| Hound the monarch of the night | B |
| Bearing up their urns of light | B |
| Her majestic path to cheer | H |
| Till the shadows disappear | H |

| Till the bee comes forth to sip | Q |
| Nectar from the flow'rets lip | Q |
| Till the light winged zephyrs wake | R |
| Dancing ripples on the lake | R |

| AH around thee and above | S |
| Tune thy lyre to praiseful mirth | T |
| With all happy things of Earth | T |

| Close the shutters lock the door | Y |
| That will do put out the light | V |
| Toil and trouble all good night | V |
