| AH dear one we were young so long | B |
| It seemed that youth would never go | C |
| For skies and trees were ever in song | B |
| And water in singing flow | C |
| In the days we never again shall know | C |
| Alas so long | B |
| Ah then was it all Spring weather | D |
| Nay but we were young and together | D |
| Ah dear one I've been old so long | B |
| It seems that age is loth to part | E |
| Though days and years have never a song | B |
| And oh have they still the art | E |
| That warmed the pulses of heart to heart | E |
| Alas so long | B |
| Ah then was it all Spring weather | D |
| Nay but we were young and together | D |
| Ah dear one you've been dead so long | B |
| How long until we meet again | F |
| Where hours may never lose their song | B |
| Nor flowers forget the rain | G |
| In glad noonlight that never shall wane | G |
| Alas so long | B |
| Ah shall it be then Spring weather | D |
| And ah shall we be young together | D |
