Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDAEEEA FFFAGGHA IJIAKKKA| Who loves the white thorn tree | A |
| And the river running free | A |
| There a maiden stood with me | A |
| In Summer weather | B |
| Near a cottage far from town | C |
| While the sun went brightly down | C |
| O'er the meadows green and brown | C |
| We loved together | B |
| - | |
| How sweet her drapery flowed | D |
| While the moor cock oddly crowed | D |
| I took the kiss which love bestowed | D |
| Under the white thorn tree | A |
| Soft winds the water curled | E |
| The trees their branches furled | E |
| Sweetest nook in all the world | E |
| Is where she stood with me | A |
| - | |
| Calm came the evening air | F |
| The sky was sweet and fair | F |
| In the river shadowed there | F |
| Close by the hawthorn tree | A |
| Round her neck I clasped my arms | G |
| And kissed her rosy charms | G |
| O'er the flood the hackle swarms | H |
| Where the maiden stood with me | A |
| - | |
| O there's something falls so dear | I |
| On the music of the ear | J |
| Where the river runs so clear | I |
| And my lover met with me | A |
| At the foot of Clifford Hill | K |
| Still I hear the clacking mill | K |
| And the river's running still | K |
| Under the trysting tree | A |
