Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL MFMFN NO| OVER the field where the grass is cool | A |
| Follow the road who must | B |
| With a song for the beech and the brown pool | A |
| And the noiseless tread in the dust | B |
| With a laugh for the lazy hours that go | C |
| And the folk who pass us by | D |
| The trees they grow so broad so low | C |
| They shut me from the sky | D |
| - | |
| Here be strawberries wild and sweet | E |
| Follow the road who may | F |
| And here's a rest for a bairn's feet | E |
| And a kiss at the close o' day | F |
| And here's a cloud from the shining sea | G |
| Like a white moth in the night | H |
| On the edge o' the barley field may be | G |
| The stars would show more bright | H |
| - | |
| Cut me a flute where the reeds are brown | I |
| Follow the road who will | J |
| O I'll dress you fair in a green gown | I |
| And a cloak that is finer still | J |
| Your sleeves shall be o' the fairies' lawn | K |
| Your shoon as red as the rose | L |
| Do you think that the wind which wakes at dawn | K |
| Will bring us a breath o' the snows | L |
| - | |
| O the world's wide and the world is long | M |
| Follow the road who may | F |
| And here's a lilt of the wild song | M |
| The Romany pipers play | F |
| And 'Mine ' it sings 'is the moon's shield | N |
| And the cloak o' the cloud is mine ' | - |
| Do you think that the lowland clover field | N |
| Is sweet as the upland pine | O |
