| AH me my heart is like to break | B |
| The envied rose upon my cheek | C |
| The blood red rose is cold and bleak | C |
| Now Robin slighteth me | D |
| - | |
| Alas a shadow lone and pale | E |
| I all unheard my lot bewail | E |
| He listens to another's tale | E |
| He hath no ear for me | D |
| - | |
| Could he but look upon my grief | F |
| Would he not try to bring relief | F |
| I feel my days below are brief | F |
| So deep the wound I dree | G |
| - | |
| I trail about I know not how | H |
| I like a thief slink down the row | G |
| For well behind my back I know | G |
| The rest all laugh at me | D |
| - | |
| The rest to one the other wink | I |
| Whenever down the row I slink | I |
| Their hearts are filled with glee to think | I |
| How he my bane should be | D |
| - | |
| The very bairns have caught their words | J |
| As notes are caught by mocking birds | J |
| By jibes are rent my bosom chords | K |
| And grief is killing me | D |
| - | |
| I feel my days on earth are brief | F |
| Ah could he look upon my grief | F |
| Would he not try to bring relief | F |
| Would he not kinder be | D |
| - | |
| I dreamed last night to me he came | L |
| A blush was on his cheek for shame | L |
| He took my hand he breathed my name | L |
| He gave such looks to me | D |
| - | |
| Such looks No sun will rise to set | M |
| When I forget those looks forget | M |
| Those star bright eyes those eyes of jet | M |
| That wiled my heart from me | D |
| - | |
| The vision fled and I was left | N |
| To mourn a lot of hope bereft | N |
| To mourn what won my heart and cleft | N |
| And oh the agony | D |
| - | |
| Dear Robin Dear Without a peer | G |
| And yet to me so dear so dear | G |
| Ah fare thee well and may'st thou ne'er | G |
| Be doomed to sigh like me | D |
