| When the south is dazed with noon | L |
| When the eve weeps to the west | M |
| When the night beguiles the moon | L |
| The maid moon that sat so lowly | B |
| Sat so lowly with bended head | N |
| Sat so lowly and rose so slowly | B |
| Rose so slowly and walked so lowly | B |
| Ever ever with bended head | N |
| Till the black black hour of the starless sky | F |
| The black black hour and the dark dark bed | N |
| And live maids weep as they turn in their sleep | O |
| Weep in their sleep and know not why | F |
| And the white owls shriek and the dead men croon | L |

| Can do that bidding 'Remember me ' | - |

| Lest never in hall when the knights stand tall | R |
| And the goblets flash and the ladies shine | P |
| And thou risest up the king of them all | R |
| To drink to wassail and woman and wine | P |
| Risest up with thy jewelled cup | S |
| But out of the cup like the sea in a shell | T |
| A voice thou hast known by hill and wood | U |
| A voice a voice thou hast known too well | T |
| And the cold wine boils on the lip like blood | V |
| And the blood streams cold to the heart like wine | P |
| Cold and hot to the heart like wine | P |
| Oh Lord Robert Lord Robert Lord Robert | E |
| Oh Lord Robert 'tis I 'tis I | F |
| Under their feet where the cross roads meet | G |
| Dost thou think I can lie and lie | F |
| Lord Robert Lord Robert Lord Robert | E |
