| It never through my mind had past | C |
| The time would e'er be o'er | D |

| And think 'twill smile again | G |

| That I must look in vain | H |

| If thou wouldst stay e'en as thou art | K |

| And where thy smiles have been | M |
| While e'en thy chill bleak corse I have | N |
| Thou seemest still mine own | O |
| But there I lay thee in thy grave | P |
| And I am now alone | O |
| - | |
| I do not think where'er thou art | K |
| Thou hast forgotten me | B |
| And I perhaps may soothe this heart | K |
| In thinking too of thee | B |
| Yet there was round thee such a dawn | Q |
| Of light ne'er seen before | E |
| As fancy never could have drawn | Q |
| And never can restore | E |
