| Soft through the window shade | B |

| Yesterday I thought 'I know | C |
| Just how the bells will sound and how | D |
| The friends will talk and the sermon go | C |

| This is to day and I have no thing | E |
| To think of nothing whatever to do | F |
| But to hear the throb of the pulse of a wing | E |
| That wants to fly back to you | F |
