| Of tender hue and fragrance rare | B |
| And with it came across the sea | A |
| A letter kind as she was fair | B |
| But when her letter met mine eyes | C |
| The flower the little flower was dead | D |

| I sent my love a letter too | E |
| In happy hope no more to roam | F |

| Whose gallant sails should waft me home | F |

| My love my little love was dead | D |
| And when the vessel touch'd the land | G |
| Fair hope for evermore had fled | D |
