Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL MNMNOO PLPLCC| As the dim twilight shrouds | A |
| The mountain's purple crest | B |
| And Summer's white and folded clouds | A |
| Are glowing in the west | B |
| Loud shouts come up the rocky dell | C |
| And voices hail the evening bell | C |
| - | |
| Faint is the goatherd's song | D |
| And sighing comes the breeze | E |
| The silent river sweeps along | D |
| Amid its bending trees | E |
| And the full moon shines faintly there | F |
| And music fills the evening air | F |
| - | |
| Beneath the waving firs | G |
| The tinkling cymbals sound | H |
| And as the wind the foliage stirs | G |
| I see the dancers bound | H |
| Where the green branches arched above | I |
| Bend over this fair scene of love | I |
| - | |
| And he is there that sought | J |
| My young heart long ago | K |
| But he has left me though I thought | J |
| He ne'er could leave me so | K |
| Ah lover's vows how frail are they | L |
| And his were made but yesterday | L |
| - | |
| Why comes he not I call | M |
| In tears upon him yet | N |
| 'Twere better ne'er to love at all | M |
| Than love and then forget | N |
| Why comes he not Alas I should | O |
| Reclaim him still if weeping could | O |
| - | |
| But see he leaves the glade | P |
| And beckons me away | L |
| He comes to seek his mountain maid | P |
| I cannot chide his stay | L |
| Glad sounds along the valley swell | C |
| And voices hail the evening bell | C |
