| O silver gliding River | A |
| Thy springing willows shiver | A |
| In the sunset as of old | B |

| While the sun bars and the sand bars | E |
| Fill air and wave with gold | B |

| O gay oblivious River | A |
| O sunset kindled River | A |
| Do you remember ever | A |
| The eyes and skies so blue | F |
| On a summer day that shone here | G |
| When we were all alone here | G |
| And the blue eyes were too wise | H |
| To speak the love they knew | F |

| O stern impassive River | A |
| O still unanswering River | A |
| The shivering willows quiver | A |
| As the night winds moan and rave | I |
| From the past a voice is calling | J |
| From heaven a star is falling | J |
| And dew swells in the bluebells | K |
| Above her hillside grave | I |
