| All the old tunes I know | B |
| Those I learnt ever so long ago | B |

| Silence cloaks like snow | B |

| When I returned from the town at nightfall | D |
| Notes continued to pour | E |

| A few morns onward found her fading | F |
| And as her life outflew | D |
| I thought of her playing her tunes right through | G |
| And I felt she had known of what was coming | F |
| And wondered how she knew | G |
