| With no shadow of sin | A |
| Turned the key in the lock | B |
| Slipped out of her frock | B |
| The robe she liked best | C |
| When for supper she dressed | C |
| Then a letter she tore | D |
| What a wan look she wore | D |
| Said the Door | D |
| - | |
| Said the Chair She sat down | E |
| With a pitiful frown | E |
| And then oh it's queer | F |
| Just one lonely tear | G |
| Rolled down her pale cheek | H |
| How I hoped she would speak | H |
| As she let down her hair | G |
| Said the Chair | G |
| - | |
| Said the Glass Then she gazed | I |
| Into me like one dazed | I |
| As with delicate grace | J |
| She made up her face | J |
| Her cheeks and her lips | K |
| With rose finger tips | K |
| So lovely alas | L |
| Then she turned on the gas | L |
| Said the Glass | L |
| - | |
| Said the Bed Down she lay | M |
| In a weariful way | M |
| Like an innocent child | N |
| To her fate reconciled | N |
| Hands clasped to her breast | C |
| In prayer or in rest | C |
| 'Dear Mother ' she said | O |
| Then pillowed her head | O |
| Said the Bed | O |
| - | |
| Said the Room Then the gleam | P |
| Of the moon like a dream | P |
| Soft silvered my space | J |
| And it fell on her face | J |
| That was never so sweet | Q |
| As her heart ceased to beat | Q |
| Then the moon fled and gloom | R |
| Fell like funeral plume | R |
| Said the Room | R |
| - | |
| Just a whore | D |
| Said the Door | D |
| Yet so fair | G |
| Said the Chair | G |
| Frail alas | L |
| Said the Glass | L |
| Now she's dead | O |
| Said the Bed | O |
| Sorry doom | R |
| Said the Room | R |
| - | |
| Then they all | S |
| Floor and wall | S |
| Quiet grew | T |
| Ceiling too | T |
| Like a tomb | R |
| Was the room | R |
| With hushed breath | U |
| Hailing Death | U |
| Soul's release | V |
| Silence Peace | V |
