| To lean on thee my weak and weary head | B |

| The leafless trees are black the leaves long dead | B |
| - | |
| A little while to hold thee and to stand | C |
| By harvest fields of bending golden corn | D |
| Then the predestined silence and thine hand | C |
| Lost in the night long and weary and forlorn | D |

| A little while to love thee scarcely time | E |
| To love thee well enough then time to part | F |
| To fare through wintry fields alone and climb | E |
| The frozen hills not knowing where thou art | F |

| Short summer time and then my heart's desire | G |
| The winter and the darkness one by one | H |
| The roses fall the pale roses expire | I |
| Beneath the slow decadence of the sun | H |
