Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIH AAJKLJ| My harp is on the willow tree | A |
| Else would I sing O love to thee | A |
| A song of long ago | B |
| Perchance the song that Miriam sung | C |
| Ere yet Judea's heart was wrung | C |
| By centuries of woe | B |
| - | |
| I ate my crust in tears to day | D |
| As scourged I went upon my way | D |
| And yet my darling smiled | E |
| Ay beating at my breast he laughed | F |
| My anguish curdled not the draught | F |
| 'T was sweet with love my child | E |
| - | |
| The shadow of the centuries lies | G |
| Deep in thy dark and mournful eyes | G |
| But hush and close them now | H |
| And in the dreams that thou shalt dream | I |
| The light of other days shall seem | I |
| To glorify thy brow | H |
| - | |
| Our harp is on the willow tree | A |
| I have no song to sing to thee | A |
| As shadows round us roll | J |
| But hush and sleep and thou shalt hear | K |
| Jehovah's voice that speaks to cheer | L |
| Judea's fainting soul | J |
