| And why is the garden so gay | B |
| Do you know that my days of delight are done | A |
| Do you know I am going away | B |
| If you covered your face with a cloud I 'd dream | C |
| You were sorry for me in my pain | D |
| And the heads of the flowers all bowed would seem | C |
| To be weeping with me in the rain | D |
| - | |
| But why is your head so low sweet heart | E |
| And why are your eyes overcast | F |
| Are they clouded because you know we must part | E |
| Do you think this embrace is our last | F |
| Then kiss me again and again and again | G |
| Look up as you bid me good bye | H |
| For your face is too dear for the stain of a tear | I |
| And your smile is the sun in my sky | H |
