| And melts and maddens all my blood | B |
| From out thy spirit flashes through | A |
| The burning glass of womanhood | C |

| Only so far here must I stay | D |
| Nearer I miss the light the fire | E |

| And far the way that I must go | G |
| To bring my spirit unto thee | F |
| Behind the glass within the glow | G |
