| We work here together | B |
| In blast and breeze | C |
| He fills the earth in | D |
| I hold the trees | C |
| - | |
| He does not notice | E |
| That what I do | F |
| Keeps me from moving | G |
| And chills me through | F |
| - | |
| He has seen one fairer | B |
| I feel by his eye | A |
| Which skims me as though | H |
| I were not by | A |
| - | |
| And since she passed here | I |
| He scarce has known | J |
| But that the woodland | K |
| Holds him alone | J |
| - | |
| I have worked here with him | L |
| Since morning shine | M |
| He busy with his thoughts | N |
| And I with mine | M |
| - | |
| I have helped him so many | O |
| So many days | P |
| But never win any | O |
| Small word of praise | P |

| Shall I not sigh to him | L |
| That I work on | Q |

| From the bundle at hand here | I |
| I take each tree | O |
| And set it to stand here | I |
| Always to be | O |
| When in a second | S |
| As if from fear | T |
| Of Life unreckoned | S |
| Beginning here | I |
| It starts a sighing | G |
| Through day and night | S |
| Though while there lying | G |
| 'Twas voiceless quite | S |
| - | |
| It will sigh in the morning | G |
| Will sigh at noon | U |
| At the winter's warning | G |
| In wafts of June | U |
| Grieving that never | B |
| Kind Fate decreed | S |
| It should for ever | B |
| Remain a seed | S |
| And shun the welter | B |
| Of things without | S |
| Unneeding shelter | B |
| From storm and drought | S |
| - | |
| Thus all unknowing | G |
| For whom or what | S |
| We set it growing | G |
| In this bleak spot | S |
| It still will grieve here | I |
| Throughout its time | V |
| Unable to leave here | I |
| Or change its clime | V |
| Or tell the story | O |
| Of us to day | S |
| When halt and hoary | O |
| We pass away | S |
