| Where my heart is wherever that may be | G |
| Might I but follow | H |
| If you fly thither over heath and lea | G |
| O honey seeking bee | G |

| Alas that we must dwell my heart and I | - |
| So far asunder | I |
| Hours wax to days and days and days creep by | - |
| I watch with wistful eye | - |
| I wait and wonder | I |
| When will that day draw nigh that hour draw nigh | - |

| Not yesterday and not I think to day | E |
| Perhaps to morrow | H |
| Day after day 'to morrow' thus I say | E |
| I watched so yesterday | E |
| In hope and sorrow | H |
| Again to day I watch the accustomed way | E |
