| Comes the loving breeze | B |
| Setting nature all a quiver | A |
| Rustling through the trees | B |
| And the brook in rippling measure | A |
| Laughs for very love | C |
| While the poplars in their pleasure | A |
| Wave their arms above | C |
| River river little river | A |
| May thy loving prosper ever | A |

| When he wings away | E |
| Brook and poplar mourn a lover | A |
| Sighing well a day | E |
| Ah the doing and undoing | F |
| That the rogue could tell | G |
| When the breeze is out a wooing | F |
| Who can woo so well | G |
| Pretty brook thy dream is over | A |
| For thy love is but a rover | A |
| Sad the lot of poplar trees | B |
| Courted by the fickle breeze | B |
