| From our cornfields to the sea | B |
| Came she where our wives and daughters | A |
| Sobbed their thanks on bended knee | B |
| Hidden faces there ye found her | C |
| Mute as death and staring wild | D |
| At the shadow waxing round her | C |
| Like the presence of her child | D |
| Of her drenched and drowning child | D |
| - | |
| Dark thoughts live when tears won t gather | C |
| Who can tell us what she felt | E |
| It was human O my Father | C |
| If she blamed Thee while she knelt | E |
| Ever as a benediction | F |
| Fell like balm on all and each | G |
| Rose a young face whose affliction | F |
| Choked and stayed the founts of speech | G |
| Stayed and shut the founts of speech | G |

| Often doth she sit and ponder | C |
| Over gleams of happy hair | H |
| How her white hands used to wander | C |
| Like a flood of moonlight there | H |
| Lord our Lord Thou know st her weakness | I |
| Give her faith that she may pray | J |
| And the subtle strength of meekness | I |
| Lest she falter by the way | J |
| Falter fainting by the way | J |

| Darling saith she wildly moaning | K |
| Where the grass grown silence lies | I |
| Is there rest from sobs and groaning | K |
| Rest with you beyond the skies | I |
| Child of mine so far above me | B |
| Late it waxeth dark and late | L |
| Will the love with which I love thee | B |
| Lift me where you sit and wait | L |
| Darling where you sit and wait | L |
