| The cup of cheer that Beauty draws for me | B |
| Out of those Azure heavens and this green earth | C |

| - | |
| To see the dewdrops thrill the blades of grass | D |
| Makes my whole body shake for here's my choice | E |
| Of either sun or shade and both are green | F |
| A Chaffinch laughs in his melodious voice | E |

| The banks are stormed by Speedwell that blue flower | A |
| So like a little heaven with one star out | G |
| I see an amber lake of buttercups | H |
| And Hawthorn foams the hedges round about | G |
| - | |
| The old Oak tree looks now so green and young | I |
| That even swallows perch awhile and sing | J |
| This is that time of year so sweet and warm | K |
| When bats wait not for stars ere they take wing | J |
| - | |
| As long as I love Beauty I am young | I |
| Am young or old as I love more or less | L |
| When Beauty is not heeded or seems stale | M |
| My life's a cheat let Death end my distress | L |
