| And bright shall I render thy destiny | A |
| Thou shalt leave thy cot by the green hillside | B |
| To dwell in a palace home of pride | B |
| Where crowding menials with lowly mien | C |
| Shall attend each wish of their lovely queen | C |
| - | |
| Ah stranger my cot by the green hillside | B |
| Hath more charms for me than thy halls of pride | B |
| If the roof be lowly the moss rose there | D |
| Rich fragrance sheds on the summer air | D |
| And the birds and insects with joyous song | E |
| Are more welcome far than a menial throng | E |
| - | |
| Child tell me not so too fair art thou | F |
| With thy starry eyes and thy queenlike brow | F |
| To dwell in this spot sequestered and lone | G |
| Thy marvelous beauty to all unknown | G |
| And that form which might grace a throne arrayed | H |
| In the lowly garb of a peasant maid | H |
| - | |
| Nay a few short days since didst thou not say | I |
| That I in my rustic kirtle gray | I |
| In thine eyes looked lovelier fairer far | J |
| Than robed in rich state as court ladies are | J |
| And the wreath of violets in my hair | D |
| Pleased thee more than diamond or ruby rare | D |
| - | |
| Beloved if thus coldly thou turn st aside | B |
| From the tempting lures of wealth and pride | B |
| Sure thy woman s heart must some pity own | G |
| For one who breathes for thy self alone | G |
| And who would brave suffering grief and toil | K |
| To win from thy rose lips one shy sweet smile | L |
| - | |
| Ah enough of this thy love may be true | M |
| But I have tried friends who love me too | M |
| And in proud homes governed by fashion s voice | N |
| Thou would st learn to blush for thy lowly choice | N |
| Go seek thee a noble a high born bride | B |
| And leave me my cot by the green hillside | B |
