| Once I walked at eventide | B |
| When a gentle silent maiden | C |
| Walked in beauty at my side | B |
| She alone there walked beside me | D |
| All in beauty like a bride | B |
| - | |
| Pallidly the moon was shining | E |
| On the dewy meadows nigh | F |
| On the silvery silent rivers | G |
| On the mountains far and high | F |
| On the ocean's star lit waters | G |
| Where the winds a weary die | F |
| - | |
| Slowly silently we wandered | B |
| From the open cottage door | H |
| Underneath the elm's long branches | I |
| To the pavement bending o'er | J |
| Underneath the mossy willow | K |
| And the dying sycamore | H |
| - | |
| With the myriad stars in beauty | D |
| All bedight the heavens were seen | L |
| Radiant hopes were bright around me | D |
| Like the light of stars serene | L |
| Like the mellow midnight splendor | J |
| Of the Night's irradiate queen | L |
| - | |
| Audibly the elm leaves whispered | B |
| Peaceful pleasant melodies | M |
| Like the distant murmured music | N |
| Of unquiet lovely seas | M |
| While the winds were hushed in slumber | J |
| In the fragrant flowers and trees | M |
| - | |
| Wondrous and unwonted beauty | D |
| Still adorning all did seem | O |
| While I told my love in fables | P |
| 'Neath the willows by the stream | O |
| Would the heart have kept unspoken | C |
| Love that was its rarest dream | O |
| - | |
| Instantly away we wandered | B |
| In the shadowy twilight tide | B |
| She the silent scornful maiden | C |
| Walking calmly at my side | B |
| With a step serene and stately | D |
| All in beauty all in pride | B |
| - | |
| Vacantly I walked beside her | J |
| On the earth mine eyes were cast | B |
| Swift and keen there came unto me | D |
| Bitter memories of the past | B |
| On me like the rain in Autumn | Q |
| On the dead leaves cold and fast | B |
| - | |
| Underneath the elms we parted | B |
| By the lowly cottage door | H |
| One brief word alone was uttered | B |
| Never on our lips before | H |
| And away I walked forlornly | D |
| Broken hearted evermore | H |
| - | |
| Slowly silently I loitered | B |
| Homeward in the night alone | R |
| Sudden anguish bound my spirit | B |
| That my youth had never known | R |
| Wild unrest like that which cometh | S |
| When the Night's first dream hath flown | R |
| - | |
| Now to me the elm leaves whisper | J |
| Mad discordant melodies | M |
| And keen melodies like shadows | A |
| Haunt the moaning willow trees | M |
| And the sycamores with laughter | J |
| Mock me in the nightly breeze | M |
| - | |
| Sad and pale the Autumn moonlight | B |
| Through the sighing foliage streams | T |
| And each morning midnight shadow | B |
| Shadow of my sorrow seems | T |
| Strive O heart forget thine idol | D |
| And O soul forget thy dreams | T |
