Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABCDECFGFG HIHHHICJBCGKGK HAHHHBCCCCCACA| The apple trees are hung with gold | A |
| And birds are loud in Arcady | A |
| The sheep lie bleating in the fold | A |
| The wild goat runs across the wold | A |
| But yesterday his love he told | A |
| I know he will come back to me | B |
| O rising moon O Lady moon | C |
| Be you my lover's sentinel | D |
| You cannot choose but know him well | E |
| For he is shod with purple shoon | C |
| You cannot choose but know my love | F |
| For he a shepherd's crook doth bear | G |
| And he is soft as any dove | F |
| And brown and curly is his hair | G |
| - | |
| The turtle now has ceased to call | H |
| Upon her crimson footed groom | I |
| The grey wolf prowls about the stall | H |
| The lily's singing seneschal | H |
| Sleeps in the lily bell and all | H |
| The violet hills are lost in gloom | I |
| O risen moon O holy moon | C |
| Stand on the top of Helice | J |
| And if my own true love you see | B |
| Ah if you see the purple shoon | C |
| The hazel crook the lad's brown hair | G |
| The goat skin wrapped about his arm | K |
| Tell him that I am waiting where | G |
| The rushlight glimmers in the Farm | K |
| - | |
| The falling dew is cold and chill | H |
| And no bird sings in Arcady | A |
| The little fauns have left the hill | H |
| Even the tired daffodil | H |
| Has closed its gilded doors and still | H |
| My lover comes not back to me | B |
| False moon False moon O waning moon | C |
| Where is my own true lover gone | C |
| Where are the lips vermilion | C |
| The shepherd's crook the purple shoon | C |
| Why spread that silver pavilion | C |
| Why wear that veil of drifting mist | A |
| Ah thou hast young Endymion | C |
| Thou hast the lips that should be kissed | A |
