Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCCC CCCCDEEF GHHGAIIA JCCJKDDK| Sweet fairies from the isles of song | A |
| Bewitching choirs from music land | B |
| The pleasures of your wondrous band | B |
| Once wooed me from the ways of wrong | A |
| Once won my heart with fond caress | C |
| To sacred vales of summer glees | C |
| Till carols fraught with lullabies | C |
| Filled all my soul with blessedness | C |
| - | |
| My yearnings miss those gentle sprites | C |
| Whose laughing lips and angel eyes | C |
| And voices ever winsome wise | C |
| Bedewed my dreams with new delights | C |
| For in the sad hours of my pain | D |
| I hold them as I hold the dead | E |
| And trust that in the vales they tread | E |
| My hands shall clasp their hands again | F |
| - | |
| From those glad meadows where they play | G |
| 'Neath lovely sun and gentle star | H |
| My longing soul has wandered far | H |
| On rocky path and thorny way | G |
| I croon again the notes of song | A |
| In strains they taught me years ago | I |
| And weep because my sorrows know | I |
| They have been absent for so long | A |
| - | |
| Return O laughing sprites of rest | J |
| From gentle isles and peaceful seas | C |
| And pour the balsamed wine of ease | C |
| Upon the anguish of my breast | J |
| Till gladness in her raptures roll | K |
| Sweet strains of music and I gain | D |
| Eternal joy for all the pain | D |
| That darkens o'er my weary soul | K |
