| 'Twas eve's soft hour and bright above | F |

| Thus said and sung to me | D |
| Should any ask what Leila loves | C |

| O'er hill and dale I roam | G |
| My sister Rachel far more fair | B |
| Sits lone and mute at home | G |
| Before her glass untiring | E |
| With thoughts that never stray | B |
| Her own bright eyes admiring | E |
| She sits the live long day | B |
| While I oh seldom even a look | E |
| Of self salutes my eye | H |
| My only glass the limpid brook | E |
| That shines and passes by | H |
