| With white flowers at her head and feet | A |

| In dear delight once rose and fell | C |
| Now wafts her all it has to tell | C |
| And wonders why she sleeps serene | B |
| And yet in life how small a part | D |
| With pretty face and petty heart | D |
| She played And in that form so fair | E |
| There never dwelt a deep desire | F |
| Her bosom never thrilled a fire | F |
| She loved too lightly e'en to tire | F |
| And all my heart was meant for her | F |
| Was there a soul within those eyes | G |
| That seemed to speak my dear surmise | G |
| That with no tears were ever wet | H |
| Through life she laughed her careless way | I |
| She knew not sorrow or dismay | I |
| And I have sorrowed day by day | I |
| While those pale lips are smiling yet | H |
| And so she lies on her small bed | J |
| With white flowers at her feet and head | J |
| And she the fairest flower between | B |

| The peerless face the paltry soul | L |
| But she is perfect now the whole | L |
| Pale blossom of the Might Have Been | M |
