| New constellations rise is death bereaving | A |
| The old earth too of each familiar face | G |

| Our loved ones leave us so we all grow fonder | D |
| Of their world than of ours for here we seem | H |
| Alone in haunted houses and we wonder | D |
| Which is the waking life and which the dream | H |
