- Version 1
- There is a morn by men unseen -
- Whose maids opon remoter green
- Keep their seraphic May -
- And all day long, with dance and game,
- And gambo! I may never name -
- Employ their holiday.
- Here to light measure, move the feet
- Which walk no more the village street -
- Nor by the wood are found -
- Here are the birds that sought the sun
- When last year's distaff idle hung
- And summer's brows were bound.
- Ne'er saw I such a wondrous scene -
- Ne'er such a ring on such a green -
- Nor so serene array -
- As if the stars some summer night
- Should swing their cups of Chrysolite -
- And revel till the day -
- Like thee to dance - like thee to sing -
- People opon that mystic green -
- I ask, each new May morn.
- I wait thy far - fantastic bells -
- Announcing me in other dells -
- Unto the different dawn!

- Version 2
- There is a morn by men unseen --
- Whose maids upon remoter green
- Keep their Seraphic May --
- And all day long, with dance and game,
- And gambol I may never name --
- Employ their holiday.
- Here to light measure, move the feet
- Which walk no more the village street --
- Nor by the wood are found --
- Here are the birds that sought the sun
- When last year's distaff idle hung
- And summer's brows were bound.
- Ne'er saw I such a wondrous scene --
- Ne'er such a ring on such a green --
- Nor so serene array --
- As if the stars some summer night
- Should swing their cups of Chrysolite --
- And revel till the day --
- Like thee to dance -- like thee to sing --
- People upon the mystic green --
- I ask, each new May Morn.
- I wait thy far, fantastic bells --
- Unto the different dawn!
