| And never since that day | B |
| Hath absence time or grief had power | A |
| To chase that dream away | B |
| They've seen the suns of other skies | C |
| On other shores have sought delight | D |
| But never more to bless their eyes | C |
| Can come a dream so bright | D |
| They met but once a day was all | E |
| Of Love's young hopes they knew | F |
| And still their hearts that day recall | E |
| As fresh as then it flew | F |

| Sweet dream of youth oh ne'er again | G |
| Let either meet the brow | H |
| They left so smooth and smiling then | G |
| Or see what it is now | H |
| For Youth the spell was only thine | I |
| From thee alone the enchantment flows | J |
| That makes the world around thee shine | I |
| With light thyself bestows | J |
| They met but once oh ne'er again | G |
| Let either meet the brow | H |
| They left so smooth and smiling then | G |
| Or see what it is now | H |
