| If but before thee a lifting thought mounted | A |
| Upward thy gaze turned all wistful to view it | B |
| As wouldst thou pursue it | B |
| - | |
| Eyes that so clear saw the wonderful vision | C |
| Looked far away beyond earth's indecision | C |
| Snow white unfolded the pinions that later | D |
| Bore thee to the greater | D |
| - | |
| Speaking or asking thou broughtest me sorrow | E |
| Eyes thine and words thine seemed wanting to borrow | E |
| Clearness more pure and thoughts victory gaining | F |
| Beyond my attaining | F |
| - | |
| When thou wert dancing in all a child's lightness | G |
| Shaking thy locks like a fountain in brightness | G |
| Laughing till heaven was opened in gladness | G |
| Over thy gladness | G |
| - | |
| Or when affliction in sternness had spoken | C |
| So that thy heart in that moment seemed broken | C |
| Far from thy thoughts in thy suffering riven | C |
| Were both earth and heaven | C |
| - | |
| Then oh I saw then thy joy and thy grieving | F |
| Ever the bounds of the mortal were cleaving | F |
| All seems so little where silent we ponder | D |
| But room they have yonder | D |
