Who used to pilgrim to your gate | B |
At whose smart step you grew elate | B |

It was not I who sang | C |
Beside the keys you touched so true | D |
With note bent eyes as if with you | D |
It counted not whence sprang | C |
The voice that rang | C |

It was to miss your early sweet | F |
You still when turned to you my feet | F |
Had sweet enough to be | E |
A prize for me | E |
