Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFFG HIHIJEKE FGFFG| While skies glint bright with bluest light | A |
| Through clouds that race o'er fields and town | B |
| And leaves go dancing left and right | A |
| And orchard apples tumble down | B |
| While school girls sweet in lane or street | C |
| Lean 'gainst the wind and feel and hear | D |
| Its glad heart like a lover's beat | C |
| So reigns the rapture of the year | E |

| The ho and hey and whop hooray | F |
| Though winter clouds be looming | G |
| Remember a November day | F |
| Is merrier than mildest May | F |
| With all her blossoms blooming | G |
| - | |
| While birds in scattered flight are blown | H |
| Aloft and lost in dusky mist | I |
| And truant boys scud home alone | H |
| 'Neath skies of gold and amethyst | I |
| While twilight falls and Echo calls | J |
| Across the haunted atmosphere | E |
| With low sweet laughs at intervals | K |
| So reigns the rapture of the year | E |
| - | |
| The ho and hey and whop hooray | F |
| Though winter clouds be looming | G |
| Remember a November day | F |
| Is merrier than mildest May | F |
| With all her blossoms blooming | G |
