| O wake Madonna wake | G |
| Even now the purple lake | G |

| In golden threads leaps down from yonder height | H |

| O fly Madonna fly | J |
| Lest day and envy spy | J |
| What only love and night may safely know | K |
| Fly and tread softly dear | L |
| Lest those who hate us hear | M |
| The sounds of thy light footsteps as they go | K |
