| Could I O Love obtain a charter clear | C |
| To be thy bard in all thy nights and days | D |
| I would consult the stars from year to year | C |
| And talk with trees and learn of them their ways | D |
| And why the nymphs so seldom now appear | C |
| In human form with rapt and earnest gaze | D |
| And I would learn of thee why joy decays | D |
| And why the Fauns have ceas'd to flourish here | E |
| I would in answer to the wind's Alas | F |
| Explain the causes of a sorrow's flight | G |
| I would peruse the writing on the grass | F |
| Which flowers have traced in blue and red and white | G |
| And reading these I would as from a pen | H |
| Read thoughts of thine unguess'd by other men | H |
