Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEFEGFHF IDJDKLML NOOOOOPO LQRQSALA| O say dear sister are you coming | A |
| Forth to the fields with me | B |
| The very air is gaily ringing | A |
| With hum of bird and bee | B |
| And crowds of swallows now are chirping | A |
| Up in our ancient thorn | C |
| And earth and air are both rejoicing | A |
| On this gay summer morn | C |
| - | |
| Shall we hie unto the streamlet s side | D |
| To seek our little boat | E |
| And plying our oars with right good will | F |
| Over its bright waves float | E |
| Or shall we loll on the grassy bank | G |
| For hours dreamy still | F |
| To draw from its depths some silv ry prize | H |
| Reward of angler s skill | F |
| - | |
| I do not talk of the tempting game | I |
| The forest covers hide | D |
| So dear to the sportsman plovers shy | J |
| Pheasants with eye of pride | D |
| For I know your timid nature shrinks | K |
| From flash of fire arm bright | L |
| And the birds themselves hear not the din | M |
| With more intense affright | L |
| - | |
| But we may tread the cool wood s paths | N |
| And wander there for hours | O |
| Discovering hidden fairy dells | O |
| Be gemmed with lovely flowers | O |
| And while you weave them in varied wreaths | O |
| In oaks of giant size | O |
| I ll seek for nests of cunning shape | P |
| I too must win some prize | O |
| - | |
| Then sister listen squander not | L |
| These hours of precious time | Q |
| With stupid book or useless work | R |
| It is indeed a crime | Q |
| But haste with me to the wood lands green | S |
| Where forest warblers sing | A |
| And bees are humming like them too | L |
| We must be on the wing | A |
