Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDE FFGDDG HHIJJE KKLMML NNLMMO| The Autumn's come again | A |
| And the clouds descend in rain | B |
| And the leaves are fast falling in the wood | C |
| The Summer's voice is still | D |
| Save the clacking of the mill | D |
| And the lowly muttered thunder of the flood | E |
| - | |
| There's nothing in the mead | F |
| But the river's muddy speed | F |
| And the willow leaves all littered by its side | G |
| Sweet voices are all still | D |
| In the vale and on the hill | D |
| And the Summer's blooms are withered in their pride | G |
| - | |
| Fled is the cuckoo's note | H |
| To countries far remote | H |
| And the nightingale is vanished from the woods | I |
| If you search the lordship round | J |
| There is not a blossom found | J |
| And where the hay cock scented is the flood | E |
| - | |
| My true love's fled away | K |
| Since we walked 'mid cocks of hay | K |
| On the Sabbath in the Summer of the year | L |
| And she's nowhere to be seen | M |
| On the meadow or the green | M |
| But she's coming when the happy Spring is near | L |
| - | |
| When the birds begin to sing | N |
| And the flowers begin to spring | N |
| And the cowslips in the meadows reappear | L |
| When the woodland oaks are seen | M |
| In their monarchy of green | M |
| Then Mary and love's pleasures will be here | O |
