| I am alone and need no more pretend | C |
| Laughter or smile to hide a hungry heart | D |
| I walk with solitude as with a friend | C |
| Enfolded and apart | D |

| We tread an eerie road across the moor | E |
| Where shadows weave upon their ghostly looms | F |

| I am a sister to the loveliness | F |
| Of cool far hill and long remembered shore | G |
| Finding in it a sweet forgetfulness | F |
| Of all that hurt before | G |

| The world of day its bitterness and cark | H |
| No longer have the power to make me weep | I |
| I welcome this communion of the dark | H |
| As toilers welcome sleep | I |
