| For I am blind to all but to thy face | C |
| Open the gates and bid me see once more | A |

| Night is with child hast thou not heard men say | G |
| 'Night is with child what will she bring to birth ' | - |
| I sit and ask the stars when thou'rt away | G |
| Oh come and when the nightingale of mirth | H |
| Pipes in the Spring awakened garden ground | I |
| In Hafiz' heart shall ring a sweeter sound | I |
| Diviner nightingales attune their lay | G |
