| We might have had | D |
| - | |
| If you and I had sat and played together | E |
| Love | B |
| Two speechless babes in the summer weather | E |
| Love | B |
| By one sweet brook which though it dried up long | F |
| Ago | G |
| Still makes for me today a sweeter song | F |
| Than all I know | G |
| - | |
| If hand in hand through the mysterious gateway | H |
| Love | B |

| To be | P |
| So beautiful and did not know the name | O |
| Or sight of me | P |
| - | |
| But all lost things are in the angel's keeping | Q |
| Love | B |
| No past is dead for us but only sleeping | Q |
| Love | B |
| The years of heaven will all earth's little pain | R |
| Make good | S |
| Together there we can begin again | T |
| In babyhood | S |
