We met hand to hand | B |
We clasped hands close and fast | C |
As close as oak and ivy stand | B |
But it is past | C |
Come day come night day comes at last | C |
- | |
We loosed hand from hand | B |
We parted face from face | D |
Each went his way to his own land | B |
At his own pace | D |
Each went to fill his separate place | D |
- | |
If we should meet one day | E |
If both should not forget | F |
We shall clasp hands the accustomed way | E |
As when we met | F |
So long ago as I remember yet | F |

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 |
O careless swallow | H |
Bid some for whom I watch keep watch for me | G |
- | |
Alas that we must dwell my heart and I | A |
So far asunder | I |
Hours wax to days and days and days creep by | A |
I watch with wistful eye | A |
I wait and wonder | I |
When will that day draw nigh that hour draw nigh | A |
- | |
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 |
