| BY the soft green light in the woody glade | C |
| On the banks of moss where thy childhood play'd | C |
| By the household tree thro' which thine eye | D |
| First look'd in love to the summer sky | D |
| By the dewy gleam by the very breath | E |
| Of the primrose tufts in the grass beneath | F |
| Upon thy heart there is laid a spell | G |
| Holy and precious oh guard it well | G |
| - | |
| By the sleepy ripple of the stream | H |
| Which hath lull'd thee into many a dream | H |
| By the shiver of the ivy leaves | I |
| To the wind of morn at thy casement eaves | I |
| By the bee's deep murmur in the limes | J |
| By the music of the Sabbath chimes | J |
| By every sound of thy native shade | C |
| Stronger and dearer the spell is made | C |
| - | |
| By the gathering round the winter hearth | K |
| When twilight call'd unto household mirth | L |
| By the fairy tale or the legend old | M |
| In that ring of happy faces told | M |
| By the quiet hour when hearts unite | N |
| In the parting prayer and the kind 'Good night ' | - |
| By the smiling eye and the loving tone | O |
| Over thy life has the spell been thrown | O |
| - | |
| And bless that gift it hath gentle might | N |
| A guardian power and a guiding light | N |
| - | |
| It hath led the freeman forth to stand | P |
| In the mountain battles of his land | P |
| It hath brought the wanderer o'er the seas | Q |
| To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze | Q |
| And back to the gates of his father's hall | R |
| It hath led the weeping prodigal | S |
| - | |
| Yes when thy heart in its pride would stray | T |
| From the pure first loves of its youth away | T |
| When the sullying breath of the world would come | U |
| O'er the flowers it brought from its childhood's home | V |
| Think thou again of the woody glade | C |
| And the sound by the rustling ivy made | C |
| Think of the tree at thy father's door | W |
| And the kindly spell shall have power once more | W |
