| How can I help from laughing while | B |
| The daffodilies at me smile | B |
| The tickled dew winks tipsily | B |
| In clusters of the lilac tree | C |

| Storm through the grassy labyrinths | D |
| A mirth of gold and violet | E |
| And roses bud by bud | F |
| Flash from each dainty lacing net | G |
| Red lips of maidenhood | G |

| How can I help from singing when | H |
| The swallow and the hawk again | H |
| Are noisy in the hyaline | H |
| Of happy heavens clear as wine | H |
| The robin lustily and shrill | B |
| Pipes on the timber bosomed hill | B |
| And o'er the fallow skim the bold | G |
| Mad orioles that glow | B |
| Like shining shafts of ingot gold | G |
| Shot from the morning's bow | I |

| How can I help from loving dear | J |
| Since love is of the sweetened year | J |
| The very vermin feel her power | K |
| And chip and chirrup hour by hour | K |
| It is the grasshopper at noon | H |
| The cricket's at it in the moon | H |
| Whiles lizzards glitter in the dew | G |
| And bats be on the wing | L |
| Such days of joy are short and few | G |
| Grant me thy love this spring | L |
