Singing along her sunny ways | B |
And all the glory she unwound | A |
She gave to him for joy and praise | B |

And he whom lavish morning met | C |
With new blown flowers and minstrelsy | B |
Looked on the gift through eyelids wet | C |
For sorrow of satiety | C |

And he whom noon put to the proof | D |
With trumpet call and weapon blessed | C |
Fought the brave fight with soul aloof | D |
Harkening for some remote behest | C |

Not homeward could the winged feet fare | E |
The lyric laughter choked a sigh | F |
A wanderer from he knew not where | E |
Dreamer of dreams he knew not why | F |
