| Shall the hand that holds your own | E |
| Till the twain are thrilled as now | F |
| Be withheld or colder grown | E |
| Shall my kiss upon your brow | F |

| Nay my wife my life the gloom | H |
| Shall enfold us velvetwise | B |
| And my smile shall be the groom | H |

| Mingles with the darkening maze | B |
| I shall fall asleep with you | I |
| In the evening of our days | B |
