Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFBBDDGG GGDDAADD AABBCCDD| Come in the evening or come in the morning | A |
| Come when you 're look'd for or come without warning | A |
| Kisses and welcome you 'll find here before you | B |
| And the oftener you come here the more I 'll adore you | B |
| Light is my heart since the day we were plighted | C |
| Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted | C |
| The green of the trees looks far greener than ever | D |
| And the linnets are singing True lovers don't sever | D |
| - | |
| I 'll pull you sweet flowers to wear if you choose them | E |
| Or after you've kiss'd them they 'll lie on my bosom | F |
| I 'll fetch from the mountain its breeze to inspire you | B |
| I 'll fetch from my fancy a tale that won't tire you | B |
| Oh your step's like the rain to the summer vex'd farmer | D |
| Or sabre and shield to a knight without armor | D |
| I 'll sing you sweet songs till the stars rise above me | G |
| Then wandering I 'll wish you in silence to love me | G |
| - | |
| We 'll look through the trees at the cliff and the eyrie | G |
| We 'll tread round the rath on the track of the fairy | G |
| We 'll look on the stars and we 'll list to the river | D |
| Till you ask of your darling what gift you can give her | D |
| Oh she 'll whisper you Love as unchangeably beaming | A |
| And trust when in secret most tunefully streaming | A |
| Till the starlight of heaven above us shall quiver | D |
| As our souls flow in one down eternity's river | D |
| - | |
| So come in the evening or come in the morning | A |
| Come when you 're looked for or come without warning | A |
| Kisses and welcome you 'll find here before you | B |
| And the oftener you come here the more I 'll adore you | B |
| Light is my heart since the day we were plighted | C |
| Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted | C |
| The green of the trees looks far greener than ever | D |
| And the linnets are singing True lovers don't sever | D |
