| This summer day with all its flowers | D |
| With all its green and gold and blue | E |
| Just for a little while is ours | D |
| Just for a little I and you | E |
| Till the stars rise and bring the dew | E |
| - | |
| One perfect day to us is given | F |
| Tomorrow all the aching years | G |
| This is our last short day in heaven | F |
| The last of all our kisses nears | G |
| Then life too arid even for tears | H |
| - | |
| Here as the day ends we two end | I |
| Two that were one we said for ever | J |

| The last I say yet scarce believe | M |

| In plots of glory here and there | P |
| Pouring its gold among the ferns | O |
| So burned my lips upon your hair | P |
| So rained our kisses love last year | Q |
| - | |
| We saw not where a shadow loomed | R |
| That from its first auroral hour | J |
| Our happy paradise fore doomed | R |
| A Fate within whose icy power | J |
| Love blooms as helpless as a flower | J |
| - | |
| Its shadow by the dial stands | S |
| The golden moments shudder past | T |
| Soon shall he smite apart our hands | S |
| In vain we hold each other fast | T |
| And the last kiss must come at last | T |
| - | |
| The last then be it charged with fire | J |
| With sacred passion wild and white | U |
| With such a glory of desire | J |
| We two shall vanish in its light | U |
| And find each other in God's sight | U |
