| What of that spray she plucked and gave | G |
| The spray of this wild dittany | H |

| A something lost beyond the grave | G |
| He knew now what it meant ah me | I |
| That spray of withered dittany | H |

| How many things he had forgot | A |
| Far lovely things Life flings away | J |
| And where was she now Who could say | J |
| The dittany whose scent was hot | A |
| Spoke to his heart and old and gray | J |
| Through the lone land he went his way | J |
