| Of the bramble and her fleecy hair | G |
| Like smoke of gold | H |

| The angels muse upon and God | J |

| O little elves with elderflower | G |
| And pimpernel and the white hawthorn | O |
| Sprinkle the journey of her dreams | A |
| And little elves | A |
| - | |
| Call to her magically sweet | I |
| Lest of her very tenderness | A |
| She do forsake this rough brown earth | E |
| And return to us no more | G |
