| And the boughs held twenty one | D |
| Called Melmillo and eighteen | E |
| Left but three to nod and preen | E |

| Softly a strange dance did tread | A |
| Not a note of music she | B |
| Had for echoing company | B |
| All the birds were flown to rest | A |
| In the hollow of her breast | A |
| In the wood thorn elder willow | G |
| Danced alone lone danced Melmillo | G |
