| What shall I sing thee Shall I tell | B |
| Of that bright hour remembered well | B |
| As tho' it shone but yesterday | C |
| - | |
| When loitering idly in the ray | C |
| Of a spring sun I heard o'er head | D |
| My name as by some spirit said | D |
| And looking up saw two bright eyes | E |
| Above me from a casement shine | F |
| Dazzling my mind with such surprise | E |
| As they who sail beyond the Line | F |
| Feel when new stars above them rise | E |
| And it was thine the voice that spoke | G |
| Like Ariel's in the mid air then | H |
| And thine the eye whose lustre broke | G |
| Never to be forgot again | H |
| - | |
| What shall I sing thee Shall I weave | I |
| A song of that sweet summer eve | I |
| Summer of which the sunniest part | J |
| Was that we each had in the heart | J |
| When thou and I and one like thee | K |
| In life and beauty to the sound | L |
| Of our own breathless minstrelsy | E |
| Danced till the sunlight faded round | L |
| Ourselves the whole ideal Ball | M |
| Lights music company and all | M |
| - | |
| Oh 'tis not in the languid strain | N |
| Of lute like mine whose day is past | O |
| To call up even a dream again | H |
| Of the fresh light those moments cast | O |
