| A D Blood | B |
| I lavished my admiration upon you | C |
| You were to my mind the almost perfect man | D |
| You devoured my personality | E |
| And the idealism of my youth | F |
| And the strength of a high souled fealty | E |
| And all my hopes for the world | G |

| For my wasted soul and wasted youth | F |
| And I say to all beware of ideals | N |
