| The west wind blowing | B |
| The spring tide flowing | B |
| Summon thee hence away | A |
| Didst thou not hear yon soaring swallow sing | B |
| Chirp chirp in every note he seemed to say | A |
| 'Tis Spring 'tis Spring | B |
| Up boy away | A |
| Who'd stay on land to day | A |
| The very flowers | C |
| Would from their bowers | C |
| Delight to wing away | A |

| Leave languid youths to pine | D |
| On silken pillows | E |
| But be the billows | E |
| Of the great deep thine | D |
| Hark to the sail the breeze sings Let us fly | F |
| While soft the sail replying to the breeze | G |
| Says with a yielding sigh | F |
| Yes where you please | G |
| Up boy the wind the ray | A |
| The blue sky o'er thee | H |
| The deep before thee | H |
| All cry aloud Away | A |
