| - | |
| Oh my blossom my darling whose dimpled hands are cold | C |
| Oh my baby my treasure laid under the green mould | C |
| Earth pressed on thy closed eyelids and on thy sunny hair | D |
| And folded hands and smiling lips so exquisitely fair | D |
| - | |
| Cold and dark are the night dews around thy grassy bed | E |
| Instead of warm and loving arms beneath thy sunny head | E |
| Oh my blossom my darling the long nights through awake | F |
| I stretch my empty arms for thee my heart my heart will break | F |
| - | |
| The autumn leaves are falling ungathered on the hill | G |
| The soft October sun is bright but the little hands are still | G |
| And the little feet that chased them as frolicksome and light | H |
| Have lain beneath them can it be a whole day and a night | H |
| - | |
| The autumn winds will sigh and moan the dreary dreary rain | I |
| Will drench thy lowly pillow sweet with tears like mine in vain | I |
| And weary weary months drag on and long years stretch before | J |
| Whilst thou to me my beautiful returnest nevermore | J |
| - | |
| Beyond our earthly vision beyond the burial sod | K |
| Where the palm trees and the amaranths grow on the hills of God | K |
| Oh golden gates that stand within the holy heavenly place | L |
| Open for me but a little that I may behold her face | L |
| - | |
| Open for me but a little that I may touch her hand | M |
| And hear her sing the hymn she loved about The Promised Land | M |
| Oh my blossom Oh my darling though it be but in a dream | N |
| Speak to me I watch I listen speak to me across the stream | N |
| - | |
| Kneeling praying at the threshold day and night and night and day | O |
| When I rise with heavy eyelids when I kneel at night to pray | O |
| Still I wait to catch the far off music of they starry hymn | A |
| Till I hear the voice that called thee bid me rise and enter in | P |
