| The old pet name of Little Queen | B |
| In the dear dead days that are no more | A |
| The happiest days of our lives I ween | B |

| That blesses but once with its perfect bliss | D |
| A love that in spite of its trust and truth | C |
| Seems never to thrive in a world like this | D |
| - | |
| I lived for you and you lived for me | E |
| All was centred in Little Queen | B |
| And never a thought in our hearts had we | E |
| That strife or trouble could come between | B |
| What utter sinking of self it was | F |
| How little we cared for the world of men | B |
| For love s fair kingdom and loves sweet laws | G |
| Were all of the world and life to us then | B |

| I can hear you calling for Little Queen | B |
| For a happy home and a busy life | I |
| Can never wholly crowd out our past | J |
| In the twilight pauses that come from strife | I |
| You will think of me while life shall last | J |

| And however sweet the voice of fame | K |
| May sing to me of a great world s praise | L |
| I shall long sometimes for the old pet name | K |
| That you gave to me in the dear dead days | L |
| And nothing the angel band can say | M |
| When I reach the shores of the great Unseen | B |
| Can please me so much as on that day | M |
| To hear your greeting of Little Queen | B |
