| Thou in these meadows while thy skies are blue | B |
| And while thy joys are new to thee like wine | A |
| Chasest mad butterflies as children do | B |
| And lo thou turnest from them to repine | A |
| Because it was not love thou didst pursue | B |

| O child of Hope Thou sighest thy sad sighs | C |
| Mourning for that which is not nor can be | D |
| Where is the noon can match with thy sunrise | C |
| Whose is the heart shall win thy constancy | D |
| Thou with thy foolish loves mad butterflies | C |
| What dost thou ask of my sad heart and me | D |

| O child of Love begotten for man's bliss | E |
| O child of Pleasure nursed for thy own pain | A |
| Needs must I weep the day of thy distress | F |
| The fate that brushes at thy arm in vain | A |
| Thy skies of blue thy broken happiness | G |
| The hopes thou chasest never to attain | A |
