| Sing not to me of the battlefield | D |
| Nor splintered lance nor of broken shield | D |
| Not of gory plumes once freshly fair | C |
| Not of banners rent nor pennon bare | C |

| The misspent hours fled where oh where | C |
| - | |
| Sing not to me of the sea fight won | E |
| By daring hearts and by flashing gun | E |

| The misspent hours fled where oh where | G |
| - | |
| Sing not of Love's deep tenderness | H |
| Nor its whispered words share its sweet caress | I |
| Sing not to me of Beauty's power | G |
| Nor the bridal morn Love's dearest hour | G |
| But sing to me my memory's care | G |
| The misspent hours fled where oh where | G |
| - | |
| Sing sing to me with a mocking song | J |
| Of the guilty past and its deeds of wrong | J |
| Sing till around me the phantoms come | K |
| Or the broken hearts in a distant home | L |
| These these are my memory's care | G |
| And shriek them forth to my soul's despair | G |
