| Would I were with thee when the world forgetting | C |
| Thy weary limbs upon the turf are thrown | D |

| And tears have quenched the light within thine eye | F |
| When all seems dark and sad below | G |
| Would I were with thee in thy woe | G |

| Would I were with thee when the day is breaking | C |
| And when the moon hath lit the lonely sea | B |
| Or when in crowds some careless note awaking | C |
| Speaks to thy heart in memory of me | B |
| In joy or pain by sea or shore | H |
| Would I were with thee evermore | H |
