| List to me O Madelaine | C |
| Now the snows have left the plain | C |
| Which they warmly cloaked | D |
| Come into the forest groves | E |
| Where the notes that Echo loves | F |
| Are from horns evoked | D |
| - | |
| Come where Springtide Madelaine | C |
| Brings a sultry breath from Spain | C |
| Giving buds their hue | G |
| And last night to glad your eye | H |
| Laid the floral marquetry | B |
| Red and gold and blue | G |
| - | |
| Would I were O Madelaine | C |
| As the lamb whose wool you train | C |
| Through your tender hands | I |
| Would I were the bird that whirls | I |
| Round and comes to peck your curls | I |
| Happy in such bands | I |
| - | |
| Were I e'en O Madelaine | C |
| Hermit whom the herd disdain | C |
| In his pious cell | J |
| When your purest lips unfold | K |
| Sins which might to all be told | K |
| As to him you tell | J |
| - | |
| Would I were O Madelaine | C |
| Moth that murmurs 'gainst your pane | C |
| Peering at your rest | L |
| As so like its woolly wing | M |
| Ceasing scarce its fluttering | M |
| Heaves and sinks your breast | L |
| - | |
| If you seek it Madelaine | C |
| You may wish and not in vain | C |
| For a serving host | N |
| And your splendid hall of state | O |
| Shall be envied by the great | O |
| O'er the Jew King's boast | N |
| - | |
| If you name it Madelaine | C |
| Round your head no more you'll train | C |
| Simple marguerites | I |
| No the coronet of peers | I |
| Whom the queen herself oft fears | I |
| And the monarch greets | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| If you wish O Madelaine | C |
| Where you gaze you long shall reign | C |
| For I'm ruler here | B |
| I'm the lord who asks your hand | P |
| If you do not bid me stand | P |
| Loving shepherd here | B |
