| Above the slumbering fields | B |
| Where yet the ground no fruitage yields | B |
| Save as the sunlight falls | A |
| In dreams of harvest yellow | C |
| What voice remembered calls | A |
| So bubbling fresh so soft and mellow | C |
| - | |
| A darting azure feathered arrow | C |
| From some lithe sapling's bow curve fleet | D |
| The bluebird springing light and narrow | C |
| Sings in flight with gurglings sweet | D |
| - | |
| Out of the South I wing | E |
| Blown on the breath of Spring | E |
| The little faltering song | F |
| That in my beak I bring | E |
| Some maiden shall catch and sing | E |
| Filling it with the longing | E |
| And the blithe unfettered thronging | E |
| Of her spirit's blossoming | E |
| - | |
| Warbling along | E |
| In the sunny weather | G |
| Float my notes | H |
| Through the sunny motes | H |
| Falling light as a feather | G |
| Flit flit o'er the fertile land | I |
| 'Mid hovering insects' hums | J |
| Fall into the sower's hand | I |
| Then when his harvest comes | J |
| The seed and the song shall have flowered together | G |
| - | |
| From the Coosa and Altamaha | K |
| With a thought of the dim blue Gulf | L |
| From the Roanoke and Kanawha | K |
| From the musical Southern rivers | M |
| O'er the land where the fierce war wolf | N |
| Lies slain and buried in flowers | M |
| I come to your chill sad hours | M |
| And the woods where the sunlight shivers | M |
| I come like an echo 'Awake ' | - |
| I answer the sky and the lake | E |
| And the clear cool color that quivers | M |
| In all your azure rills | M |
| I come to your wan bleak hills | M |
| For a greeting that rises dearer | G |
| To homely hearts draws me nearer | G |
| Than the warmth of the rice fields or wealth of the ranches | M |
| - | |
| I will charm away your sorrow | C |
| For I sing of the dewy morrow | C |
| My melody sways like the branches | M |
| My light feet set astir | C |
| I bring to the old as I hover | C |
| The days and the joys that were | C |
| And hope to the waiting lover | C |
| Then take my note and sing | E |
| Filling it with the longing | E |
| And the blithe unfettered thronging | E |
| Of your spirit's blossoming | E |
| - | |
| Not long that music lingers | M |
| Like the breath of forgotten singers | M |
| It flies or like the March cloud's shadow | C |
| That sweeps with its wing the faded meadow | C |
| Not long And yet thy fleeting | E |
| Thy tender flute toned greeting | E |
| O bluebird wakes an answer that remains | M |
| The purest chord in all the year's refrains | M |
