| May life be for thee one summer's day | A |
| And all that thou wishest and all that thou lov'st | A |
| Come smiling around thy sunny way | A |
| If sorrow e'er this calm should break | B |
| May even thy tears pass off so lightly | C |

| The smiles that follow shine more brightly | C |

| May Time who sheds his blight o'er all | D |
| And daily dooms some joy to death | E |
| O'er thee let years so gently fall | D |
| They shall not crush one flower beneath | F |
| As half in shade and half in sun | G |
| This world along its path advances | H |
| May that side the sun's upon | I |
| Be all that e'er shall meet thy glances | J |
