| Where'er thou be | B |
| Canst thou divine | A |
| The Love that hungers thus in me | B |
| The secret cell where lone I lie and sigh for thee | B |
| Long long I wait but shall I wait in vain | C |
| How long the Summer waited for the Rose | D |

| Ah say oh say I shall not wait in vain | C |
| How long ah fairest must I keep | E |
| The vigil of unsleeping eyes | F |
| Summer's sighs avail | G |
| Summer that sang himself to sleep | E |
| Summer that piping in a grove all day | H |
| Played out his lovelorn soul upon the nightingale | G |
| Oh songs more blest than mine ah happier sighs | F |

| For at rich midnight all the bells | I |
| Of all the valley lilies rang a tune | J |
| Like moonlight up and down the dells | I |
| And June | J |
| As a naked maiden thro' the shades | I |
| Slipt thro' the woods and took her throne | K |

| By this the east is red and white | L |
| The queen of months is seen and known | K |
| Like flocks of doves that soar and fall | M |
| Like butterflies that hover and alight | L |
| Like tears of ecstasy when tear on tear | N |
| From both wild eyes rains thro' the wreath d hands | I |
| The blush of morning drops upon the lands | I |
| The Rose the Rose is here | O |
| And rapture rapture crowns the passion of the year | P |

| Hark hark | Q |
| Something stirs the arching green | R |
| Thro' the verdurous aisles the doves are cooing | S |
| And the birds of smaller quire | T |
| As fairies that do run and sing | S |
| Before the bridal of their queen | R |
| Flittering and fondly twittering | S |
| Lead thro' the languid air the sick delight of wooing | S |
| - | |
| - | |
| Sure thro' the distance dim I see the morn again | U |
| Leaves that meet and part the hues of dawn disclose | I |
| Has she heard my woes | I |
| Has she pitied all my pain | C |
| 'Tis she 'tis she | B |
| As Summer waited for the Rose | I |
| I shall not wait in vain | C |
| As June soft slipping warms the purple Dark | S |
| So thou slippest thro' the shades to me | B |
| So throbs my throbbing heart its thickening throbs to thee | B |
