| Evermore the shadows yonder | A |
| Deepen into gloom | B |
| Where there lies a silent lake | C |

| 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 |
