| For you I could forget the gay | B |
| Delirium of merriment | C |
| And let my laughter die away | B |
| In endless silence of content | C |
| I could forget for your dear sake | D |
| The utter emptiness and ache | D |
| Of every loss I ever knew | E |
| What could I not forget for you | E |
| - | |
| I could forget the just deserts | F |
| Of mine own sins and so erase | G |
| The tear that burns the smile that hurts | F |
| And all that mars or masks my face | G |
| For your fair sake I could forget | C |
| The bonds of life that chafe and fret | C |
| Nor care if death were false or true | E |
| What could I not forget for you | E |
| - | |
| What could I not forget Ah me | H |
| One thing I know would still abide | C |
| Forever in my memory | H |
| Though all of love were lost beside | C |
| I yet would feel how first the wine | I |
| Of your sweet lips made fools of mine | I |
| Until they sung all drunken through | E |
| 'What could I not forget for you ' | - |
