| The fairy clocks strike their inaudible hour | B |
| In field and woodland and each punctual flower | B |
| Bows at the signal an obedient head | C |
| And hastes to bed | C |
| - | |
| The pale Anemone | D |
| Glides on her way with scarcely a good night | E |
| The Violets tie their purple nightcaps tight | E |
| Hand clasped in hand the dancing Columbines | F |
| In blithesome lines | F |
| - | |
| Drop their last courtesies | G |
| Flit from the scene and couch them for their rest | H |
| The Meadow Lily folds her scarlet vest | H |
| And hides it 'neath the Grasses' lengthening green | I |
| Fair and serene | I |
| - | |
| Her sister Lily floats | J |
| On the blue pond and raises golden eyes | K |
| To court the golden splendor of the skies | K |
| The sudden signal comes and down she goes | L |
| To find repose | L |
| - | |
| In the cool depths below | A |
| A little later and the Asters blue | M |
| Depart in crowds a brave and cheery crew | M |
| While Golden rod still wide awake and gay | N |
| Turns him away | N |
| - | |
| Furls his bright parasol | M |
| And like a little hero meets his fate | O |
| The Gentians very proud to sit up late | O |
| Next follow Every Fern is tucked and set | P |
| 'Neath coverlet | P |
| - | |
| Downy and soft and warm | Q |
| No little seedling voice is heard to grieve | R |
| Or make complaints the folding woods beneath | S |
| No lingerer dares to stay for well they know | A |
| The time to go | A |
| - | |
| Teach us your patience brave | T |
| Dear flowers till we shall dare to part like you | M |
| Willing God's will sure that his clock strikes true | M |
| That his sweet day augurs a sweeter morrow | A |
| With smiles not sorrow | A |
