| Still my eyelid s dewy my veins they beat | E |

| And dissipate the gloom | F |
| With songs of loving faith and sorrow sweet | E |
| And fate and darkling grave kind dreams do cheat | E |
| That while fair life young hope despair and death are | G |
| We re boy and girl and lass and lad and man and wife together | A |
