| A breaking heart in a broken breath | B |
| A hopeless cry o'er her heart hope's death | B |
| Can words catch the chords of the winds that wail | C |
| When love's last lily lies dead in the vale | C |
| Let her alone | D |
| Under the rod | A |
| With the infinite moan | D |
| Of her soul for God | A |
| Ah song you may echo the sound of pain | E |
| But you never may shrine | F |
| In verse or line | F |
| The pang of the heart that breaks in twain | E |
| - | |
| Waileth a woman O my God | A |
| Wind driven waves with no hearts that ache | G |
| Why do your passionate pulses throb | H |
| No lips that speak have ye souls that sob | H |
| We carry the cross ye wear the crest | I |
| We have our God and ye your shore | J |
| Whither ye rush in the storm to rest | I |
| We have the havens of holy prayer | K |
| And we have a hope have ye despair | K |
| For storm rocked waves ye break evermore | J |
| Adown the shores and along the years | L |
| In the whitest foam of the saddest tears | M |
| And we as ye O waves gray waves | N |
| Drift over a sea more deep and wide | O |
| For we have sorrow and we have death | B |
| And ye have only the tempest's breath | B |
| But we have God when heart oppressed | I |
| As a calm and beautiful shore of rest | I |
| - | |
| O waves sad waves how you flowed between | P |
| The crownless Prince and the exiled Queen | P |
| - | |
| Waileth a woman O my God | A |
| Her hopes are withered her heart is crushed | Q |
| For the love of her love is cold and dead | R |
| The joy of her joy hath forever fled | R |
| A starless and pitiless night hath rushed | Q |
| On the light of her life and far away | S |
| In Afric wild lies her poor dead child | T |
| Lies the heart of her heart let her alone | D |
| Under the rod | A |
| With her infinite moan | D |
| O my God | A |
| He was beautiful pure and brave | U |
| The brightest grace | V |
| Of a royal race | V |
| Only his throne is but a grave | U |
| Is there fate in fame | W |
| Is there doom in names | X |
| Ah what did the cruel Zulu spears | L |
| Care for the prince or his mother's tears | M |
| What did the Zulu's ruthless lance | Y |
| Care for the hope of the future France | Y |
| - | |
| Crieth the Empress O my son | Z |
| He was her own and her only one | Z |
| She had nothing to give him but her love | A2 |
| 'Twas kingdom enough on earth above | A2 |
| She gave him an infinite faith in God | A |
| Let her cry her cry | B2 |
| Over her own and only one | Z |
| All the glory is gone is gone | C2 |
| Into her broken hearted sigh | B2 |
| - | |
| Moaneth a mother O my child | T |
| And who can sound that depth of woe | D2 |
| Homeless throneless crownless now | E2 |
| She bows her sorrow wreathed brow | E2 |
| So fame and all its grandeurs go | D2 |
| Let her alone | D |
| Beneath the rod | A |
| With her infinite moan | D |
| O my God | A |
