| Sir or Madam | B |
| A little girl here sepultured | A |
| Once I flit fluttered like a bird | A |
| Above the grass as now I wave | C |
| In daisy shapes above my grave | C |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| I am one Bachelor Bowring Gent | A |
| Sir or Madam | B |
| In shingled oak my bones were pent | A |
| Hence more than a hundred years I spent | A |
| In my feat of change from a coffin thrall | D |
| To a dancer in green as leaves on a wall | D |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| I these berries of juice and gloss | E |
| Sir or Madam | B |
| Am clean forgotten as Thomas Voss | E |
| Thin urned I have burrowed away from the moss | E |
| That covers my sod and have entered this yew | F |
| And turned to clusters ruddy of view | F |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| The Lady Gertrude proud high bred | A |
| Sir or Madam | B |
| Am I this laurel that shades your head | A |
| Into its veins I have stilly sped | A |
| And made them of me and my leaves now shine | G |
| As did my satins superfine | G |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| I who as innocent withwind climb | H |
| Sir or Madam | B |
| Am one Eve Greensleeves in olden time | H |
| Kissed by men from many a clime | H |
| Beneath sun stars in blaze in breeze | I |
| As now by glowworms and by bees | I |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| I'm old Squire Audeley Grey who grew | F |
| Sir or Madam | H |
| Aweary of life and in scorn withdrew | F |
| Till anon I clambered up anew | F |
| As ivy green when my ache was stayed | A |
| And in that attire I have longtime gayed | A |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
| - | |
| And so they breathe these masks to each | J |
| Sir or Madam | H |
| Who lingers there and their lively speech | J |
| Affords an interpreter much to teach | J |
| As their murmurous accents seem to come | H |
| Thence hitheraround in a radiant hum | H |
| All day cheerily | D |
| All night eerily | D |
