| Be still my heart and listen | B |
| For sweet and yet acute | A |
| I hear the wistful music | C |
| Of Khristna and his flute | A |
| Across the cool blue evenings | D |
| Throughout the burning days | E |
| Persuasive and beguiling | F |
| He plays and plays and plays | E |
| - | |
| Ah none may hear such music | C |
| Resistant to its charms | G |
| The household work grows weary | H |
| And cold the husband's arms | G |
| I must arise and follow | I |
| To seek in vain pursuit | A |
| The blueness and the distance | J |
| The sweetness of that flute | A |
| - | |
| In linked and liquid sequence | J |
| The plaintive notes dissolve | K |
| Divinely tender secrets | L |
| That none but he can solve | K |
| Oh Khristna I am coming | F |
| I can no more delay | M |
| My heart has flown to join thee | H |
| How can my footsteps stay | M |
| - | |
| Beloved such thoughts have peril | N |
| The wish is in my mind | A |
| That I had fired the jungle | N |
| And left no leaf behind | A |
| Burnt all bamboos to ashes | O |
| And made their music mute | A |
| To save thee from the magic | C |
| Of Khristna and his flute | A |
