| And never since that day | B |

| Sweet dream of youth oh ne'er again | G |
| Let either meet the brow | H |

| 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 |
