| - | |
| BY the rush of the Rhine's broad stream | B |
| Down whose rapid tide | C |
| We sailed as in some sweet dream | B |
| Sitting side by side | C |
| By the depth of its clear blue wave | D |
| And the vine clad hills | E |
| Which gazed on its heart and gave | D |
| Their tribute rills | E |
| - | |
| By the mountains in purple shade | F |
| And those valleys green | G |
| Where our bower of rest was made | F |
| By the world unseen | G |
| By the notes of the wild free bird | H |
| Singing over head | I |
| When nought else in the sunshine stirr'd | H |
| Round our flowery bed | I |
| - | |
| By these and by Love's power divine | J |
| I have no thought but what is thine | J |
| II | A |
| - | |
| By the glance of thy radiant eyes | E |
| Where a glory shone | K |
| That was half of the summer skies | E |
| And half their own | K |
| By the light and yet fervent hold | L |
| Of thy gentle hand | M |
| As the woodbines the flowers enfold | L |
| With their tender band | M |
| - | |
| By thy voice when it breathes in song | N |
| And the echo given | O |
| By lips that to Earth belong | N |
| Float up to Heaven | O |
| By the gleams on thy silken hair | P |
| At the sunset hour | Q |
| And the breadth of they forehead fair | P |
| With its thoughtful power | Q |
| - | |
| By these and by Love's soul divine | J |
| I have no hope but what is thine | J |
| III | A |
| - | |
| By the beauty and stilness round | R |
| When the lake's lone shore | S |
| Scarce echoed the pleasant sound | R |
| Of the distant oar | S |
| By the moonlight which softly fell | T |
| On all objects near | U |
| And thy whisper seemed like a spell | T |
| In thy Lover's ear | V |
| - | |
| By the dreams of the restless past | W |
| And the hope that came | X |
| Like sunshine in shadow cast | W |
| With thy gentle name | X |
| By the beat of thy good true heart | Y |
| Where pure thoughts have birth | Z |
| By thy tears when Fate bade us part | Y |
| And thy smiles of mirth | Z |
| - | |
| By these and by Love's power divine | J |
| I have no hope but what is thine | J |
| IV | D |
| - | |
| By the gloom of those holy fanes | E |
| Where the light stream'd through | A2 |
| Dim orange and purple panes | E |
| On the aisles below | B2 |
| By the ruin'd and roofless wall | C2 |
| Of that castle high | D |
| With its turrets so grey and tall | C2 |
| In the clear blue sky | D |
| - | |
| By beauty because its light | D2 |
| Should thy portion be | E2 |
| And whatever is fair and bright | D2 |
| Seems a part of thee | E2 |
| And by darkness and blank decay | F2 |
| Because they tell | T |
| What the world would be THOU away | F2 |
| Whom I love so well | T |
| - | |
| By these and by Love's power divine | J |
| My heart my soul my life are thine | J |
