| 2 | 2 | The flowers were blooming and gay; | |
| 3 | 3 | I | I heard a fair damsel so sweetly asinging. |
| 4 | 4 | Her cheeks like a blossom in May. | |
| 5 | |||
| 6 | Said I: Pretty maiden and how came you here | ||

| 10 | |||
| 11 | Said I: Pretty maiden shall I go with you | ||
| 12 | To the meadows to gather some may? | ||
| 13 | O no, sir, she said, I would rather refuse, | ||
| 14 | For I fear you would lead me astray. | ||

| 7 | 17 | On the green mossy bank we sat down; | |
| 8 | 18 | And I placed a kiss on her sweet rosy lips, | |
| 9 | 19 | While the small birds were singing around. | |
| 10 | 20 | ||
