| Keener eye or smile more sunlit | H |
| Or more dignity of mien | G |
| - | |
| His brow was fair and lofty | C |
| Bright was his clustering hair | I |

| His it was to plead with men | K |
| With Thus my Lord hath said | L |

| The rapture of a moment | O |

| I was but a simple maiden | D |
| Village born and village bred | L |
| And when this crown of gladness | P |
| Dropped down upon my head | L |
| - | |
| A simple maiden's feelings | P |
| That moment sprang awake | R |
| I wished myself rich noble | S |
| And lovely for his sake | R |
| - | |
| Ah love akin to sorrow | T |
| Ah ecstasy so fleet | U |
| Why is parting made the surer | B |
| When the meeting is so sweet | U |
| - | |
| Quick as the flash of summer | B |
| Came bliss to fade too soon | V |
| My poor heart swelled as ocean | D |
| Swells for the lady moon | V |
| - | |
| I saw him at the altar | B |
| Upon a morning fair | I |
| The matron and the maiden | D |
| And paranymph were there | I |
| - | |
| There were holy words and wishes | P |
| And smiles when tears would start | W |
| A fair bride stood beside him | C |
| And I I stood apart | W |
| - | |
| Then came the parting moment | O |
| After I loved him well | X |
| I stilled my heart's sore beating | Y |
| And so I said farewell | X |
| - | |
| And oh may no remembrance | P |
| Cause him a moment's pain | Z |
| But yet indeed I loved him | C |
| And I'll never love again | K |
