Rhyme Scheme: AABCB DDEC FFGC HHIC JKLCL| Under boughs of breathing May | A |
| In the mild spring time I lay | A |
| Lonely for I had no love | B |
| And the sweet birds all sang for pity | C |
| Cuckoo lark and dove | B |
| - | |
| Tell me cuckoo then I cried | D |
| Dare I woo and wed a bride | D |
| I like thee have no home nest | E |
| And the twin notes thus tuned their ditty | C |
| 'Love can answer best ' | - |
| - | |
| Nor warm dove with tender coo | F |
| Have I thy soft voice to woo | F |
| Even were a damsel by | G |
| And the deep woodland crooned its ditty | C |
| 'Love her first and try ' | - |
| - | |
| Nor have I wild lark thy wing | H |
| That from bluest heaven can bring | H |
| Bliss whatever fate befall | I |
| And the sky lyrist trilled this ditty | C |
| 'Love will give thee all ' | - |
| - | |
| So it chanced while June was young | J |
| Wooing well with fervent song | K |
| I had won a damsel coy | L |
| And the sweet birds that sang for pity | C |
| Jubileed for joy | L |
