| My joys are in memory lying | F |
| Still ardently happy with youth | G |
| When smiles in ambition were dying | F |

| Sweet murmurs in mystical measures | I |
| Come soothingly over my soul | J |
| Where voices of babyish pleasures | I |
| And echoes of lullabies roll | J |
| The struggles of all my endeavor | E |
| Are bound in the darkest of thongs | I |
| Then sing me the old songs mother | E |
| Then sing me the dear old songs | I |

| I fain would return in my dreaming | F |
| To years that proclaimed me a boy | K |
| When gladness was happily beaming | F |
| And life was a musical toy | K |
| My sorrow has never Nepenthe | G |
| My woe in its bitterness throngs | I |
| Then sing me the old songs mother | E |
| Then sing me the dear old songs | I |
