| Here there's an almond tree you have never seen | C |

| At rest in the blue and wonder at what they mean | C |

| You my love the foremost in a flowered gown | G |
| All your unbearable tenderness you with the laughter | H |
| Startled upon your eyes now so wide with here after | H |
| You with loose hands of abandonment hanging down | G |
