| God | B |
| And pleaded starvingly | C |

| I strayed from peak to peak from star to star | I |
| And roamed in search of grace | J |
| Amid the field of space | J |

| Antiquity | D |
| But mouths were mute and eyes refused to see | D |
| The asking face | J |
| Oh pity me Oh pity me | D |
| Wandering eternally | D |

| I lay abreast above the chasm of Hell | C |
| And claimed my destiny | D |
| Amid it demonry | I |
| In vain I shrieked for entrance at the well | C |
| Of Sin | F |
| I heard the Sobs and Sorrows rushing in | F |
| All moaningly | C |
| Oh pity me Oh pity me | D |
| Wandering eternally | D |
