Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDBCCCB EEFBGGGB HHIBJJJB KKKBCCCB| The linnet sat upon its nest | A |
| By gales of morning softly prest | A |
| His green wing and his greener breast | A |
| Were damp with dews of morning | B |
| The dog rose near the oaktree grew | C |
| Blush'd swelling 'neath a veil of dew | C |
| A pink's nest to its prickles grew | C |
| Right early in the morning | B |
| - | |
| The sunshine glittered gold the while | D |
| A country maiden clomb the stile | D |
| Her straw hat couldn't hide the smile | D |
| That blushed like early morning | B |
| The lark with feathers all wet through | C |
| Looked up above the glassy dew | C |
| And to the neighbouring corn field flew | C |
| Fanning the gales of morning | B |
| - | |
| In every bush was heard a song | E |
| On each grass blade the whole way long | E |
| A silver shining drop there hung | F |
| The milky dew of morning | B |
| Where stepping stones stride o'er the brook | G |
| The rosy maid I overtook | G |
| How ruddy was her healthy look | G |
| So early in the morning | B |
| - | |
| I took her by the well turned arm | H |
| And led her over field and farm | H |
| And kissed her tender cheek so warm | I |
| A rose in early morning | B |
| The spiders' lacework shone like glass | J |
| Tied up to flowers and cat tail grass | J |
| The dew drops bounced before the lass | J |
| Sprinkling the early morning | B |
| - | |
| Her dark curls fanned among the gales | K |
| The skylark whistled o'er the vales | K |
| I told her love's delightful tales | K |
| Among the dews of morning | B |
| She crop't a flower shook oft' the dew | C |
| And on her breast the wild rose grew | C |
| She blushed as fair as lovely too | C |
| The living rose of morning | B |
