Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB AACDDC AAEFFE GGEDD| When I hear the waters fretting | A |
| When I see the chestnut letting | A |
| All her lovely blossom falter down I think Alas the day | B |
| Once with magical sweet singing | A |
| Blackbirds set the woodland ringing | A |
| That awakes no more while April hours wear themselves away | B |
| - | |
| In our hearts fair hope lay smiling | A |
| Sweet as air and all beguiling | A |
| And there hung a mist of bluebells on the slope and down the dell | C |
| And we talked of joy and splendor | D |
| That the years unborn would render | D |
| And the blackbirds helped us with the story for they knew it well | C |
| - | |
| Piping fluting Bees are humming | A |
| April's here and summer's coming | A |
| Don't forget us when you walk a man with men in pride and joy | E |
| Think on us in alleys shady | F |
| When you step a graceful lady | F |
| For no fairer day have we to hope for little girl and boy | E |
| - | |
| Laugh and play O lisping waters | G |
| Lull our downy sons and daughters | G |
| Come O wind and rock their leafy cradle in thy wanderings coy | E |
| When they wake we'll end the measure | D |
| With a wild sweet cry of pleasure | D |
| And a 'Hey down derry let's be merry little girl and boy ' | - |
