| What hours of mirth it knew | B |
| How gayly it paraded | C |

| Before this rosebud wilted | C |
| How passionately sweet | F |
| The wild waltz smelled and lilted | F |
| In time for flying feet | F |
| How loud the bassoons muttered | F |
| The horns grew madly shrill | G |
| And oh the vows lips uttered | F |
| That hearts could not fulfill | G |
| - | |
| Before this fan was broken | H |
| Behind its lace and pearl | I |
| What whispered words were spoken | H |
| What hearts were in a whirl | I |
| What homesteads were selected | F |
| In Fancy's realm of Spain | J |
| What castles were erected | F |
| Without a room for pain | J |

| Maybe our hearts are sated | F |
| We tire so soon to day | K |
| O thrust away these treasures | L |
| They speak the dreary truth | M |
| We have outgrown the pleasures | L |
| And keen delights of youth | M |
