| | | IN yon hollow Damon lies, | |
| Lost in slumber deep. | |
| (Hush, hush, ye shepherd girls, | |
| Break not his sleep.) | |
| |
| Phyllis passes tiptoe by; | 5 |
| Whither is she hieing? | |
| (Peep, peep, ye shepherd girls, | |
| He for her is dying.) | |
| |
| Now she pauses, now she bends, | |
| Ah, she kiss’d him purely. | 10 |
| (Look away, ye shepherd girls, | |
| Frown, frown demurely.) | |
| |
| See he clips her in his arms, | |
| She who was the proudest. | |
| (Laugh, laugh, ye shepherd girls, | 15 |
| Laugh, laugh your loudest.) | | | | |
