| Perplexities away | B |
| Let other blood go freezing | 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 |
