| The garner'd Jewel of our heart | B |
| The Darling of our tent | C |
| Cold rains were falling thick and fast | D |
| When forth from us she went | C |

| The sweetest blossom on our tree | E |
| When droop'd her fairy head | F |
| We might not lay her 'mid the flowers | G |
| For all the flowers were dead | F |

| The youngest birdling of our nest | H |
| Her song from us hath fled | F |
| Yet mingles with a purer strain | I |
| That floats above our head | F |

| We gaze her wings we may not see | E |
| We listen all in vain | I |
| But when this wintry life is o'er | J |
| We'll hear her voice again | K |
