| Why trembling silent wand'rer why | B |
| From me and Pity do you fly | B |
| Your little heart against your plumes | C |
| Beats hard ah dreary are these glooms | C |
| Famine has chok'd the note of joy | D |
| That charm'd the roving shepherd boy | D |
| Why wand'rer do you look so shy | B |
| And why when I approach you fly | B |
| The crumbs which at your feet I strew | E |
| Are only meant to nourish you | E |
| They are not thrown with base decoy | D |
| To rob you of one hour of joy | D |
| Come follow to my silent mill | F |
| That stands beneath yon snow clad hill | F |
| There will I house your trembling form | G |
| There shall your shiv'ring breast be warm | G |
| And when your little heart grows strong | H |
| I'll ask you for your simple song | H |
| And when you will not tarry more | I |
| Open shall be my wicket door | I |
| And freely when you chirp adieu | E |
| I'll wish you well sweet warbler too | E |
| I'll wish you many a summer hour | A |
| On top of tree or abbey tow'r | J |
| When Spring her wasted form retrieves | C |
| And gives your little roof its leaves | C |
| May you a happy lover find | K |
| A kindred partner to your mind | K |
| And when amid the tangled spray | L |
| The sun shall shoot a parting ray | L |
| May all within your mossy nest | M |
| Be safe be merry and be blest | M |
