| Thro' May time blossoms with whisper low | D |
| The soft wind sang to the dead below | D |
| Think not with regret on the Springtime's song | E |
| And the task ye left while your hands were strong | E |
| The song would have ceased when the Spring was past | F |
| And the task that was joyous be weary at last | F |
| - | |
| To the winter sky when the nights were long | E |
| The tree tops tossed with a ceaseless song | E |
| Do ye think with regret on the sunny days | G |
| And the path ye left with its untrod ways | G |
| The sun might sink in a storm cloud's frown | H |
| And the path grow rough when the night came down | H |

| In the grey twilight of the autumn eves | I |
| It sighed as it sang through the dying leaves | I |
| Ye think with regret that the world was bright | J |
| That your path was short and your task was light | J |
| The path though short was perhaps the best | K |
| And the toil was sweet that it led to rest | K |
