| I sent a ring a little band | B |
| Of emerald and ruby stone | C |

| Tell thee sweet tales of one | D |
| Whose constant memory | E |
| Was full of loveliness and thee | E |

| A shell was graven on its gold | F |

| Her love is buried with that stone | C |

| Thou shalt not see the tears that start | I |
| From eyes by thoughts like these beguiled | J |
| Thou shalt not know the beating heart | I |
| Ever a victim and a child | J |
| Yet Helene love believe | K |
| The heart that never could deceive | K |
| - | |
| I'll hear thy voice of melody | E |
| In the sweet whispers of the air | L |
| I'll see the brightness of thine eye | M |
| In the blue evening's dewy star | N |
| In crystal streams thy purity | E |
| And look on Heaven to look on thee | E |
