| When wilt thou learn to wear the garb of age | B |
| World with thy covering of yellow flowers | C |
| Hast thou forgot what generations sprung | A |
| Out of thy loins and loved thee and are gone | D |
| Hast thou no place in all their heritage | E |
| Where thou dost only weep that I may come | F |
| Nor fear the mockery of thy yellow flowers | C |
| O world in very truth thou art too young | A |
| The heroic wealth of passionate emprize | C |
| Built thee fair cities for thy naked plains | C |
| How hast thou set thy summer growth among | A |
| The broken stones which were their palaces | C |
| Hast thou forgot the darkness where he lies | C |
| Who made thee beautiful or have thy bees | C |
| Found out his grave to build their honeycombs | C |
| - | |
| O world in very truth thou art too young | A |
| They gave thee love who measured out thy skies | C |
| And when they found for thee another star | G |
| Who made a festival and straightway hung | A |
| The jewel on thy neck O merry world | H |
| Hast thou forgot the glory of those eyes | C |
| Which first look'd love in thine Thou hast not furl'd | H |
| One banner of thy bridal car for them | I |
| O world in very truth thou art too young | A |
| There was a voice which sang about thy spring | J |
| Till winter froze the sweetness of his lips | C |
| And lo the worms had hardly left his tongue | A |
| Before thy nightingales were come again | K |
| O world what courage hast thou thus to sing | J |
| Say has thy merriment no secret pain | L |
| No sudden weariness that thou art young | A |
