Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFDGHIBGAABCEFJ KLKA| In the very early morning | A |
| Long before Dawn time | B |
| I lay down in the paddock | C |
| And listened to the cold song of the grass | D |
| Between my fingers the green blades | E |
| And the green blades pressed against my body | F |
| Who is she leaning so heavily upon me | F |
| Sang the grass | D |
| Why does she weep on my bosom | G |
| Mingling her tears with the tears of my mystic lover | H |
| Foolish little earth child | I |
| It is not yet time | B |
| One day I shall open my bosom | G |
| And you shall slip in but not weeping | A |
| Then in the early morning | A |
| Long before Dawn time | B |
| Your lover will lie in the paddock | C |
| Between his fingers the green blades | E |
| And the green blades pressed against his body | F |
| My song shall not sound cold to him | J |
| In my deep wave he will find the wave of your hair | K |
| In my strong sweet perfume the perfume of your kisses | L |
| Long and long he will lie there | K |
| Laughing not weeping | A |
