You to the hunchbacked street | B |
Which of us two | C |
Shall the earlier rue | C |
That day we chanced to meet | B |

I with a heart that's sound | D |
You with sick fancies of pain | E |
Which of us two | C |
Would the earlier rue | C |
If we chanced to meet again | F |

I jingle homely lore | G |
While you rhyme is with kiss | H |
Which of us two | C |
Will the earlier rue | C |
The love of the Hoylake Miss | H |

Not I the first to go | I |
Nor I the first to deceive | J |
Which of us two | C |
Shall the the earliest rue | C |
Our garden of make believe | J |

You were a Chinese god | K |
I an offering fair | L |
As we entered the | M |
Garden of Allah | M |
- | |
To sing our holy prayer | L |
Entered with hearts bowed low | I |
Yet I heard a voice that cried | N |
For he is the god of the | M |
Sacrifice | O |
You are the crucified | N |
- | |
It was all make believe | J |
A foolish game of play | P |
Our garden of Allah | M |
A drawing room | Q |
Our Chinese god of clay | P |

Strings of bruises for pearls | R |
Tears for forget me nots | S |
And a deadly pain | E |
Of the sickening shame | T |
Watching the fading spots | S |

As quickly they faded | U |
The heart of me faded as well | V |
Until nothing is left | W |
Of my garden | X |
But a soul sunk to hell | V |

Hail | Y |
Poet prend ton lute Je disparaire | L |
No more together we'll enter the | M |
Enchanted garden of make believe | J |
Nor my sad soul listen while thine deceive | J |
No more you'll be the God of Sacrifice | O |
Nor I the crucified | N |

Ah Garden of Allah how bitter sweet | B |
Thy fruit Why breakest thou the heart | Z |
Why spoilest thou the soul with notes | A2 |
From thy golden lute | B2 |
Lo our garden a common room | Q |
Our Chinese god burnt clay and | C2 |
The singing of verses a funeral hymn | D2 |
That awakes with awakening day | P |

'Twas all such a meaningless play | P |
Poet prend ton lute Je disparaitre | L |
Hail | Y |
- | |
Poet take my hand we'll walk | E2 |
Still a little way | P |
I'll not desert thee at the close of day | P |
I too must pray | P |
A beggar asking alms of passers by | F2 |
Does not refuse a drink to one who's dry | F2 |
That once by him did lie | F2 |
- | |
Poet come close before I leave for aye | F2 |
Take thou my hand we'll walk still | G2 |
A little way | P |
- | |
One garment covered both to keep us warm | H2 |
What harmed the one was't not the other's harm | I2 |
Close clasped one single form | H2 |
Was it not meant of aye | F2 |
Poet take thou my hand we'll still | G2 |
Walk a little way | P |
