| When Spring brings back blue days and fair | C |

| It may be he shall take my hand | D |
| And lead me into his dark land | D |
| And close my eyes and quench my breath | A |
| It may be I shall pass him still | E |

| God knows 'twere better to be deep | G |
| Pillowed in silk and scented down | H |
| Where Love throbs out in blissful sleep | G |
| Pulse nigh to pulse and breath to breath | A |
| Where hushed awakenings are dear | F |
| But I've a rendezvous with Death | A |
| At midnight in some flaming town | H |
| When Spring trips north again this year | F |
| And I to my pledged word am true | I |
| I shall not fail that rendezvous | I |
