| Ring joyous chords ring out again | B |
| A swifter still and a wilder strain | C |
| They are here the fair face and the careless heart | D |
| And stars shall wane ere the mirthful part | D |
| But I met a dimly mournful glance | E |
| In a sudden turn of the flying dance | E |
| I heard the tone of a heavy sigh | F |
| In a pause of the thrilling melody | G |
| And it is not well that woe should breathe | H |
| On the bright spring flowers of the festal wreath | I |
| Ye that to thought or to grief belong | J |
| Leave leave the hall of song | J |
| - | |
| Ring joyous chords but who art thou | K |
| With the shadowy locks o'er thy pale young brow | K |
| And the world of dreamy gloom that lies | L |
| In the misty depths of thy soft dark eyes | L |
| Thou hast lov'd fair girl thou hast lov'd too well | M |
| Thou art mourning now o'er a broken spell | M |
| Thou hast pour'd thy heart's rich treasures forth | N |
| And art unrepaid for their priceless worth | O |
| Mourn on yet come thou not here the while | P |
| It is but a pain to see thee smile | P |
| There is not a tone in our songs for thee | G |
| Home with thy sorrows flee | G |
| - | |
| Ring joyous chords ring out again | B |
| But what dost thou with the Revel's train | C |
| A silvery voice through the soft air floats | Q |
| But thou hast no part in the gladdening notes | Q |
| There are bright young faces that pass thee by | F |
| But they fix no glance of thy wandering eye | F |
| Away there's a void in thy yearning breast | R |
| Thou weary man wilt thou here find rest | R |
| Away for thy thoughts from the scene have fled | S |
| And the love of thy spirit is with the dead | S |
| Thou art but more lone midst the sounds of mirth | O |
| Back to thy silent hearth | T |
| - | |
| Ring joyous chords ring forth again | B |
| A swifter still and a wilder strain | C |
| But thou though a reckless mien be thine | U |
| And thy cup be crown'd with the foaming wine | U |
| By the fitful bursts of thy laughter loud | V |
| By thine eye's quick flash through its troubled cloud | V |
| I know thee it is but the wakeful fear | W |
| Of a haunted bosom that brings thee here | X |
| I know thee thou fearest the solemn night | Y |
| With her piercing stars and her deep wind's might | Y |
| There's a tone in her voice which thou fain wouldst shun | Z |
| For it asks what the secret soul hath done | Z |
| And thou there's a dark weight on thine away | A2 |
| Back to thy home and pray | A2 |
| - | |
| Ring joyous chords ring out again | B |
| A swifter still and a wilder strain | C |
| And bring fresh wreaths we will banish all | B2 |
| Save the free in heart from our festive hall | B2 |
| On through the maze of the fleet dance on | C2 |
| But where are the young and the lovely gone | D2 |
| Where are the brows with the red rose crown'd | E2 |
| And the floating forms with the bright zone bound | E2 |
| And the waving locks and the flying feet | F2 |
| That still should be where the mirthful meet | F2 |
| They are gone they are fled they are parted all | B2 |
| Alas the forsaken hall | B2 |
