There are three sets of lyrics to this tune in Lowell Mason & George James Webb, eds., The Song-Book of the School-Room (Boston: Wilkins, Carter, & Co., 1850). One is titled "Boat Song" (pp. 30-31), which is the same as "Lightly Row." The other two (pp. 55 and 101 respectively) are as follows:

       SMILING MAY
      Tune,--"Boat Song," p. 30.

         1
      Smiling May,
      Comes in play,
Making all things fresh and gay;
      "From the hall
      Come ye all;"
   Thus, the flowers call.
Fragrant is the flowery vale,
Sparkles now the dewy dale,
      Music floats,
      Cheering notes,
   Music sweetly floats.

         2
      As we stray,
      Breezes play,
Through the meadow's rich array.
      All is bright,
      Cheerful sight,
   After winter's night.
Shadows now is quivering glance;
On the silvery fountain dance;
      Insects bright,
      Sail in light,
   Cheerful, happy sight.

      FRESH AND FAIR, ALL THINGS ARE
       Tune,--"Boat Song," p. 30.

         1
Fresh and fair, all things are,
Flowery fragrance fills the air:
Fresh and fair, all things are,
   Fragrance fills the air.
Merrily our little boat,
With the breeze doth gently float.
Fresh and fair, all things are,
   Fragrance fills the air.

       2
Bowers green, now are seen,
Reddest roses peep between.
Bowers green, now are seen,
   Roses peep between.
Swelling over hill and dale,
Music floats upon the gale.
Bowers green, now are seen,
   Roses peep between.

       3
Music's note, still doth float,
While we row our little boat:
Music's note, still doth float,
   While we row our little boat.
Birds are wheeling in the air,
All we see is bright and fair.
Music's note, still doth float,
   Sailing in our boat.

       4
Happy we, full of glee,
Sailing on the wavy sea:
Happy we, full of glee,
   Sailing on the sea.
Luna sheds he softest light,
Stars are sparkling, twinkling bright.
Happy we, full of glee,
   Sailing on the sea.
