| Sweet Sirmio thou the very eye | B |
| Of all peninsulas and isles | C |
| That in our lakes of silver lie | B |
| Or sleep enwreathed by Neptune's smiles | C |
| - | |
| How gladly back to thee I fly | B |
| Still doubting asking can it be | D |
| That I have left Bithynia's sky | B |
| And gaze in safety upon thee | D |
| - | |
| Oh what is happier than to find | E |
| Our hearts at ease our perils past | F |
| When anxious long the lightened mind | E |
| Lays down its load of care at last | F |
| - | |
| When tired with toil o'er land and deep | G |
| Again we tread the welcome floor | H |
| Of our own home and sink to sleep | G |
| On the long wished for bed once more | H |
| - | |
| This this it is that pays alone | I |
| The ills of all life's former track | J |
| Shine out my beautiful my own | I |
| Sweet Sirmio greet thy master back | J |
| - | |
| And thou fair Lake whose water quaffs | C |
| The light of heaven like Lydia's sea | C |
| Rejoice rejoice let all that laughs | C |
| Abroad at home laugh out for me | C |
