| I dreamed last night once more I stood | B |
| Knee deep in purple clover leas | C |
| Your old home glimmered thro' its wood | B |
| Of dark and melancholy trees | C |
| Where ev'ry sudden summer breeze | C |
| That wantoned o'er the solitude | D |
| The water's melody pursued | D |
| And sleepy hummings of the bees | C |

| And ankle deep in violet blooms | E |
| Methought I saw you standing there | F |
| A lawny light among the glooms | E |
| A crown of sunlight on your hair | F |
| Wild songsters singing every where | F |
| Made lightning with their glossy plumes | E |
| About you clung the wild perfumes | E |
| And swooned along the shining air | F |

| And then you called me and my ears | E |
| Grew flattered with the music led | G |
| In fancy back to sweeter years | E |
| Far sweeter years that now are dead | G |
| And at your summons fast I sped | G |
| Buoyant as one a goal who nears | E |
| Ah lost dead love I woke in tears | E |
| For as I neared you farther fled | G |
