| The keyboard over which two slim hands float | B |
| Shines vaguely in the twilight pink and gray | C |
| Whilst with a sound like wings note after note | B |
| Takes flight to form a pensive little lay | C |
| That strays discreet and charming faint remote | B |
| About the room where perfumes of Her stray | C |
| - | |
| What is this sudden quiet cradling me | D |
| To that dim ditty's dreamy rise and fall | E |
| What do you want with me pale melody | D |
| What is it that you want ghost musical | A |
| That fade toward the window waveringly | A |
| A little open on the garden small | A |
| - | |
| Oh heavy heavy my despair | F |
| Because because of One so fair | F |
| - | |
| My misery knows no allay | A |
| Although my heart has come away | A |
| - | |
| Although my heart although my soul | A |
| Have fled the fatal One's control | A |
| - | |
| My misery knows no allay | A |
| Although my heart has come away | A |
| - | |
| My heart the too too feeling one | G |
| Says to my soul Can it be done | G |
| - | |
| Can it be done too feeling heart | H |
| That we from her shall live apart | H |
| - | |
| My soul says to my heart Know I | I |
| What this strange pitfall should imply | I |
| - | |
| That we though far from her are near | J |
| Yea present though in exile here | K |
