| Who count us least of things terrene | B |
| How happy days are made to be | A |
| - | |
| Of such strange tidings what think ye | A |
| O birds in brown that peck and preen | B |
| Men know but little more than we | A |

| When I was borne from yonder tree | A |
| In bonds to them I hoped to glean | B |
| How happy days are made to be | A |

| And want and wailing turned to glee | A |
| Alas despite their mighty mien | B |
| Men know but little more than we | A |

| They cannot change the Frost's decree | A |
| They cannot keep the skies serene | B |
| How happy days are made to be | A |

| Eludes great Man's sagacity | C |
| No less than ours O tribes in treen | B |
| Men know but little more than we | A |
| How happy days are made to be | A |
