| Into the lonely park all frozen fast | B |

| A bell within that sky we see | H |
| Chimes low and faint | B |
| A bird upon that tree we see | H |
| Maketh complaint | B |

| Dear God is not the life up there | O |
| Simple and sweet | B |
| How peacefully are borne up there | O |
| Sounds of the street | B |

| What hast thou done who comest | B |
| To weep alway | A |
| Where hast thou laid who comest here | P |
| Thy youth away | A |
