Sitting alone by the window	A
Watching the moonlit street	B
Bending my head to listen	C
To the well known sound of your feet	B
I have been wondering darling	D
How I can bear the pain	E
When I watch with sighs and tear wet eyes	F
And wait for your coming in vain	E
	-
	-
For I know that a day approaches	G
When your heart will tire of me	H
When by door and gate I may watch and wait	I
For a form I shall not see	H
When the love that is now my heaven	C
The kisses that make my life	J
You will bestow on another	K
And that other will be your wife	J
	-
	-
You will grow weary of sinning	D
Though you do not call it so	A
You will long for a love that is purer	K
Than the love that we two know	A
God knows I have loved you dearly	H
With a passion strong as true	L
But you will grow tired and leave me	H
Though I gave up all for you	L
	-
	-
I was as pure as the morning	D
When I first looked on your face	M
I knew I never could reach you	L
In your high exalted place	M
But I looked and loved and worshiped	N
As a flower might worship a star	O
And your eyes shone down upon me	H
And you seemed so far so far	O
	-
	-
And then Well then you loved me	H
Loved me with all your heart	P
But we could not stand at the altar	K
We were so far apart	P
If a star should wed with a flower	K
The star must drop from the sky	Q
Or the flower in trying to reach it	R
Would droop on its stalk and die	Q
	-
	-
But you said that you loved me darling	D
And swore by the heavens above	S
That the Lord and all of His angels	T
Would sanction and bless our love	S
And I I was weak not wicked	U
My love was as pure as true	L
And sin itself seemed a virtue	L
If only shared by you	L
	-
	-
We have been happy together	K
Though under the cloud of sin	V
But I know that the day approaches	G
When my chastening must begin	V
You have been faithful and tender	K
But you will not always be	H
And I think I had better leave you	L
While your thoughts are kind of me	H
	-
	-
I know my beauty is fading	D
Sin furrows the fairest brow	W
And I know that your heart will weary	H
Of the face you smile on now	W
You will take a bride to your bosom	X
After you turn from me	H
You will sit with your wife in the moonlight	Y
And hold her babe on your knee	H
	-
	-
Oh God I never could bear it	R
It would madden my brain I know	A
And so while you love me dearly	H
I think I had better go	A
It is sweeter to feel my darling	D
To know as I fall asleep	Z
That some one will mourn me and miss me	H
That some one is left to weep	Z
	-
	-
Than to die as I should in the future	K
To drop in the street some day	A2
Unknown unwept and forgotten	C
After you cast me away	A2
Perhaps the blood of the Saviour	K
Can wash my garments clean	B2
Perchance I may drink of the waters	C2
That flow through pastures green	B2
	-
	-
Perchance we may meet in heaven	C
And walk in the streets above	S
With nothing to grieve us or part us	D2
Since our sinning was all through love	S
God says 'Love one another '	-
And down to the depths of hell	E2
Will he send the soul of a women	C
Because she loved and fell	E2
	-
And so in the moonlight he found her	K
Or found her beautiful clay	A2
Lifeless and pallid as marble	F2
For the spirit had flown away	A2
The farewell words she had written	C
She held to her cold white breast	G2
And the buried blade of a dagger	K
Told how she had gone to rest	G2
