| Faint gleams of love and truth glance o'er my mind | A |
| - | |
| What though I end like a spring leaf shed on the wind | A |
| Restrained by pure eyed Sorrow's hand | D |
| Lithe Joy through this wondrous land | D |
| Leads me nothing have I scanned | D |
| Unmixed with good Fate's sharpest stroke is kind | A |

| To me thoughts lived of old anew are born | E |

| What though behind me all is mist and shade | F |
| Yet warmth of afterglow bathes all | G |
| Hallowed spirits move and call | G |
| Each to me a willing thrall | G |
| With kindly speech of mountain plain or glade | F |
| - | |
| Before me through the veil that covers all | G |
| Rays of a vasty Dawn strike high | B |
| To the zenith of the sky | B |
| Intense yet low as true love's sigh | B |
| Prophetic voices to my spirit call | G |
| - | |
| So though my voice cease like a moan o' the wind | A |
| Not the less shall I | B |
| Cast on life a kindly eye | B |
| Glad if through its mystery | C |
| Stray gleams of love and truth illume my mind | A |
