Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ EFEF| The fountains serenade the flowers | A |
| Upon their silver lute | B |
| And nestled in their leafy bowers | A |
| The forest birds are mute | B |
| The bright and glittering hosts above | C |
| Unbar their golden gates | D |
| While Nature holds her court of love | C |
| And for her client waits | D |
| Then lady wake in beauty rise | E |
| 'Tis now the promised hour | F |
| When torches kindle in the skies | E |
| To light thee to thy bower | F |

| To love the witching night | H |
| For all that's beautiful and fair | G |
| In hours like these unite | H |
| E'en thus the sweets to flowerets given | I |
| The moonlight on the tree | J |
| And all the bliss of earth and heaven | I |
| Are mingled love in thee | J |
| Then lady wake in beauty rise | E |
| 'Tis now the promised hour | F |
| When torches kindle in the skies | E |
| To light thee to thy bower | F |
