Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFB DGHEBEFG IJKJLMNJNJNJ OPQFRRRP| First came the primrose | A |
| On the bank high | B |
| Like a maiden looking forth | C |
| From the window of a tower | D |
| When the battle rolls below | E |
| So look'd she | F |
| And saw the storms go by | B |
| - | |
| Then came the wind flower | D |
| In the valley left behind | G |
| As a wounded maiden pale | H |
| With purple streaks of woe | E |
| When the battle has roll'd by | B |
| Wanders to and fro | E |
| So totter'd she | F |
| Dishevell'd in the wind | G |
| - | |
| Then came the daisies | I |
| On the first of May | J |
| Like a banner'd show's advance | K |
| While the crowd runs by the way | J |
| With ten thousand flowers about them they came | L |
| trooping through the fields | M |
| As a happy people come | N |
| So came they | J |
| As a happy people come | N |
| When the war has roll'd away | J |
| With dance and tabor pipe and drum | N |
| And all make holiday | J |
| - | |
| Then came the cowslip | O |
| Like a dancer in the fair | P |
| She spread her little mat of green | Q |
| And on it danced she | F |
| With a fillet bound about her brow | R |
| A fillet round her happy brow | R |
| A golden fillet round her brow | R |
| And rubies in her hair | P |
