Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHG IJIJKDKD| ROVER awake the grey Cock crows | A |
| Come shake your coat and go with me | B |
| High in the East the green Hill glows | A |
| And glory crowns our shelt'ring Tree | B |
| The Sheep expect us at the fold | C |
| My faithful Dog let's haste away | D |
| And in his earliest beams behold | C |
| And hail the source of cheerful day | D |
| - | |
| Half his broad orb o'erlooks the Hill | E |
| And darting down the Valley flies | F |
| At every casement welcome still | E |
| The golden summons of the skies | F |
| Go fetch my Staff and o'er the dews | G |
| Let Echo waft thy gladsome voice | H |
| Shall we a cheerful note refuse | G |
| When rising Morn proclaims 'Rejoice ' | - |
| - | |
| Now then we'll start and thus I'll sling | I |
| Our store a trivial load to bear | J |
| Yet ere night comes should hunger sting | I |
| I'll not encroach on Rover's share | J |
| The fresh breeze bears its sweets along | K |
| The Lark but chides us while we stay | D |
| Soon shall the Vale repeat my song | K |
| Go brush before away away | D |
