| And these our days are done | B |
| In lands profoundly shaded | C |
| From tempest and from sun | B |
| Ah once more come together | D |
| Shall we forgive the past | E |
| And safe from worldly weather | D |
| Possess our souls at last | E |
| - | |
| Or in our place of shadows | F |
| Shall still we stretch an hand | G |
| To green remembered meadows | F |
| Of that old pleasant land | G |
| And vainly there foregathered | G |
| Shall we regret the sun | B |
| The rose of love ungathered | G |
| The bay we have not won | B |
| - | |
| Ah child the world's dark marges | F |
| May lead to Nevermore | H |
| The stately funeral barges | F |
| Sail for an unknown shore | H |
| And love we vow to morrow | I |
| And pride we serve to day | G |
| What if they both should borrow | I |
| Sad hues of yesterday | G |
| - | |
| Our pride Ah should we miss it | G |
| Or will it serve at last | G |
| Our anger if we kiss it | G |
| Is like a sorrow past | G |
| While roses deck the garden | B |
| While yet the sun is high | J |
| Doff sorry pride for pardon | B |
| Or ever love go by | J |
