| With not a roof that claims me for its guest | E |
| Hush the road vanishes Yes yes poor friend | C |
| This is the end | C |

| O Lord let thou thy servant go in peace | F |
| Now I have rounded out life's perfect lease | F |
| Spare me the clouded brain the dark'ning eye | G |
| Nor let me be a burden ere I die | G |
| Thou shalt not he Nay even now old friend | C |
| This is the end | C |
