| And murmuring softly laps the weeds | A |
| And nurses there the falsest bloom | B |
| That ever wrought a lover's doom | B |
| Forget me not Forget me not | C |
| Ah would I could forget | D |
| But crying still Forget me not | C |
| Her image haunts me yet | D |
| - | |
| We wander'd by the river's brim | E |
| The day grew dusk the pathway dim | E |
| Her eyes like stars dispell'd the gloom | B |
| Her gleaming fingers pluck'd the bloom | B |
| Forget me not Forget me not | C |
| Ah would I could forget | D |

| The pale moon lit her paler face | F |
| And coldly watch'd our last embrace | F |
| And chill'd her tresses' sunny hue | G |
| And stole that flower's turquoise blue | G |
| Forget me not Forget me not | C |
| Ah would I could forget | D |
| But crying still Forget me not | C |
| Her image haunts me yet | D |

| The fateful flower droop'd to death | H |
| The fair false maid forswore her faith | I |
| But I obey a broken vow | J |
| And keep those wither'd blossoms now | J |
| Forget me not Forget me not | C |

| Sweet lips that pray'd Forget me not | C |
| Sweet eyes that will not be forgot | C |
| Recall your prayer forego your power | K |
| Which binds me by the fatal flower | K |
| Forget me not Forget me not | C |
| Ah would I could forget | D |
| But crying still Forget me not | C |
| Her image haunts me yet | D |
