| I woo thee from the watchtower high | B |
| Where thou dost sit to guide the bark | C |
| Of lonely mariner | D |
| - | |
| The winds are whistling o'er the wolds | E |
| The distant main is moaning low | F |
| Come let us sit and weave a song | G |
| A melancholy song | G |
| - | |
| Sweet is the scented gale of morn | H |
| And sweet the noontide's fervid beam | I |
| But sweeter far the solemn calm | J |
| That marks thy mournful reign | K |
| - | |
| I've pass'd here many a lonely year | L |
| And never human voice have heard | M |
| I've pass'd here many a lonely year | L |
| A solitary man | N |
| - | |
| And I have linger'd in the shade | O |
| From sultry noon's hot beams and I | B |
| Have knelt before my wicker door | P |
| To sing my evening song | G |
| - | |
| And I have hail'd the gray morn high | B |
| On the blue mountain's misty brow | Q |
| And tried to tune my little reed | R |
| To hymns of harmony | S |
| - | |
| But never could I tune my reed | R |
| At morn or noon or eve so sweet | T |
| As when upon the ocean shore | P |
| I hail'd thy star beam mild | U |
| - | |
| The dayspring brings not joy to me | S |
| The moon it whispers not of peace | E |
| But oh when darkness robes the heavens | E |
| My woes are mix'd with joy | V |
| - | |
| And then I talk and often think | W |
| A euml rial voices answer me | S |
| And oh I am not then alone | X |
| A solitary man | N |
| - | |
| And when the blustering winter winds | E |
| Howl in the woods that clothe my cave | Y |
| I lay me on my lonely mat | Z |
| And pleasant are my dreams | E |
| - | |
| And fancy gives me back my wife | A2 |
| And fancy gives me back my child | U |
| She gives me back my little home | B2 |
| And all its placid joys | E |
| - | |
| Then hateful is the morning hour | D |
| That calls me from the dream of bliss | E |
| To find myself still lone and hear | C2 |
| The same dull sounds again | D2 |
| - | |
| The deep toned winds the moaning sea | S |
| The whispering of the boding trees | E |
| The brook's eternal flow and oft | E2 |
| The condor's hollow scream | I |
