| The sky in the west is red | B |
| And the day is all but done | A |
| While yonder up overhead | B |
| All too soon | C |
| There rises so cold the cynic moon | C |
| - | |
| A song of a winter day | D |
| The wind of the north doth blow | E |
| From a sky that's chill and gray | D |
| On fields where no crops now grow | E |
| Fields long shorn | F |
| Of bearded barley and golden corn | F |
| - | |
| A song of an old old man | G |
| His hairs are white and his gaze | H |
| Long bleared in his visage wan | I |
| With its weight of yesterdays | H |
| Joylessly | E |
| He stands and mumbles and looks at me | J |
| - | |
| A song of a faded flower | K |
| 'Twas plucked in the tender bud | L |
| And fair and fresh for an hour | K |
| In a lady's hair it stood | M |
| Now ah now | N |
| Faded it lies in the dust and low | E |
