| The dawn laughs out on orient hills | B |
| And dances with the diamond rills | B |
| The ambrosial wind but faintly stirs | B |
| The silken beaded gossamers | B |
| In the wide valleys lone and fair | C |
| Lyrics are piped from limpid air | C |
| And far above the pine trees free | D |
| Voice ancient lore of sky and sea | D |
| Come let us fill our hearts straightway | E |
| With hope and courage of the day | F |

| Noon hiving sweets of sun and flower | G |
| Has fallen on dreams in wayside bower | G |
| Where bees hold honeyed fellowship | H |
| With the ripe blossom of her lip | H |
| All silent are her poppied vales | B |
| And all her long Arcadian dales | B |
| Where idleness is gathered up | I |
| A magic draught in summer's cup | I |
| Come let us give ourselves to dreams | B |
| By lisping margins of her streams | B |

| Adown the golden sunset way | F |
| The evening comes in wimple gray | F |
| By burnished shore and silver lake | J |
| Cool winds of ministration wake | J |
| O'er occidental meadows far | K |
| There shines the light of moon and star | K |
| And sweet low tinkling music rings | B |
| About the lips of haunted springs | B |
| In quietude of earth and air | C |
| 'Tis meet we yield our souls to prayer | C |
