| Turn back the hands of memory's books | F |

| On rainy days my ghostly dreams | H |
| Come clothed in garments like the mist | I |
| But through that vapoury veiling gleams | H |
| The lustrous eyes my lips have kissed | I |
| A radiant head leans on my heart | J |
| We walk in well remembered ways | D |
| But oh the sorrow when we part | J |
| On rainy days | D |
