| Both deep and calm and brimming with pure love | B |
| And in each one like to an April day | C |
| Truth smiled and wept while Courage wound his horn | D |
| Dispatching echoes that are whispering still | E |
| Through all the vacant chambers of our souls | F |
| While Sorrow sat with drooped and aimless wing | G |
| Within the solitary fane of thought | H |
| We wished some warlike Joshua were there | I |
| To make the sun stand still or to put back | J |
| The dial to the brighter side of time | K |
| A cloud hung over Couchiching a cloud | L |
| Eclipsed the merry sunshine of our hearts | M |
| We needed no philosopher to teach | N |
| That laughter is not always born of joy | O |
| All's for the best the fair Eliza said | P |
| And we derived new courage from her lips | Q |
| That spake the maxim of her trusting heart | R |
| We even smiled at some portentous sign | S |
| That signified well if it turn out true | T |
| Then I'll believe it Heaven works in signs | U |
| More parting words more lingering farewells | A |
| Pressure of hands and thrilling touch of lips | Q |
| A waving of white handkerchiefs and Love | B |
| Grew prayerful and knelt down and wept | V |
| His scattered rosary of human hearts | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| Soon looking back we saw where Ramah lay | C |
| Cold wan and cheerless as the race it holds | W |
| And as we neared the Lake the sun came forth | X |
| As tardily as if the sluggard day | C |
| Had slept more soundly for the piping storm | Y |
| That veering round had flung its challenge out | Z |
| In sullen menace to the western sky | A2 |
| Now black with clouds A flash a muffled roll | B2 |
| Of elemental passion broke the spell | C2 |
| And down on Simcoe fell the sudden rain | D2 |
| Veiling the gloomy landscape from our sight | E2 |
| Throughout the changeful day alternate cloud | L |
| And sunshine left their traces on our hearts | M |
| Until the evening reared its dreamy piles | F2 |
| Of cloud built ch teaux steeped in gorgeous tints | G2 |
| That from celestial censers are outpoured | L |
| When the grand miracle of sunset draws | H2 |
| Our souls all yearning with a joy divine | S |
| To share the fleeting glory ere it goes | I2 |
| To glean new splendors for the ruby morn | D |
| 'Tis ever thus with true impassioned love | B |
| Love's sun like that of day may set and set | L |
| It hath as bright a rising in the morn | D |
| True love has no gray hairs his golden looks | J2 |
| Can never whiten with the snows of time | K |
| Sorrow lies drear on many a youthful heart | L |
| Like snow upon the evergreens but love | B |
| Can gather sweetest honey by the way | C |
| E'en from the carcass of some prostrate grief | K2 |
| We have been spoiled with blessings Though the world | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Holds nothing dearer than the hope that's fled | L |
| God ever opens up new founts of bliss | L2 |
| Spiritual Bethsaidas where the soul | B2 |
| Can wash the earth stains from its fevered loins | L2 |
| We carve our sorrows on the face of joy | O |
| Reversing the true image we are weak | M2 |
| Where strength is needed most and most is given | N2 |
| - | |
| Thus musing as they chatted in the train | D2 |
| The whistle broke my reverie as one | N2 |
| Might be awakened from a truthful dream | O2 |
| The city gas lights flashed into our eyes | L2 |
| And we half shrinking from the glare and din | P2 |
| Thought but of two more partings on the morn | D |
| When Love should be enfettered hand and foot | L |
| For the long aeon of a human year | Q2 |
