Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCCCB DDAAEFFFE AAEEGHHHG| Over wastes of blasted heather | A |
| Where the pine trees stand together | A |
| Evermore my footsteps wander | A |
| Evermore the shadows yonder | A |
| Deepen into gloom | B |
| Where there lies a silent lake | C |
| No song bird there its thirst may slake | C |
| No sunshine now to whiteness wake | C |
| The water lily's bloom | B |

| Some sweet spring time long departed | D |
| I and she the simple hearted | D |
| Bride and bridegroom maid and lover | A |
| Did that gloomy lake discover | A |
| Did those lilies see | E |
| There we wandered side by side | F |
| There it was they said she died | F |
| But ah in this I know they lied | F |
| She will return to me | E |
| - | |
| Never never since that hour | A |
| Has the lake brought forth a flower | A |
| Ever harshly do the sedges | E |
| Some sad secret from its edges | E |
| Whisper to the shore | G |
| Some sad secret I forget | H |
| The lily though will blossom yet | H |
| And when it blooms I shall have met | H |
| My love for evermore | G |
