| Herr Weiser Three score years and ten | B |
| A hale white rose of his country men | B |
| Transplanted here in the Hoosier loam | C |
| And blossomy as his German home | C |
| As blossomy and as pure and sweet | D |
| As the cool green glen of his calm retreat | D |
| Far withdrawn from the noisy town | E |
| Where trade goes clamoring up and down | E |
| Whose fret and fever and stress and strife | F |
| May not trouble his tranquil life | F |
| - | |
| Breath of rest what a balmy gust | G |
| Quite of the city's heat and dust | G |
| Jostling down by the winding road | H |
| Through the orchard ways of his quaint abode | H |
| Tether the horse as we onward fare | I |
| Under the pear trees trailing there | I |
| And thumping the wood bridge at night | J |
| With lumps of ripeness and lush delight | J |
| Till the stream as it maunders on till dawn | K |
| Is powdered and pelted and smiled upon | L |
| - | |
| Herr Weiser with his wholesome face | M |
| And the gentle blue of his eyes and grace | M |
| Of unassuming honesty | N |
| Be there to welcome you and me | N |
| And what though the toil of the farm be stopped | O |
| And the tireless plans of the place be dropped | O |
| While the prayerful master's knees are set | P |
| In beds of pansy and mignonette | P |
| And lily and aster and columbine | Q |
| Offered in love as yours and mine | Q |
| - | |
| What but a blessing of kindly thought | P |
| Sweet as the breath of forget me not | P |
| What but a spirit of lustrous love | R |
| White as the aster he bends above | R |
| What but an odorous memory | N |
| Of the dear old man made known to me | N |
| In days demanding a help like his | S |
| As sweet as the life of the lily is | S |
| As sweet as the soul of a babe bloom wise | T |
| Born of a lily in paradise | U |
