| And kneeling by my side | B |
| Laid her head upon my bosom | C |
| My beautiful my bride | B |
| My lost one with her soft dark eyes | D |
| And waves of sunny hair | E |
| I smoothed the shining tresses | F |
| With tearful fond caresses | F |
| And words of thankful prayer | E |
| - | |
| And then a thrill of doubt and pain | G |
| My jealous heart swept o'er | H |
| We were parted she was dwelling | I |
| Upon a far off shore | J |
| Yet He who made my sad heart knew | K |
| I loved her more and more | J |
| My love more true and perfect grew | K |
| As each dark day passed o'er | H |
| But she whose heart had been my own | L |
| Who loved me tenderly | A |
| Whose last low words I knelt to hear | M |
| Were How can I leave thee | A |
| - | |
| And Death would seem as sweet as life | N |
| Could we together be | A |
| Now though we two were parted | O |
| By such a distance wide | B |
| By such a strange and viewless realm | P |
| By such a boundless tide | B |
| Her gentle face was radiant | Q |
| With a surpassing bliss | R |
| She was happier in that distant land | S |
| Than she ever was in this | R |
| And in some other tenderness | T |
| Some other love divine | U |
| She had found a peace and happiness | T |
| She never found in mine | U |
| - | |
| So with a tender chiding | I |
| I could not quite suppress | V |
| Though well my darling knew | K |
| I would not make her pleasures less | V |
| Are you happy love I said | W |
| Are you happy love without me | A |
| Then she raised her gentle head | W |
| And twined her arms about me | A |
| Yet while my tears fell faster | H |
| Beneath her mute caress | V |
| Her face had all the glory | A |
| Of a sainted soul at rest | X |
| And her voice was sweet as music | Y |
| I am happy I am blest | X |
| - | |
| Do you know how lonely hearted | O |
| I have been each weary day | Z |
| Praying that each passing hour | H |
| Would bear my life away | Z |
| That we might be united | O |
| Upon that distant shore | J |
| - | |
| Laurence we are not parted | O |
| I am with your evermore | J |
| - | |
| I cannot see you darling | I |
| Your face I cannot see | A |
| - | |
| Can you see the moon's white fingers | A2 |
| That leads the pleading sea | A |
| Can you see the fragrance lingering | I |
| Where summer roses be | A |
| The soft winds tender clasping | I |
| The close enwrapping air | E |
| Enfolding you Oh Laurence | B2 |
| I am with you everywhere | E |
| - | |
| Then while her face grew brighter | H |
| As with a heavenly glow | C2 |
| In tenderness unspeakable | D2 |
| She kissed my lips and brow | E2 |
| Then I lost her then she left me | A |
| As at the set of day | Z |
| The snowy clouds float outward | F2 |
| And melt in light away | Z |
| I heard low strains of melody | A |
| No earthly choir could sing | I |
| A light breath floated past me | A |
| As from a gliding wing | I |
| And on my darkened spirit | G2 |
| There fell so bright a gleam | H2 |
| I knew the blessed vision | I2 |
| Was not in truth a dream | H2 |
| Though death had won from my embrace | J2 |
| My beautiful my bride | B |
| I had won a richer treasure | H |
| An angel by my side | B |
| - | |
| The Father careth for us all | K2 |
| In pity and I know | C2 |
| My love is not forever gone | L2 |
| From him who loved her so | C2 |
| When a few more days have drifted | O |
| Their shadows over me | A |
| When the golden gates are lifted | O |
| My angel I shall see | A |
| Her veiled face in its glory | A |
| Upon my gaze will rise | D |
| And Heaven will shine upon me | A |
| Through the sweetness of her eyes | D |
