| Immortal story that no mother's heart | F |
| Ev'n yet can read nor feel the biting pain | G |
| That rent her soul Immortal not by art | F |
| Which makes a long past sorrow sting again | H |
| - | |
| Like grief of yesterday but since it said | D |
| In simplest word the truth which all may see | A |
| Where any mother sobs above her dead | D |
| And plays anew the silent tragedy | A |
