| Zephyr returns and in his jocund train | A |
| Brings verdure flowers and days serenely clear | C |
| Brings Progne's twitter Philomel's lorn strain | A |
| With every bloom that paints the vernal year | C |
| Cloudless the skies and smiling every plain | A |
| With joyance flush'd Jove views his daughter dear | C |
| Love's genial power pervades earth air and main | A |
| All beings join'd in fond accord appear | C |
| But nought to me returns save sorrowing sighs | D |
| Forced from my inmost heart by her who bore | E |
| Those keys which govern'd it unto the skies | D |
| The blossom'd meads the choristers of air | F |
| Sweet courteous damsels can delight no more | E |
| Each face looks savage and each prospect drear | E |

| The spring returns with all her smiling train | A |
| The wanton Zephyrs breathe along the bowers | H |
| The glistening dew drops hang on bending flowers | H |
| And tender green light shadows o'er the plain | A |
| And thou sweet Philomel renew'st thy strain | A |
| Breathing thy wild notes to the midnight grove | I |
| All nature feels the kindling fire of love | J |
| The vital force of spring's returning reign | A |
| But not to me returns the cheerful spring | K |
| O heart that know'st no period to thy grief | B |
| Nor Nature's smiles to thee impart relief | B |
| Nor change of mind the varying seasons bring | K |
| She she is gone All that e'er pleased before | E |
| Adieu ye birds ye flowers ye fields that charm no more | E |

| Returning Zephyr the sweet season brings | M |
| With flowers and herbs his breathing train among | N |
| And Progne twitters Philomela sings | M |
| Leading the many colour'd spring along | O |
| Serene the sky and fair the laughing field | P |
| Jove views his daughter with complacent brow | E |
| Earth sea and air to Love's sweet influence yield | P |
| And creatures all his magic power avow | E |
| But nought alas for me the season brings | M |
| Save heavier sighs from my sad bosom drawn | A |
| By her who can from heaven unlock its springs | M |
| And warbling birds and flower bespangled lawn | A |
| And fairest acts of ladies fair and mild | Q |
| A desert seem and its brute tenants wild | Q |

| Zephyr returns and winter's rage restrains | R |
| With herbs with flowers his blooming progeny | A |
| Now Progne prattles Philomel complains | R |
| And spring assumes her robe of various dye | S |
| The meadows smile heaven glows nor Jove disdains | R |
| To view his daughter with delighted eye | S |
| While Love through universal nature reigns | R |
| And life is fill'd with amorous sympathy | A |
| But grief not joy returns to me forlorn | A |
| And sighs which from my inmost heart proceed | T |
| For her by whom to heaven its keys were borne | A |
| The song of birds the flower enamell'd mead | T |
| And graceful acts which most the fair adorn | A |
| A desert seem and beasts of savage prey | E |
