Wave and wind and willow tree | B |
Know not aught of poets' rhyming | D |
Yet they make a silver chiming | D |
Sunward climbing minstrelsy | B |
Soother than all songs that be | B |

Blows the wind it knows not why | A |
Flows the wave it knows not whither | E |
And the willow swayeth hither | E |
Swayeth thither witlessly | F |
Nothing knowing save to sigh | A |
