| Oh were I the leaf that the wind of the West | C |
| His course through the forest uncaring | D |
| To sleep on the gale or the wave's placid breast | C |
| In a pendulous cradle is bearing | D |
| - | |
| All fresh with the morn's balmy kiss would I haste | E |
| As the dewdrops upon me were glancing | D |
| When Aurora sets out on the roseate waste | E |
| And round her the breezes are dancing | D |
| - | |
| On the pinions of air I would fly I would rush | F |
| Thro' the glens and the valleys to quiver | B |
| Past the mountain ravine past the grove's dreamy hush | F |
| And the murmuring fall of the river | B |
| - | |
| By the darkening hollow and bramble bush lane | G |
| To catch the sweet breath of the roses | H |
| Past the land would I speed where the sand driven plain | G |
| 'Neath the heat of the noonday reposes | H |
| - | |
| Past the rocks that uprear their tall forms to the sky | I |
| Whence the storm fiend his anger is pouring | D |
| Past lakes that lie dead tho' the tempest roll nigh | I |
| And the turbulent whirlwind be roaring | D |
| - | |
| On on would I fly till a charm stopped my way | J |
| A charm that would lead to the bower | B |
| Where the daughter of Araby sings to the day | J |
| At the dawn and the vesper hour | B |
| - | |
| Then hovering down on her brow would I light | K |
| 'Midst her golden tresses entwining | D |
| That gleam like the corn when the fields are bright | K |
| And the sunbeams upon it shining | D |
| - | |
| A single frail gem on her beautiful head | L |
| I should sit in the golden glory | M |
| And prouder I'd be than the diadem spread | L |
| Round the brow of kings famous in story | M |
