| And when life's curses rock me nightly | B |
| And hushed I lie in slumber's hold | N |
| Thy sable form comes treading lightly | B |
| To wrap me in its garments fold | N |
| - | |
| Thy brother let me be and wholly | B |
| Repay thee all I owe tho' late | O |
| My aching heart my melancholy | B |
| My songs to thee I dedicate | O |
