Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE DGHGIJKL AMBMNOPO IDADQRSR TKUKVWBW AXVX| One moment alone in the garden | A |
| Under the August skies | B |
| The moon had gone but the stars shone on | C |
| Shone like your beautiful eyes | B |
| Away from the glitter and gaslight | D |
| Alone in the garden there | E |
| While the mirth of the throng in laugh and song | F |
| Floated out on the air | E |
| - | |
| You looked down through the starlight | D |
| And I looked up at you | G |
| And a feeling came that I could not name | H |
| Something starnge and new | G |
| Friends of a few weeks only | I |
| Why should it give me pain | J |
| To know you would go in the morrow | K |
| And would not come again | L |
| - | |
| Formal friends of a season | A |
| What matter that we must part | M |
| But under the skies with a swift surprise | B |
| Each read the other's heart | M |
| We did not speak but your breath on my cheek | N |
| Was like a breeze of the south | O |
| And your dark hair brushed my forehead | P |
| And your kiss fell on my mouth | O |
| - | |
| Some one was searching for me | I |
| Some one to say good night | D |
| And we went in from the garden | A |
| Out of the sweet starlight | D |
| Back to the glitter and music | Q |
| And we said 'Good bye' in the hall | R |
| When a dozen heard and echoed the word | S |
| And then well that was all | R |
| - | |
| The river that rolls between us | T |
| Can never be crossed I know | K |
| For the waters are deep and the shores are steep | U |
| And a maelstrom whirls below | K |
| But I think we shall always remember | V |
| Though we both may strive to forget | W |
| How you looked in my eyes 'neath the August skies | B |
| After the moon had set | W |
| - | |
| How you kissed my lips in the garden | A |
| And we stood in a trance of bliss | X |
| And our hearts seemed speaking together | V |
| In that one thrilling kiss | X |
