| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |
| Oh woman's heart was made | C |
| For minstrel hands alone | D |
| By other fingers play'd | C |
| It yields not half the tone | D |

| To pass but 'twould not do | H |
| While Wit a diamond brought | G |
| Which cut his bright way through | H |

| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |

| The love that seeks a home | I |
| Where wealth or grandeur shines | J |
| Is like the gloomy gnome | I |
| That dwells in dark mines | J |
| But oh the poet's love | K |
| Can boast a brighter sphere | L |
| Its native home's above | K |
| Though woman keeps it here | M |
| Then drink to her who long | A |
| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |
