Rhyme Scheme: ABABABACACACADADADEB EBEBAFAFAFGHIHIH| Away sad thoughts and teasing | A |
| Perplexities away | B |
| Let other blood go freezing | A |
| We will be wise and gay | B |
| For here is all heart easing | A |
| An ecstasy at play | B |
| The children dancing dancing | A |
| Light upon happy feet | C |
| Both eye and heart entrancing | A |
| Mingle escape and meet | C |
| Come joyous eyed and advancing | A |

| In looping circles they | B |
| Are Music's airy matter | E |
| And their feet move the way | B |
| The raindrops shine and patter | E |
| On tossing flowers in May | B |
| As if those flowers were singing | A |
| For joy of the clean air | F |
| As if you saw them springing | A |
| To dance the breeze so fair | F |
| The lissom bodies swinging | A |
| So light the flung back hair | F |
| And through the mind enchanted | G |
| A happy river goes | H |
| By its own young carol haunted | I |
| And bringing where it flows | H |
| What all in the world has wanted | I |
| And who in this world knows | H |
