| Primrose and violet blow | B |
| And the hawthorn spreads its blossoms fair | A |
| White as the driven snow | B |
| I'll show you where the daisies dot | C |
| With silver stars the lea | D |
| The orchis and forget me not | C |
| The flower of memory | D |
| - | |
| The gold cup and the meadow sweet | E |
| That love the river's side | F |
| The reed that bows the wave to meet | E |
| And sighs above the tide | F |
| The stately flag that gaily rears | G |
| Aloft its yellow crest | H |
| The lily in whose cup the tears | I |
| Of morn delight to rest | H |
| - | |
| The first in Nature's dainty wreath | J |
| We'll cull the brier rose | K |
| The crowfoot and the purple heath | J |
| And pink that sweetly blows | K |
| The hare bell with its airy flowers | L |
| Shall deck my Laura's breast | H |
| Of all that bud in woodland bowers | L |
| I love the hare bell best | H |
| - | |
| I'll pull the bonny golden broom | M |
| To bind thy flowing hair | A |
| For thee the eglantine shall bloom | M |
| Whose fragrance fills the air | A |
| We'll sit beside yon wooded knoll | N |
| To hear the blackbird sing | O |
| And fancy in his merry troll | N |
| The joyous voice of spring | O |
| - | |
| We'll sit and watch the sparkling waves | P |
| That leap exulting by | Q |
| Whilst in the pines above us raves | P |
| The wind's wild minstrelsy | P |
| It swells the echoes of the grove | R |
| 'Tis Nature's plaintive voice | P |
| The winds and waters breathe of love | S |
| And all her tribes rejoice | P |
| - | |
| Whilst youth and hope and health are ours | P |
| We'll rove the verdant glade | T |
| But ah spring's sweetest loveliest flowers | P |
| Like us but bloom to fade | T |
| They spread their beauties to the sun | U |
| And live their little day | V |
| Then droop and wither one by one | U |
| Till all are passed away | V |
| - | |
| Already scattered in the dust | W |
| My first May garland lies | P |
| The hope that owns a mortal trust | W |
| As quickly fades and dies | P |
| Then let us seek a brighter wreath | J |
| Than Nature here has given | U |
| The flowers of virtue bud beneath | J |
| But only bloom in heaven | U |
