| Airs that over the bending boughs | F |
| And under the shade of pendent leaves | G |
| Murmur soft like my timid vows | F |
| Or the secret sighs my bosom heaves | G |
| Gently sweeping the grassy ground | C |
| Bearing delight where'er ye blow | D |
| Make in the elms a lulling sound | C |
| While my lady sleeps in the shade below | D |
