Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFG HIIH JKKJ LMML NDDN OPPO| A wistful note from out the sky | A |
| 'Pure pure pure ' in plaintive tone | B |
| As if the wand'rer were alone | B |
| And hardly knew to sing or cry | A |
| - | |
| But now a flash of eager wing | C |
| Flitting twinkling by the wall | D |
| And pleadings sweet and am'rous call | D |
| Ah now I know his heart doth sing | C |
| - | |
| O bluebird welcome back again | E |
| Thy azure coat and ruddy vest | F |
| Are hues that April loveth best | F |
| Warm skies above the furrowed plain | G |
| - | |
| The farm boy hears thy tender voice | H |
| And visions come of crystal days | I |
| With sugar camps in maple ways | I |
| And scenes that make his heart rejoice | H |
| - | |
| The lucid smoke drifts on the breeze | J |
| The steaming pans are mantling white | K |
| And thy blue wing's a joyous sight | K |
| Among the brown and leafless trees | J |
| - | |
| Now loosened currents glance and run | L |
| And buckets shine on sturdy boles | M |
| The forest folk peep from their holes | M |
| And work is play from sun to sun | L |
| - | |
| The downy beats his sounding limb | N |
| The nuthatch pipes his nasal call | D |
| And Robin perched on tree top tall | D |
| Heavenward lifts his evening hymn | N |
| - | |
| Now go and bring thy homesick bride | O |
| Persuade her here is just the place | P |
| To build a home and found a race | P |
| In Downy's cell my lodge beside | O |
