| YOU are to be married Mary | B |
| This hour as I wakeful lie | C |
| In the dreamy dawn of the morning | D |
| Your wedding hour draws nigh | C |
| Miles off you are rising dressing | D |
| Your bridemaidens gay among | E |
| In the same old house we played in | F |
| You and I when we were young | E |
| - | |
| Your bridemaids they were our playmates | G |
| Those known rooms every wall | H |
| Could speak of our childish frolics | G |
| Loves jealousies great and small | H |
| Do you mind how pansies changed we | B |
| And smiled at the word 'forget' | I |
| 'T was a girl's romance yet somehow | J |
| I have kept my pansy yet | I |
| - | |
| Do you mind our poems written | K |
| Together our dreams of fame | L |
| And of love how we'd share all secrets | G |
| When that sweet mystery came | L |
| It is no mystery now Mary | B |
| It was unveiled year by year | M |
| Till this is your marriage morning | D |
| And I rest quiet here | N |
| - | |
| I cannot call up your face Mary | B |
| The face of the bride to day | I |
| You have outgrown my knowledge | O |
| The years have so slipped away | I |
| I see but your girlish likeness | G |
| Brown eyes and brown falling hair | P |
| God knows I did love you dearly | B |
| And was proud that you were fair | P |
| - | |
| Many speak my name Mary | B |
| While yours in home's silence lies | G |
| - | |
| The future I read in toil's guerdon | K |
| You will read in your children's eyes | G |
| The past the same past with either | Q |
| Is to you a delightsome scene | K |
| But I cannot trace it clearly | B |
| For the graves that rise between | K |
| - | |
| I am glad you are happy Mary | B |
| These tears could you see them fall | H |
| Would show though you have forgotten | K |
| I have remembered all | H |
| And though my cup may be empty | B |
| While yours is all running o'er | Q |
| Heaven keep you its sweetness Mary | B |
| Brimming for evermore | R |
