| In our green Musketaquid | A |
| And for travelled eyes what charms | B |
| Draw us to these meadow farms | B |
| Come and I will show you all | C |
| Makes each day a festival | D |

| Behold the miracle | D |
| Thou saw'st but now the twilight sad | A |

| But rather like its beads of dew | A |
| And dew bent violets fresh and new | A |
| An exhalation of the time | L |
