| Lighten and lengthen her noonday rest | F |
| Till the heat of the noonday sun is o'er | B |
| Sweet be her slumbers though in my breast | F |
| The pain she has waked may slumber no more | B |
| Breathing soft from the blue profound | D |

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