| It led adown the sloping hill and through the valley wound | B |
| And where the blooming clover shed its fragrance all around | B |
| And then between the maple trees across the little brook | C |
| To where the old fence bars let down a tortuous course it took | C |
| And often are the times I've heard the merry ringing laugh | D |
| From rosy ankled children there along the meadow path | E |

| Three boys and a little girl whose hair was chestnut gold | F |
| She's resting now in dreamless sleep beneath the crumbling mold | F |
| But I remember her as when with innocence and glee | G |
| Her laughing eyes looked into mine for she was dear to me | G |
| And thus it is I love to let the fancy photograph | D |
| The merry group that idled there along the meadow path | E |

| Adown it oft we used to go at twilight for the cows | H |
| Or wander from the beaten track a rabbit to arouse | H |
| And watch him as he scampered off with frightened leap and bound | B |
| The while we made the welkin ring and with our shouts resound | B |
| The sweetest flowers that bloom for me a fragrant aftermath | E |
| Are those that in the memory blow along the meadow path | E |
