Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FBFBFEFE FGFGHIHI FIFIHJHJ| Ah from out this valley hollow | A |
| By cold fogs always oppressed | B |
| Could I but the outpath follow | A |
| Ah how were my spirit blest | B |
| Hills I see there glad dominions | C |
| Ever young and green for aye | D |
| Had I wings oh had I pinions | C |
| To the hills were I away | E |
| - | |
| Harmonies I hear there ringing | F |
| Tones of sweetest heavenly rest | B |
| And the gentle winds are bringing | F |
| Balmy odours to my breast | B |
| Golden fruits peep out there glowing | F |
| Through the leaves to Zephyr's play | E |
| And the flowers that there are blowing | F |
| Will become no winter's prey | E |
| - | |
| Oh what happy things are meeting | F |
| There in endless sunshine free | G |
| And the airs on those hills greeting | F |
| How reviving must they be | G |
| But me checks yon raving river | H |
| That betwixt doth chafe and roll | I |
| And its dark waves rising ever | H |
| Strike a horror to my soul | I |
| - | |
| See a skiff on wild wave heaving | F |
| But no sailor walks the mole | I |
| Quick into it firm believing | F |
| For its sails they have a soul | I |
| Thou must trust nor wait to ponder | H |
| God will give no pledge in hand | J |
| Nought but miracle bears yonder | H |
| To the lovely wonderland | J |
