Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGHIJDKD LMNMBDOD BPQPRDSD TUVUWDWD| 'T will not be long before they hear | A |
| The bullbat on the hill | B |
| And in the valley through the dusk | C |
| The pastoral whippoorwill | B |
| A few more friendly suns will call | B |
| The bluets through the loam | D |
| And star the lanes with buttercups | E |
| Away down home | D |
| - | |
| Knee deep from reedy places | F |
| Will sing the river frogs | G |
| The terrapins will sun themselves | H |
| On all the jutting logs | I |
| The angler's cautious oar will leave | J |
| A trail of drifting foam | D |
| Along the shady currents | K |
| Away down home | D |
| - | |
| The mocking bird will feel again | L |
| The glory of his wings | M |
| And wanton through the balmy air | N |
| And sunshine while he sings | M |
| With a new cadence in his call | B |
| The glint wing'd crow will roam | D |
| From field to newly furrowed field | O |
| Away down home | D |
| - | |
| When dogwood blossoms mingle | B |
| With the maple's modest red | P |
| And sweet arbutus wakes at last | Q |
| From out her winter's bed | P |
| 'T would not seem strange at all to meet | R |
| A dryad or a gnome | D |
| Or Pan or Psyche in the woods | S |
| Away down home | D |
| - | |
| Then come with me thou weary heart | T |
| Forget thy brooding ills | U |
| Since God has come to walk among | V |
| His valleys and his hills | U |
| The mart will never miss thee | W |
| Nor the scholar's dusty tome | D |
| And the Mother waits to bless thee | W |
| Away down home | D |
