| 1 | 1 | When first I saw young Molly | |
| 2 | 2 | Stretched beneath the holly | |
| 3 | 3 | Fast asleep, forenint her sheep, one dreamy summer’s day, | |
| 4 | 4 | With daisies laughing round her | |
| 5 | 5 | Hand and foot I bound her, | |
| 6 | 6 | Then kissed her on her blooming cheek, and softly sole away. | |

| 8 | 8 | But as with blushes burning | |
| 9 | 9 | Tip-toe I was turning, | |
| 10 | 10 | From sleep she starts, and on me darts a dreadful lightning ray; | |
| 11 | 11 | My foolish flowery fetters | |
| 12 | 12 | Scornfully she scatters, | |
| 13 | 13 | And like a winter sunbeam she coldly sweeps away. | |
| 14 | 14 | ||
| 15 | But Love, young Love, comes stooping | ||
| 16 | O’er my daisies drooping, | ||
| 17 | And oh! each flower with fairy power the rosy boy renews; | ||
| 18 | Then twines each charming cluster | ||
| 19 | In links of starry luster, | ||
| 20 | And with the chain enchanting my colleen proud pursues. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | And soon I met with Molly | ||
| 23 | Musing Melancholy | ||
| 24 | With downcast eyes and staring sighs, along the meadow bank; | ||
| 25 | And oh! her swelling bosom | ||
| 26 | Was wreathed with daisy blossom, | ||
| 27 | Like stars in summer heaven, as in my arms she sank. |
