| Seek thou the well known glade | A |
| Where heavy with sweet dew the violets lie | B |
| Gleaming thro' moss tufts deep | C |
| Like dark eyes fill'd with sleep | C |
| And bath'd in hues of summer's midnight sky | B |
| - | |
| Bring me their buds to shed | D |
| Around my dying bed | D |
| A breath of May and of the wood's repose | E |
| For I in sooth depart | F |
| With a reluctant heart | F |
| That fain would linger where the bright sun glows | E |
| - | |
| Fain would I stay with thee | G |
| Alas this may not be | G |
| Yet bring me still the gifts of happier hours | H |
| Go where the fountain's breast | I |
| Catches in glassy rest | I |
| The dim green light that pours thro' laurel bowers | H |
| - | |
| I know how softly bright | J |
| Steep'd in that tender light | J |
| The water lilies tremble there ev'n now | K |
| Go to the pure stream's edge | L |
| And from its whisp'ring sedge | L |
| Bring me those flowers to cool my fever'd brow | K |
| - | |
| Then as in Hope's young days | M |
| Track thou the antique maze | M |
| Of the rich garden to its grassy mound | N |
| There is a lone white rose | E |
| Shedding in sudden snows | E |
| Its faint leaves o'er the emerald turf around | N |
| - | |
| Well know'st thou that fair tree | G |
| A murmur of the bee | G |
| Dwells ever in the honey'd lime above | O |
| Bring me one pearly flower | P |
| Of all its clustering shower | P |
| For on that spot we first reveal'd our love | O |
| - | |
| Gather one woodbine bough | K |
| Then from the lattice low | Q |
| Of the bower'd cottage which I bade thee mark | R |
| When by the hamlet last | S |
| Thro' dim wood lanes we pass'd | S |
| While dews were glancing to the glowworm's spark | R |
| - | |
| Haste to my pillow bear | T |
| Those fragrant things and fair | T |
| My hand no more may bind them up at eve | U |
| Yet shall their odour soft | V |
| One bright dream round me waft | V |
| Of life youth summer all that I must leave | U |
| - | |
| And oh if thou wouldst ask | W |
| Wherefore thy steps I task | W |
| The grove the stream the hamlet vale to trace | X |
| 'Tis that some thought of me | G |
| When I am gone may be | G |
| The spirit bound to each familiar place | X |
| - | |
| I bid mine image dwell | Y |
| Oh break not thou the spell | Y |
| In the deep wood and by the fountain side | Z |
| Thou must not my belov'd | A2 |
| Rove where we two have rov'd | A2 |
| Forgetting her that in her spring time died | A2 |
