| Dear were your eyes as the day | B |
| Bright as the day and the sky | C |
| Like the stream of gold and the sky above | A |
| Dear were your eyes in the grey | B |
| We have lived my love O we have lived my love | A |
| Now along the silent river azure | D |
| Through the sky's inverted image | E |
| Softly swam the boat that bore our love | A |
| Swiftly ran the shallow of our love | A |
| Through the heaven's inverted image | E |
| In the reedy mazes round the river | D |
| See along the silent river | D |
| - | |
| See of old the lover's shallop steer | F |
| Berried brake and reedy island | G |
| Heaven below and only heaven above | A |
| Through the sky's inverted image | E |
| Swiftly swam the boat that bore our love | A |
| Berried brake and reedy island | G |
| Mirrored flower and shallop gliding by | C |
| All the earth and all the sky were ours | H |
| Silent sat the wafted lovers | H |
| Bound with grain and watched by all the sky | C |
| Hand to hand and eye to eye | C |
| - | |
| Days of April airs of Eden | I |
| Call to mind how bright the vanished angel hours | H |
| Golden hours of evening | J |
| When our boat drew homeward filled with flowers | H |
| O darling call them to mind love the past my love | A |
| Days of April airs of Eden | I |
| How the glory died through golden hours | H |
| And the shining moon arising | J |
| How the boat drew homeward filled with flowers | H |
| Age and winter close us slowly in | K |
| - | |
| Level river cloudless heaven | I |
| Islanded reed mazes silver weirs | H |
| How the silent boat with silver | D |
| Threads the inverted forest as she goes | H |
| Broke the trembling green of mirrored trees | H |
| O remember and remember | D |
| How the berries hung in garlands | H |
| - | |
| Still in the river see the shallop floats | H |
| Hark Chimes the falling oar | L |
| Still in the mind | M |
| Hark to the song of the past | N |
| Dream and they pass in their dreams | H |
| - | |
| Those that loved of yore O those that loved of yore | L |
| Hark through the stillness O darling hark | O |
| Through it all the ear of the mind | M |
| - | |
| Knows the boat of love Hark | O |
| Chimes the falling oar | L |
| - | |
| O half in vain they grew old | P |
| - | |
| Now the halcyon days are over | D |
| Age and winter close us slowly round | Q |
| And these sounds at fall of even | K |
| Dim the sight and muffle all the sound | Q |
| And at the married fireside sleep of soul and sleep of fancy | H |
| Joan and Darby | H |
| Silence of the world without a sound | Q |
| And beside the winter faggot | R |
| - | |
| Joan and Darby sit and dose and dream and wake | S |
| Dream they hear the flowing singing river | D |
| See the berries in the island brake | S |
| Dream they hear the weir | T |
| See the gliding shallop mar the stream | U |
| Hark in your dreams do you hear | T |
| - | |
| Snow has filled the drifted forest | V |
| Ice has bound the stream | U |
| Frost has bound our flowing river | D |
| Snow has whitened all our island brake | S |
| - | |
| Berried brake and reedy island | G |
| Heaven below and only heaven above azure | D |
| Through the sky's inverted image | E |
| Safely swam the boat that bore our love | A |
| Dear were your eyes as the day | B |
| Bright ran the stream bright hung the sky above | A |
| Days of April airs of Eden | I |
| How the glory died through golden hours | H |
| And the shining moon arising | J |
| How the boat drew homeward filled with flowers | H |
| Bright were your eyes in the night | W |
| We have lived my love | A |
| O we have loved my love | A |
| Now the days are over | D |
| Age and winter close us slowly round | Q |
| - | |
| Vainly time departs and vainly | H |
| Age and winter come and close us round | Q |
| - | |
| Hark the river's long continuous sound | Q |
| - | |
| Hear the river ripples in the reeds | H |
| - | |
| Lo in dreams they see their shallop | X |
| Run the lilies down and drown the weeds | H |
| Mid the sound of crackling faggots | H |
| So in dreams the new created | Y |
| Happy past returns to day recedes | H |
| And they hear once more | L |
| - | |
| From the old years | H |
| Yesterday returns to day recedes | H |
| And they hear with aged hearing warbles | H |
| - | |
| Love's own river ripple in the weeds | H |
| And again the lover's shallop | X |
| Lo the shallop sheds the streaming weeds | H |
| And afar in foreign countries | H |
| In the ears of aged lovers | H |
| - | |
| And again in winter evens | H |
| Starred with lilies with stirring weeds | H |
| In these ears of aged lovers | H |
| Love's own river ripples in the reeds | H |
