| Let us take a day to dream | C |
| In the meadow by the stream | C |
| - | |
| We may lie in grasses cool | D |
| Fringing a pellucid pool | D |
| We may learn the gay brook runes | E |
| Sung on amber afternoons | E |
| And the keen wind rhyme that fills | F |
| Mossy hollows of the hills | F |
| - | |
| Where the wild wood whisper stirs | G |
| We may talk with lisping firs | G |
| We may gather honeyed blooms | H |
| In the dappled forest glooms | H |
| We may eat of berries red | I |
| O'er the emerald upland spread | I |
| - | |
| We may linger as we will | J |
| In the sunset valleys still | J |
| Till the gypsy shadows creep | K |
| From the starlit land of sleep | K |
| And the mist of evening gray | A |
| Girdles round our pilgrim way | A |
| - | |
| We may bring to work again | L |
| Courage from the tasselled glen | L |
| Bring a strength unfailing won | M |
| From the paths of cloud and sun | M |
| And the wholesome zest that springs | H |
| From all happy growing things | H |
