| She casts the snowy petals on the air | B |
| And what care we how many petals fall | A |

| Nay wherefore seek the seasons to forestall | A |
| It is but playing and she will not care | B |

| Across the years her visions are too fair | B |
| And what care we how many petals fall | A |

| She knows us not nor recks if she enthrall | A |
| With voice and eyes and fashion of her hair | B |
| A little passionately not at all | A |
| - | |
| Knee deep she goes in meadow grasses tall | A |
| Kissed by the daisies that her fingers tear | B |
| And what care we how many petals fall | A |
| - | |
| We pass and go but she shall not recall | A |
| What men we were nor all she made us bear | B |
| A little passionately not at all | A |
| And what care we how many petals fall | A |
