Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEAGHG AIHIJKLKAHMH AHHHNONPAQNQOh would that she were here | A |
These hills and dales among | B |
Where vocal groves are gayly mocked | C |
By Echo's airy tongue | B |
Where jocund nature smiles | D |
In all her boon attire | E |
And roams the deeply tangled wilds | F |
Of hawthorn and sweet brier | E |
Oh would that she were here | A |
The gentle maid I sing | G |
Whose voice is cheerful as the songs | H |
Of forest birds in spring | G |

Oh would that she were here | A |
Where the free waters leap | I |
Shouting in sportive joyousness | H |
Adown the rocky steep | I |
Where zephyrs crisp and cool | J |
The fountains as they play | K |
With health upon their wings of light | L |
And gladness on their way | K |
Oh would that she were here | A |
With these balm breathing trees | H |
The sylvan daughters of the sun | M |
The rain cloud and the breeze | H |

Oh would that she were here | A |
Where glide the rosy hours | H |
Murm'ring the drowsy hum of bees | H |
And fragrant with the flowers | H |
Where Heaven's redeeming love | N |
Spans earth in Mercy's bow | O |
The promise of the world above | N |
Unto the world below | P |
Oh would that she were here | A |
Amid these shades serene | Q |
Oh for the spell of woman's love | N |
To consecrate the scene | Q |
