| I wait for a sign | D |
| The leaves to be waved | I |
| The tall tree tops laved | I |
| In a flood of sunshine | D |
| This world to be saved | I |
| - | |
| In the deep violet air | A |
| Not a leaf is stirred | I |
| There is no sound heard | I |
| But afar the rare | A |
| Trilled voice of a bird | I |
