{{Vs|1}} The grass is wet with shining dews,
Their silver bells hang on each tree;
Their silver bells hang on each tree;
While opening flowers and bursting bud  
While opening flowers and bursting bud
Breathe incense forth unceasingly;  
Breathe incense forth unceasingly;
The mavis pipes in greenwood shade,  
The mavis pipes in greenwood shade,
The throstle glads the spreading thorn,  
The throstle glads the spreading thorn,
And merrily the blithesome lark  
And merrily the blithesome lark
Salutes the rosy face of morn.  
Salutes the rosy face of morn.
'Tis early prime,  
'Tis early prime,
And hark, hark, hark,  
And hark, hark, hark,
His merry chime,  
His merry chime,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrup, chirrup, he heralds in  
Chirrup, chirrup, he heralds in
The jolly sun with matin hymn.
The jolly sun with matin hymn.

{{Vs|2}} Come, come, O come, and may-dews shake,
In pail-fuls from each drooping bough;  
In pail-fuls from each drooping bough;

They give fresh lustre to the bloom
That breaks upon thy young cheek now.  
That breaks upon thy young cheek now.
O'er hill and dale, o'er waste and wood,
O'er hill and dale, o'er waste and wood,
Aurora's smiles are streaming free;
Aurora's smiles are streaming free;
With earth it is brave holiday,  
With earth it is brave holiday,
In heaven it looks high jubilee:  
In heaven it looks high jubilee:
And it is right,  
And it is right,
For mark, mark, mark,  
For mark, mark, mark,
How, bathed in light,  
How, bathed in light,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrup, chirrup, he upward flies,  
Chirrup, chirrup, he upward flies,
Like holy thoughts to cloudless skies.
Like holy thoughts to cloudless skies.

1  The grass is wet with shining dews,
Their silver bells hang on each tree;
While opening flowers and bursting bud
Breathe incense forth unceasingly;
The mavis pipes in greenwood shade,
The throstle glads the spreading thorn,
And merrily the blithesome lark
Salutes the rosy face of morn.
'Tis early prime,
And hark, hark, hark,
His merry chime,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrup, chirrup, he heralds in
The jolly sun with matin hymn.

2  Come, come, O come, and may-dews shake,
In pail-fuls from each drooping bough;
They give fresh lustre to the bloom
That breaks upon thy young cheek now.
O'er hill and dale, o'er waste and wood,
Aurora's smiles are streaming free;
With earth it is brave holiday,
In heaven it looks high jubilee:
And it is right,
For mark, mark, mark,
How, bathed in light,
Chirrups the lark,
Chirrup, chirrup, he upward flies,
Like holy thoughts to cloudless skies.
