| Hang weeping in the sky | B |

| I hear the press of eager feet | I |
| Upon my parlor floor | J |
| A moment and my willing arms | K |
| Enclasp my boy once more | J |
| I feel his warm breath on my cheek | L |
| But when his name I call | E |
| A shadowy finger points to me points me to | M |
| His picture on the wall | E |
| - | |
| The moon's full radiance struggles through | M |
| And lights my room once more | J |
| And thus shall heav'n O heart of mine | N |
| Thy seeming loss restore | J |
| Its light shall gild the present gloom | O |
| And sweeter spells enthral | E |
| Than that which binds me to this sweet to this sweet | I |
| True picture on the wall | E |
