| For this sylvan cool retreat | A |
| High upon the hill side here | B |
| Where the air is clean and clear | C |
| I have lost the urban ways | D |
| Mine are calm and tranquil days | D |
| Sloping lawns of green are mine | E |
| Clustered treasures of the vine | E |
| Long forgotten plants I know | F |
| Where the best wild berries grow | F |
| Where the greens and grasses sprout | G |
| When the elders blossom out | G |
| Now I am grown weather wise | H |
| With the love of winds and skies | H |
| Mine the song whose soft refrain | I |
| Is the sigh of summer rain | I |
| Seek you where the woods are cool | J |
| Would you know the shady pool | J |
| Where throughout the lazy day | K |
| Speckled beauties drowse or play | K |
| Would you find in rest or peace | L |
| Sorrow's permanent release | L |
| Leave the city grim and gray | K |
| Come with me ah come away | K |
| Do you fear the winter chill | M |
| Deeps of snow upon the hill | M |
| 'Tis a mantle kind and warm | N |
| Shielding tender shoots from harm | O |
| Do you dread the ice clad streams | P |
| They are mirrors for your dreams | P |
| Here's a rouse when summer's past | Q |
| To the raging winter's blast | Q |
| Let him roar and let him rout | G |
| We are armored for the bout | G |
| How the logs are glowing see | R |
| Who sings louder they or he | R |
| Could the city be more gay | K |
| Burn your bridges Come away | K |
