| Can never be the same | D |

| The waves that gleamed here long ago | E |
| Have reached a distant sea | F |
| The leaves of that first autumn glow | E |
| Have fallen from the tree | F |

| Have long since elsewhere flown | H |
| And I amid a careless throng | G |
| Am standing here alone | H |

| This sparkling flood can never quite | I |
| Replace the stream of old | J |
| These radiant leaves however bright | I |
| Wear not the old time gold | J |
| For evening's light can ne'er retain | K |
| The splendor of the dawn | L |
| And naught alas can bring again | M |
| The faces that are gone | L |
