| In the golden noon by the lovers' moon | F |
| My shadow bars your way | G |
| My shroud shows white in the blackest night | H |
| And grey in the gladdest day | G |
| And by your board and by your bed | I |
| There is a place for me | J |
| And in the glow when the coals burn low | K |
| My face is the face ye see | J |

| I come between when ye laugh and lean | L |
| I burn in the tears ye weep | M |
| I am there when ye wake in the gray day break | N |
| From the gold of a lovers' sleep | M |
| I wither the rose and I spoil the song | O |
| And Death is not strong to save | P |
| For I shall creep while your mourners weep | M |
| And wait for you in your grave | P |
