| In the streets with me | B |
| Now that Spring is blowing | C |
| Warm winds from the sea | B |
| Now that trees grow green and tall | D |
| Now the sun shines mellow | E |
| And with moist primroses all | D |
| English lanes are yellow | E |
| - | |
| Little barefoot maiden | A |
| Selling violets blue | F |
| Hast thou ever pictur d | B |
| Where the sweetlings grew | F |
| Oh the warm wild woodland ways | G |
| Deep in dewy grasses | H |
| Where the windblown shadow strays | G |
| Scented as it passes | H |
| - | |
| Pedlar breathing deeply | B |
| Toiling into town | I |
| With the dusty highway | J |
| You are dusky brown | I |
| Hast thou seen by daisied leas | K |
| And by rivers flowing | C |
| Lilac ringlets which the breeze | K |
| Loosens lightly blowing | C |
| - | |
| Out of yonder wagon | A |
| Pleasant hay scents float | L |
| He who drives it carries | K |
| A daisy in his coat | L |
| Oh the English meadows fair | M |
| Far beyond all praises | H |
| Freckled orchids everywhere | M |
| Mid the snow of daisies | K |
| - | |
| Now in busy silence | N |
| Broods the nightingale | O |
| Choosing his love s dwelling | C |
| In a dimpled dale | O |
| Round the leafy bower they raise | G |
| Rose trees wild are springing | C |
| Underneath thro the green haze | G |
| Bounds the brooklet singing | C |
| - | |
| And his love is silent | P |
| As a bird can be | B |
| For the red buds only | B |
| Fill the red rose tree | B |
| Just as buds and blossoms blow | E |
| He ll begin his tune | Q |
| When all is green and roses glow | E |
| Underneath the moon | Q |
| - | |
| Nowhere in the valleys | K |
| Will the wind be still | R |
| Everything is waving | C |
| Wagging at his will | R |
| Blows the milkmaid s kirtle clean | S |
| With her hand press d on it | T |
| Lightly o er the hedge so green | S |
| Blows the ploughboy s bonnet | U |
| - | |
| Oh to be a roaming | C |
| In an English dell | V |
| Every nook is wealthy | B |
| All the world looks well | V |
| Tinted soft the Heavens glow | E |
| Over Earth and Ocean | A |
| Waters flow breezes blow | E |
| All is light and motion | A |
