| In music I have no consolation | A |
| No roses are pale enough for me | C |
| The sound of the waters of separation | A |

| By the sad waters of separation | A |
| Dimly I hear from an hidden place | D |

| If you be dead no proclamation | A |
| Sprang to me over the waste gray sea | C |
| Living the waters of separation | A |
| Sever for ever your soul from me | C |

| No man knoweth our desolation | A |
| Memory pales of the old delight | E |
| While the sad waters of separation | A |
| Bear us on the the ultimate night | E |
