Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCDDEFFFAA GGHIHIJJKLKKLL| High above his happy head | A |
| Little leaves of Spring were spread | A |
| And adown the dewy lawn | B |
| Soft as moss the young green grass | C |
| Wooed his footsteps and the dawn | B |
| Paused to watch him pass | C |
| Even so he seemed in truth | D |
| Dancing between Love and Youth | D |
| And his song as gay a thing | E |
| Still before him seemed to go | F |
| Light as any bird awing | F |
| Blithe as jonquils in the Spring | F |
| And we laughed and said Pierrot | A |
| 'Tis Pierrot | A |
| - | |
| Oh he sang Her hands are far | G |
| Sweeter than white roses are | G |
| When I hold them to my lips | H |
| Ere I dare a finer bliss | I |
| Petal like her finger tips | H |
| Tremble 'neath my kiss | I |
| And the mocking of her eyes | J |
| Lures me like blue butterflies | J |
| Falling lifting of their grace | K |
| And her mouth her mouth is wine | L |
| And we laughed as though her face | K |
| Suddenly illumed the place | K |
| And we said 'Tis Columbine | L |
| Columbine | L |
