| On another day as I sat by the stream | A |
| This maiden paused a while | C |
| Then I made me bold as I told my dream | A |

| Oh the months have fled and the autumn's red | D |
| The maid no more goes by | B |
| For my dream came true and the maid I wed | D |
| And now no more I sigh I sigh | B |
| And now no more I sigh | B |
