Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEE GHGHIJIJEKEK ALALEMEMENEN EOEOPQQQERER| Blithe dreams arise to greet us | A |
| And life feels clean and new | B |
| For the old love comes to meet us | A |
| In the dawning and the dew | B |
| O'erblown with sunny shadows | C |
| O'ersped with winds at play | D |
| The woodlands and the meadows | C |
| Are keeping holiday | D |
| Wild foals are scampering neighing | E |
| Brave merles their hautboys blow | F |
| Come let us go a maying | E |
| As in the Long Ago | E |
| - | |
| Here we but peak and dwindle | G |
| The clank of chain and crane | H |
| The whir of crank and spindle | G |
| Bewilder heart and brain | H |
| The ends of our endeavour | I |
| Are merely wealth and fame | J |
| Yet in the still Forever | I |
| We're one and all the same | J |
| Delaying still delaying | E |
| We watch the fading west | K |
| Come let us go a maying | E |
| Nor fear to take the best | K |
| - | |
| Yet beautiful and spacious | A |
| The wise old world appears | L |
| Yet frank and fair and gracious | A |
| Outlaugh the jocund years | L |
| Our arguments disputing | E |
| The universal Pan | M |
| Still wanders fluting fluting | E |
| Fluting to maid and man | M |
| Our weary well a waying | E |
| His music cannot still | N |
| Come let us go a maying | E |
| And pipe with him our fill | N |
| - | |
| When wanton winds are flowing | E |
| Among the gladdening glass | O |
| Where hawthorn brakes are blowing | E |
| And meadow perfumes pass | O |
| Where morning's grace is greenest | P |
| And fullest noon's of pride | Q |
| Where sunset spreads serenest | Q |
| And sacred night's most wide | Q |
| Where nests are swaying swaying | E |
| And spring's fresh voices call | R |
| Come let us go a maying | E |
| And bless the God of all | R |
