| The danger is past | B |
| And the lingering illness | A |
| Is over at last | B |
| And the fever called Living | C |
| Is conquered at last | B |
| - | |
| Sadly I know | D |
| I am shorn of my strength | E |
| And no muscle I move | F |
| As I lie at full length | E |
| But no matter I feel | G |
| I am better at length | E |
| - | |
| And I rest so composedly | G |
| Now in my bed | H |
| That any beholder | I |
| Might fancy me dead | H |
| Might start at beholding me | J |
| Thinking me dead | H |
| - | |
| The moaning and groaning | C |
| The sighing and sobbing | C |
| Are quieted now | K |
| With that horrible throbbing | C |
| At heart ah that horrible | G |
| Horrible throbbing | C |
| - | |
| The sickness the nausea | L |
| The pitiless pain | M |
| Have ceased with the fever | I |
| That maddened my brain | M |
| With the fever called Living | C |
| That burned in my brain | M |
| - | |
| And oh of all tortures | N |
| That torture the worst | O |
| Has abated the terrible | G |
| Torture of thirst | O |
| For the naphthaline river | I |
| Of Passion accurst | O |
| I have drank of a water | I |
| That quenches all thirst | O |
| - | |
| Of a water that flows | P |
| With a lullaby sound | O |
| From a spring but a very few | Q |
| Feet under ground | O |
| From a cavern not very far | R |
| Down under ground | O |
| - | |
| And ah let it never | I |
| Be foolishly said | O |
| That my room it is gloomy | J |
| And narrow my bed | O |
| For man never slept | O |
| In a different bed | O |
| And to sleep you must slumber | I |
| In just such a bed | O |
| - | |
| My tantalized spirit | O |
| Here blandly reposes | P |
| Forgetting or never | I |
| Regretting its roses | P |
| Its old agitations | P |
| Of myrtles and roses | P |
| - | |
| For now while so quietly | J |
| Lying it fancies | P |
| A holier odor | I |
| About it of pansies | P |
| A rosemary odor | I |
| Commingled with pansies | P |
| With rue and the beautiful | G |
| Puritan pansies | P |
| - | |
| And so it lies happily | J |
| Bathing in many | J |
| A dream of the truth | S |
| And the beauty of Annie | J |
| Drowned in a bath | T |
| Of the tresses of Annie | J |
| - | |
| She tenderly kissed me | J |
| She fondly caressed | O |
| And then I fell gently | J |
| To sleep on her breast | O |
| Deeply to sleep | U |
| From the heaven of her breast | O |
| - | |
| When the light was extinguished | O |
| She covered me warm | V |
| And she prayed to the angels | P |
| To keep me from harm | W |
| To the queen of the angels | P |
| To shield me from harm | W |
| - | |
| And I lie so composedly | J |
| Now in my bed | O |
| Knowing her love | X |
| That you fancy me dead | O |
| And I rest so contentedly | J |
| Now in my bed | O |
| With her love at my breast | O |
| That you fancy me dead | O |
| That you shudder to look at me | J |
| Thinking me dead | O |
| - | |
| But my heart it is brighter | I |
| Than all of the many | J |
| Stars in the sky | Y |
| For it sparkles with Annie | J |
| It glows with the light | O |
| Of the love of my Annie | J |
| With the thought of the light | O |
| Of the eyes of my Annie | J |
