| Dear friend forgive a wild lament | B |
| Insanely following thy flight | C |
| I would not cumber thine ascent | B |
| Nor drag thee back into the night | C |
| - | |
| But the great sea winds sigh with me | D |
| The fair faced stars seem wrinkled old | E |
| And I would that I might lie with thee | D |
| There in the grave so cold so cold | E |
| - | |
| Grave walls are thick I cannot see thee | D |
| And the round skies are far and steep | F |
| A wild to quaff some cup of Lethe | D |
| Pain is proud and scorns to weep | F |
| - | |
| My heart breaks if it cling about thee | D |
| And still breaks if far from thine | G |
| O drear drear death to live without thee | D |
| O sad life to keep thee mine | G |
