| Where'er I turn are unkind faces | C |
| And hate and treachery and guile | D |
| Thou Mis'ry in all times and places | C |
| Dost greet me with thy pallid smile | D |
| - | |
| At birth I found thee waiting for me | B |
| I knew thee in my cradle first | E |
| The same small eyes and dim watched o'er me | B |
| The same dry bony fingers nursed | E |
| - | |
| And day by day when morning lightened | F |
| To school thou led'st me home did'st bring | G |
| And thine were all the blooms that brightened | F |
| The chilly landscape of my spring | G |

| The kindly and the unforsaking | G |
| Oh Mis'ry thou art with me now | K |

| Ay still from out Fate's gloomy towers | L |
| I see thee come to me again | J |
| With wreaths of everlasting flowers | L |
| And songs funereal in thy train | M |
| - | |
| 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 |
