| I Had suffered untold sorrow | B |
| Had wept full many a long night through | A |

| Oh she had seen her baby die | C |
| And seen her loved ones taken | D |
| Full many a tear had dimmed her eye | C |
| But her faith remained unshaken | D |
| - | |
| Her hair was white as the driven snow | B |
| And her brow with care was lined | E |
| But all untouched by the years of woe | B |
| Was the sweetness of her mind | E |

| And the dreary nights of grieving | G |
| Was the gentle smile of that woman fair | F |
| Still trustful still believing | G |

| Joy never produces a soul like this | H |
| They come from the fires of anguish | I |
| This perfect sweetness of mind they miss | H |
| Who in rose red bowers languish | I |
| For out of the heartache and out of pain | J |
| And the suffering unabated | K |
| The shattered hopes that were held in vain | J |
| Was this wonderful soul created | L |
