| Doomed ever to roam | B |
| A beautiful exile | C |
| Afar from its home | B |
| - | |
| The cliffs on the mountain | D |
| The grand and the gray | E |
| They took the bright creature | A |
| And hurled it away | E |
| - | |
| I heard the wild downfall | F |
| And knew it must spill | G |
| A passionate heart out | H |
| All over the hill | G |
| - | |
| Oh was it a daughter | A |
| Of sorrow and sin | I |
| That they threw it so madly | J |
| Down into the lynn | I |
| - | |
| And listen my Sister | A |
| For this is the song | K |
| The Waterfall taught me | J |
| The ridges among | L |
| - | |
| Oh where are the shadows | M |
| So cool and so sweet | N |
| And the rocks saith the water | A |
| With the moss on their feet | N |
| - | |
| Oh where are my playmates | O |
| The wind and the flowers | P |
| The golden and purple | Q |
| Of honey sweet bowers | P |
| - | |
| Mine eyes have been blinded | R |
| Because of the sun | D |
| And moaning and moaning | S |
| I listlessly run | D |
| - | |
| These hills are so flinty | J |
| Ah tell me dark Earth | T |
| What valley leads back to | U |
| The place of my birth | T |
| - | |
| What valley leads up to | U |
| The haunts where a child | V |
| Of the caverns I sported | R |
| The free and the wild | V |
| - | |
| There lift me it crieth | T |
| I faint from the heat | N |
| With a sob for the shadows | M |
| So cool and so sweet | N |
| - | |
| Ye rocks that look over | A |
| With never a tear | W |
| I yearn for one half of | X |
| The wasted love here | Y |
| - | |
| My sister so wistful | Q |
| You know I believe | Z |
| Like a child for the mountains | A2 |
| This water doth grieve | Z |
| - | |
| Ah you with the blue eyes | B2 |
| And golden brown hair | W |
| Come closer and closer | A |
| And truly declare | W |
| - | |
| Supposing a darling | S |
| Once happened to sin | I |
| In a passionate space | C2 |
| Would you carry her in | I |
| - | |
| If your fathers and mothers | P |
| The grand and the gray | E |
| Had taken the weak one | D |
| And hurled her away | E |
