| The love that I have lost | B |
| - | |
| WHAT wak'st thou Spring sweet voices in the woods | C |
| And reed like echoes that have long been mute | D |
| Thou bringest back to fill the solitudes | C |
| The lark's clear pipe the cuckoo's viewless flute | D |
| Whose tone seems breathing mournfulness or glee | E |
| Ev'n as our hearts may be | E |
| - | |
| And the leaves greet thee Spring the joyous leaves | C |
| Whose tremblings gladden many a copse and glade | F |
| Where each young spray a rosy flush receives | C |
| When thy south wind hath pierced the whispery shade | F |
| And happy murmurs running thro' the grass | C |
| Tell that thy footsteps pass | C |
| - | |
| And the bright waters they too hear thy call | G |
| Spring the awakener thou hast burst their sleep | H |
| Amidst the hollows of the rocks their fall | G |
| Makes melody and in the forests deep | H |
| Where sudden sparkles and blue gleams betray | I |
| Their windings to the day | I |
| - | |
| And flowers the fairy peopled world of flowers | C |
| Thou from the dust hast set that glory free | E |
| Colouring the cowslip with the sunny hours | C |
| And pencilling the wood anemone | J |
| Silent they seem yet each to thoughtful eye | K |
| Glows with mute poesy | C |
| - | |
| But what awak'st thou in the heart O Spring | L |
| The human heart with all its dreams and sighs | C |
| Thou that giv'st back so many a buried thing | L |
| Restorer of forgotten harmonies | C |
| Fresh songs and scents break forth where'er thou art | M |
| What wak'st thou in the heart | M |
| - | |
| Too much oh there too much we know not well | N |
| Wherefore it should be thus yet rous'd by thee | E |
| What fond strange yearnings from the soul's deep cell | N |
| Gush for the faces we no more may see | E |
| How are we haunted in thy wind's low tone | J |
| By voices that are gone | O |
| - | |
| Looks of familiar love that never more | P |
| Never on earth our aching eyes shall meet | Q |
| Past words of welcome to our household door | P |
| And vanish'd smiles and sounds of parted feet | Q |
| Spring midst the murmurs of thy flowering trees | C |
| Why why reviv'st thou these | C |
| - | |
| Vain longings for the dead why come they back | A |
| With thy young birds and leaves and living blooms | C |
| Oh is it not that from thine earthly track | A |
| Hope to thy world may look beyond the tombs | C |
| Yes gentle spring no sorrow dims thine air | R |
| Breath'd by our lov'd ones there | R |
