| I know not but last night I dreamed | G |
| That you were walking by my side | H |
| And sweet as once you were you seemed | G |
| And all my heart was glorified | H |
| - | |
| Your head against my shoulder lay | I |
| And round your waist my arm was pressed | J |
| And as we walked a well known way | I |
| Love was between us both confessed | J |
| - | |
| But when with dawn I woke from sleep | K |
| And slow came back the unlovely truth | L |
| I wept as an old man might weep | K |
| For the lost paradise of youth | L |
