| Once again | B |
| In the strange and latter summers | C |

| You not with kisses | C |
| Of the days aforetime knowing | F |
| These would fall | D |
| Vain as those of phantoms blowing | F |
| Nightward to the last abysses | C |
| - | |
| Faint perfume | G |

| From the tomb | G |
| Love shall rise | C |
| Mutely in a specter's fashion | J |
| To the seeming | F |
| Lamps for ever bleak and ashen | J |
| Of our necromantic eyes | C |

| But no tear | K |
| Shall we weep | L |
| Knowing tears are void and vain | E |
| Like the scattered | M |
| Drops of rain | E |
| On a desert's lion sleep | L |
| - | |
| Chill and sere | N |
| Like the grass | C |
| Flaffing in a field of snow | O |
| We shall know that nothing mattered | M |
| As we tell our faded woe | O |
| Ere we pass | C |
