Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHAHAAIA AIIIJEFE FKBKLIAI FMIMNOPO| Oh the day has set me dreaming | A |
| In a strange half solemn way | B |
| Of the feelings I experienced | C |
| On another long past day | B |
| Of the way my heart made music | D |
| When the buds began to blow | E |
| And o' little Lucy Landman | F |
| Whom I loved long years ago | E |
| - | |
| It 's in spring the poet tells us | G |
| That we turn to thoughts of love | H |
| And our hearts go out a wooing | A |
| With the lapwing and the dove | H |
| But whene'er the soul goes seeking | A |
| Its twin soul upon the wing | A |
| I 've a notion backed by mem'ry | I |
| That it's love that makes the spring | A |
| - | |
| I have heard a robin singing | A |
| When the boughs were brown and bare | I |
| And the chilling hand of winter | I |
| Scattered jewels through the air | I |
| And in spite of dates and seasons | J |
| It was always spring I know | E |
| When I loved Lucy Landman | F |
| In the days of long ago | E |
| - | |
| Ah my little Lucy Landman | F |
| I remember you as well | K |
| As if 't were only yesterday | B |
| I strove your thoughts to tell | K |
| When I tilted back your bonnet | L |
| Looked into your eyes so true | I |
| Just to see if you were loving | A |
| Me as I was loving you | I |
| - | |
| Ah my little Lucy Landman | F |
| It is true it was denied | M |
| You should see a fuller summer | I |
| And an autumn by my side | M |
| But the glance of love's sweet sunlight | N |
| Which your eyes that morning gave | O |
| Has kept spring within my bosom | P |
| Though you lie within the grave | O |
