| Four lovely handmaids that uphold | C |
| Their shining mirrors rimmed with gold | C |
| To the fair city in the West | B |

| Fair lakes serene and full of light | G |
| Fair town arrayed in robes of white | G |
| How visionary ye appear | H |
| All like a floating landscape seems | A |
| In cloud land or the land of dreams | A |
| Bathed in a golden atmosphere | H |
