| Breathless and cold | B |

| What shall we do | E |
| You without me | D |
| I without you | E |
| - | |
| I cannot bear the thought | F |
| You first may die | G |
| Nor of how you will weep | H |
| Should I | G |
| We are too much alone | I |
| What can we do | E |
| To make our bodies one | J |
| You me I you | E |
| - | |
| We are most nearly born | K |
| Of one same kind | L |

| O but how suddenly | D |
| Either may droop | W |
| Countenance be so white | M |
| Body stoop | W |
| Then there may be a place | X |
| Where fading flowers | Y |
| dropp on a lifeless face | X |
| Through weeping hours | Y |
| - | |
| Is then nothing safe | Z |
| Can we not find | L |
| Some everlasting life | A2 |
| In our one mind | L |
| I feel it like disgrace | X |
| Only to understand | B2 |
| Your spirit through your word | C2 |
| Or by your hand | B2 |
| - | |
| I cannot find a way | O |
| Through love and through | E |
| I cannot reach beyond | D2 |
| Body to you | E |
| When you or I must go | E2 |
| Down evermore | F2 |
| There ll be no more to say | O |
| But a locked door | F2 |
