| We toss d about the flowers | B |
| And wreath d the blushing hours | B |
| Into a posy green and sweet | C |
| I sought the youngest best | D |
| And never was at rest | D |
| Till I had laid them at thy fairy feet | C |
| But the days of childhood they were fleet | C |
| And the blooming sweet briar breath d weather | A |
| When we were boy and girl together | A |
| - | |
| Then we were lad and lass together | A |
| And sought the kiss of night | E |
| Before we felt aright | E |
| Sitting and singing soft and sweet | E |
| The dearest thought of heart | E |
| With thee t was joy to part | E |
| And the greater half was thine as meet | E |
| Still my eyelid s dewy my veins they beat | E |
| At the starry summer evening weather | A |
| When we were lad and lass together | A |
| - | |
| And we are man and wife together | A |
| Although thy breast once bold | E |
| With song be clos d and cold | E |
| Beneath flowers roots and birds light feet | E |
| Yet sit I by thy tomb | F |
| And dissipate the gloom | F |
| With songs of loving faith and sorrow sweet | E |
| And fate and darkling grave kind dreams do cheat | E |
| That while fair life young hope despair and death are | G |
| We re boy and girl and lass and lad and man and wife together | A |
