| Let Love light it up with his smile | B |
| For thus to meet and thus to find | C |
| That Time whose touch can chill | D |
| Each flower of form each grace of mind | C |

| In all Love's early bliss | H |
| Oh Time all other gifts may take | G |
| So he but leaves us this | H |
| Then let joy alone be remembered now | A |
| Let our sorrows go sleep awhile | B |
| Or if thought's dark cloud come o'er the brow | A |
| Let Love light it up with his smile | B |
