| And shines in festal garb in verdure pale | V |
| The turtle dove is cooing hark | W |
| Is that the warble of the lark | W |
| Unto their perches they return again | H |
| Oh brothers carol forth your joyous strain | H |
| Pour out full throated ecstasy of mirth | X |
| Proclaiming the Lord's glory to the earth | X |
| One with a low sweet song | S |
| One echoing loud and long | S |
| Chanting the music of a spirit strong | S |
| In varied tints the landscape glows | Y |
| - | |
| In rich array appears the rose | Y |
| While the pomegranate's wreath of green | H |
| The gauzy red and snow white blossoms screen | H |
| Who loves it now rejoices for its sake | Z |
| And those are glad who sleep and those who wake | Z |
| When cool breathed evening visiteth the world | A2 |
| In flower and leaf the beaded dew is pearled | A2 |
| Reviving all that droops at length | B2 |
| And to the languid giving strength | B2 |
| - | |
| Now in the east the shining light behold | A2 |
| The sun has oped a lustrous path of gold | A2 |
| Within my narrow garden's greenery | R |
| Shot forth a branch sprang to a splendid tree | R |
| Then in mine ear the joyous words did ring | E |
| From Jesse's root a verdant branch shall spring | E |
| My Friend has cast His eyes upon my grief | C2 |
| According to His mercy sends relief | C2 |
| Hark the redemption hour's resounding stroke | D2 |
| For him who bore with patient heart the yoke | D2 |
