| In a fair and sunny forest glade | B |
| O erarched with chesnuts old | C |
| Through which the radiant sunbeams made | B |
| A network of bright gold | C |
| A girl smiled softly to herself | D |
| And dreamed the hours away | E |
| Lulled by the sound of the murmuring brook | F |
| With the summer winds at play | E |
| - | |
| Jewels gleamed not in the tresses fair | G |
| That fell in shining showers | H |
| Naught decked that brow of beauty rare | G |
| But a wreath of forest flowers | H |
| And the violet wore no deeper blue | I |
| Than her own soft downcast eye | J |
| Whilst her bright cheek with the rose s hue | I |
| In loveliness well might vie | J |
| - | |
| But she was too fair to bloom unknown | K |
| By forest or valley side | L |
| And long ere two sunny years had flown | K |
| The girl was a wealthy bride | L |
| Removed to so high and proud a sphere | M |
| That she well at times might deem | N |
| The humble home of her childhood dear | M |
| A fleeting changeful dream | N |
| - | |
| No more her foot sought the grassy glade | B |
| At the break of summer day | E |
| No more neath the chesnut spreading shade | B |
| In reverie sweet she lay | E |
| But in abodes of wealth and pride | L |
| With serious stately mien | O |
| That envy s rancorous tongue defied | L |
| She now alone was seen | O |
| - | |
| But was she happier Who might know | P |
| Wealth fortune on her smiled | Q |
| Yet there were some who whispered low | P |
| That she fates favored child | Q |
| Oft pressed her brow with a weary hand | R |
| In gay and festive hours | H |
| And fain would change her jewell d band | R |
| For a wreath of forest flowers | H |
