| Come not again I dwell with you | B |
| Above the realm of frost and dew | B |
| Of pain and fire and growth to death | C |
| I dwell with you where never breath | C |
| Is drawn but fragrance vital flows | D |
| From life to life even as a rose | D |
| Unseen pours sweetness through each vein | E |
| And from the air distills again | F |
| You are my rose unseen we live | G |
| Where each to other joy may give | H |
| In ways untold by means unknown | I |
| And secret as the magnet stone | I |
| - | |
| For which of us indeed is dead | J |
| No more I lean to kiss your head | J |
| The gold red hair so thick upon it | K |
| Joy feels no more the touch that won it | K |
| When o'er my brow your pearl cool palm | L |
| In tenderness so childish calm | L |
| Crept softly once Yet see my arm | M |
| Is strong and still my blood runs warm | N |
| I still can work and think and weep | O |
| But all this show of life I keep | O |
| Is but the shadow of your shine | P |
| Flicker of your fire husk of your vine | P |
| Therefore you are not dead nor I | Q |
| Who hear your laughter's minstrelsy | D |
| Among the stars your feet are set | R |
| Your little feet are dancing yet | R |
| Their rhythmic beat as when on earth | S |
| So swift so slight are death and birth | S |
| - | |
| Come not again dear child If thou | T |
| By any chance couldst break that vow | T |
| Of silence at thy last hour made | U |
| If to this grim life unafraid | U |
| Thou couldst return and melt the frost | V |
| Wherein thy bright limbs' power was lost | V |
| Still would I whisper since so fair | W |
| This silent comradeship we share | W |
| Yes whisper 'mid the unbidden rain | E |
| Of tears Come not come not again | F |
