Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEDCEFFGGCCHCCH IIJJCKLKCLMMNNCFOFCO| She came through shade and shine | A |
| By scarlet trumpetvine | A |
| And fragrant buttonbush | B |
| That heaped the wayside hush | B |
| And oh | C |
| The orange red of the butterfly weed | D |
| And pink of the milkweed's plume | E |
| Nodded as if to give her heed | D |
| As she passed through gleam and gloom heigh ho | C |
| As she passed through gleam and gloom | E |
| Marybud gold her hair | F |
| And deep as it was fair | F |
| Her eyes a chicory blue | G |
| Two wildflowers bright with dew | G |
| And oh | C |
| The flowers knew as flowers know | C |
| The one she'd come to find | H |
| They read the secret she hid below | C |
| In her maiden heart and mind heigh ho | C |
| Her maiden heart and mind | H |
| All day with hearts elate | I |
| They watched him from the gate | I |
| Where in the field he mowed | J |
| At the end of the old hill road | J |
| And oh | C |
| They seemed to see with their petaled eyes | K |
| The thing he was thinking of | L |
| And whispered the wind in secret wise | K |
| All that they knew of love heigh ho | C |
| All that they knew of love | L |
| No matter what befell | M |
| Not one wildflower will tell | M |
| Not one that leaned to look | N |
| And see the kiss he took | N |
| And oh | C |
| The things they said in the woodland there | F |
| You must ask of the wandering breeze | O |
| Who whispers all news of earth and air | F |
| And is gossip of the trees heigh ho | C |
| Old gossip of the trees | O |
