| - | |
| Heavy my heart is heavy to carry | B |
| Full of soft foldings of downy enwrapments | A |
| And the outer fold of all is love | C |
| And the next soft fold is love | C |
| And the next finer and softer is love again | D |
| And were they unwound before the eyes | A |
| More folds and more folds and more folds would unroll | E |
| Of love always love | C |
| And quite at the last | F |
| Deep in the nest in the soft packed nest | G |
| One last fold turned back would disclose | A |
| You little heart of my heart | H |
| Laid there so warm so soft so soft | I |
| Not knowing where you lie nor how softly | E |
| Nor why your nest is so soft | I |
| Nor how your nest is so warm | J |
| You little heart of my heart | H |
| You lie in my heart | H |
| Warm safe and soft as this body of yours | A |
| This dear kissed body of yours that lies | A |
| Here in my arms and sucks the strength from my breast | G |
| The strength you will break my heart with one of these days | A |
