| Fair morn I bring my greeting | C |
| To lofty skies and pale | D |
| Save where cloud shreds are fleeting | C |
| Before the driving gale | D |
| The weary branches tossing | C |
| Careless of autumn's grief | E |
| Shadow and sunlight crossing | C |
| On each earth spotted leaf | E |
| - | |
| I will escape their grieving | C |
| And so I close my eyes | F |
| And see the light boat heaving | C |
| Where the billows fall and rise | F |
| I see the sunlight glancing | C |
| Upon its silvery sail | D |
| Where a youth's wild heart is dancing | C |
| And a maiden growing pale | D |
| - | |
| And I am quietly pacing | C |
| The smooth stones o'er and o'er | G |
| Where the merry waves are chasing | C |
| Each other to the shore | H |
| Words come to me while listening | C |
| Where the rocks and waters meet | I |
| And the little shells are glistening | C |
| In sand pools at my feet | I |
| - | |
| Away the white sail gleaming | C |
| Again I close my eyes | F |
| And the autumn light is streaming | C |
| From pale blue cloudless skies | F |
| Upon the lone hill falling | C |
| 'Mid the sound of heather bells | J |
| Where the running stream is calling | C |
| Unto the silent wells | J |
| - | |
| Along the pathway lonely | K |
| My horse and I move slow | L |
| No living thing save only | K |
| The home returning crow | L |
| And the moon so large is peering | C |
| Up through the white cloud foam | M |
| And I am gladly nearing | C |
| My father's house my home | M |
| - | |
| As I were gently dreaming | C |
| The solemn trees look out | N |
| The hills the waters seeming | C |
| In still sleep round about | N |
| And in my soul are ringing | C |
| Tones of a spirit lyre | O |
| As my beloved were singing | C |
| Amid a sister choir | G |
| - | |
| If peace were in my spirit | A |
| How oft I'd close my eyes | F |
| And all the earth inherit | A |
| And all the changeful skies | F |
| Thus leave the sermon dreary | K |
| Thus leave the lonely hearth | P |
| No more a spirit weary | K |
| A free one of the earth | Q |
