| Hush hush tread softly hush hush my dear | B |
| All the house is asleep but we know very well | C |
| That the jealous the jealous old bald pate may hear | D |
| Tho' you've padded his night cap O sweet Isabel | C |
| Tho' your feet are more light than a Fairy's feet | E |
| Who dances on bubbles where brooklets meet | E |
| Hush hush soft tiptoe hush hush my dear | B |
| For less than a nothing the jealous can hear | D |

| No leaf doth tremble no ripple is there | F |
| On the river all's still and the night's sleepy eye | G |
| Closes up and forgets all its Lethean care | F |
| Charm'd to death by the drone of the humming May fly | G |
| And the Moon whether prudish or complaisant | H |
| Hath fled to her bower well knowing I want | I |
| No light in the dusk no torch in the gloom | J |
| But my Isabel's eyes and her lips pulp'd with bloom | J |

| Lift the latch ah gently ah tenderly sweet | E |
| We are dead if that latchet gives one little chink | K |
| Well done now those lips and a flowery seat | E |
| The old man may sleep and the planets may wink | K |
| The shut rose shall dream of our loves and awake | L |
| Full blown and such warmth for the morning's take | L |
| The stock dove shall hatch her soft brace and shall coo | M |
| While I kiss to the melody aching all through | M |
