| As tender tints of sunrise | B |
| As corn beside the River | C |
| In softly varying hues | D |
| I loved you for your slightness | D |
| Your melancholy sweetness | D |
| Your changeful eyes that promised | E |
| What your lips would still refuse | D |
| - | |
| You came to me and loved me | F |
| Were mine upon the River | C |
| The azure water saw us | D |
| And the blue transparent sky | G |
| The Lotus flowers knew it | H |
| Our happiness together | C |
| While life was only River | C |
| Only love and you and I | G |
| - | |
| Love wakened on the River | C |
| To sounds of running water | C |
| With silver Stars for witness | D |
| And reflected Stars for light | I |
| Awakened to existence | D |
| With ripples for first music | J |
| And sunlight on the River | C |
| For earliest sense of sight | I |
| - | |
| Love grew upon the River | C |
| Among the scented flowers | D |
| The open rosy flowers | D |
| Of the Lotus buds in bloom | K |
| Love brilliant as the Morning | L |
| More fervent than the Noon day | M |
| And tender as the Twilight | I |
| In its blue transparent gloom | K |
| - | |
| Love died upon the River | C |
| Cold snow upon the mountains | D |
| The Lotus leaves turned yellow | N |
| And the water very grey | M |
| Our kisses faint and falter | C |
| The clinging hands unfasten | A |
| The golden time is over | C |
| And our passion dies away | M |
| - | |
| Away To be forgotten | A |
| A ripple on the River | C |
| That flashes in the sunset | O |
| That flashed and died away | M |
