| Whatsoever was just you were slack to see | C |
| Kept not things lovely and pure in view | D |
| Said my own voice talking to me | C |

| You slighted her that endureth all | E |
| Said my own voice talking to me | C |
| Vaunteth not trusteth hopefully | C |
| That suffereth long and is kind withal | C |

| You taught not that which you set about | F |
| Said my own voice talking to me | C |

| And the sticks burnt low and the fire went out | F |
| And my voice ceased talking to me | C |
