| And where have you been so long | B |
| And do you bring that grace of spring | C |
| That filleth my heart with song | B |
| - | |
| Descend upon my roof | D |
| Bide on this ash content | E |
| I would have you know what cruel woe | F |
| Befell me when you went | E |
| - | |
| All up in the moody sky | G |
| A shifting threat o'er head | H |
| They were breaking the snow and bidding it go | F |
| Cover the beautiful dead | H |
| - | |
| Came snow on garden spot | I |
| Came snow on mere and wold | J |
| Came the withering breath of white robed death | K |
| And the once warm earth was cold | J |
| - | |
| Stork the tender rose tree | L |
| That bloometh when you are here | M |
| Trembled and sighed like a waiting bride | N |
| Then drooped on a virgin bier | M |
| - | |
| But the brook that hath seen you come | O |
| Leaps forth with a hearty shout | P |
| And the crocus peeps from the bed where it sleeps | Q |
| To know what the noise is about | P |
| - | |
| Welcome O honest friend | R |
| And bide on my roof content | E |
| For my heart would sing of the grace of spring | C |
| When the winter of woe is spent | E |
