| Beside these camp fire embers | A |
| The eyes that smiled so far away | B |
| The joy that was November's | A |

| Her voice to laughter moving | C |
| So merrily reproving | C |
| We wandered through the autumn woods | D |
| And neither thought of loving | C |
| - | |
| The hills with light were glowing | C |
| The waves in joy were flowing | C |
| It was not to the clouded sun | E |
| The day's delight was owing | C |

| The best of being's blisses | G |
| Our parting saw the first and last | H |
| Of love's imagined kisses | G |
| - | |
| Now 'mid these scenes the drearest | H |
| I dream of her the dearest | H |
| Whose eyes outshine the Southern stars | G |
| So far and yet the nearest | H |
| - | |
| And Love so gayly taunted | H |
| Who died no welcome granted | H |
| Comes to me now a pallid ghost | H |
| By whom my life is haunted | H |
| - | |
| With bonds I may not sever | I |
| He binds my heart forever | I |
| And leads me where we murdered him | J |
| The Hill beside the River | I |
