| 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 |
| For we loved with that passionate love of youth | C |
| 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 |

| 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 |
