| The snow tops shining rosy | B |
| In heaven now that the darkness | C |
| Takes all but the tallest posy | C |
| - | |
| Who then sees the two winged | D |
| Boat down there all alone | E |
| And asleep on the snow's last shadow | F |
| Like a moth on a stone | E |
| - | |
| The olive leaves light as gad flies | C |
| Have all gone dark gone black | G |
| And now in the dark my soul to you | H |
| Turns back | G |
| - | |
| To you my little darling | A |
| To you out of Italy | B |
| For what is loveliness my love | I |
| Save you have it with me | B |
| - | |
| So there's an oxen wagon | J |
| Comes darkly into sight | K |
| A man with a lantern swinging | A |
| A little light | K |
| - | |
| What does he see my darling | A |
| Here by the darkened lake | L |
| Here in the sloping shadow | F |
| The mountains make | L |
| - | |
| He says not a word but passes | C |
| Staring at what he sees | C |
| What ghost of us both do you think he saw | C |
| Under the olive trees | C |
| - | |
| All the things that are lovely | B |
| The things you never knew | H |
| I wanted to gather them one by one | J |
| And bring them to you | H |
| - | |
| But never now my darling | A |
| Can I gather the mountain tips | C |
| From the twilight like half shut lilies | C |
| To hold to your lips | C |
| - | |
| And never the two winged vessel | M |
| That sleeps below on the lake | L |
| Can I catch like a moth between my hands | C |
| For you to take | L |
| - | |
| But hush I am not regretting | A |
| It is far more perfect now | N |
| I'll whisper the ghostly truth to the world | O |
| And tell them how | N |
| - | |
| I know you here in the darkness | C |
| How you sit in the throne of my eyes | C |
| At peace and look out of the windows | C |
| In glad surprise | C |
