| There's the cowslip narcissus and sweet mignonette | D |
| The asters verbenas the fuschias and yet | D |
| As much as I love them in Summer array | G |

| With glad voices the birds as they flit to and fro | C |
| Are singing their songs where the pink and the snow | C |
| Of the orchard bedecked in its garments so rare | I |
| Is diffusing and sending its breath on the air | I |
| And the rays of the sun sift through on the grass | J |
| And the dew drops that sparkle no jewels surpass | J |
| In Springtime at evening at morning at noon | E |
| How sweet is the scent of the apple trees' bloom | F |

| And when Summer is gone and Autumn has shed | D |
| It's soft dreamy haze through the trees overhead | D |
| On each spreading branch where blossoms now cling | L |
| The red and the gold to the fruit it will bring | L |
| And stripe with a skill and give it that blush | M |
| Only Nature can paint with her delicate brush | M |
| O when life ebbs away then make me a tomb | F |
| Right out in the orchard where the apple trees bloom | F |
