| At evenglow I stand | B |
| Beside an opaline strange sea | A |
| That rings a sunset land | B |
| - | |
| The rich lights fade out one by one | C |
| And like a peony | A |
| Drowning in wine the crimson sun | C |
| Sinks down in that strange sea | A |
| - | |
| His wake across the ocean floor | D |
| In a long glory lies | E |
| Like a gold wave way to the shore | D |
| Of some sea paradise | F |
| - | |
| My dream flies after him and I | G |
| Am in another land | B |
| The sun sets in another sky | G |
| And we sit hand in hand | B |
| - | |
| Gray eyes look into mine such eyes | E |
| I think the angel's are | H |
| Soft as the soft light in the skies | E |
| When shines the morning star | H |
| - | |
| And tremulous as morn when thin | I |
| Gold lights begin to glow | J |
| Revealing the bright soul within | I |
| As dawn the sun below | J |
| - | |
| So hand in hand we watch the sun | C |
| Burn down the Western deeps | E |
| Dreaming a charmed dream as one | C |
| Who in enchantment sleeps | E |
| - | |
| A dream of how we twain some day | K |
| Careless of map or chart | L |
| Will both take ship and sail away | K |
| Into the sunset's heart | L |
| - | |
| Our ship shall be of sandal built | M |
| Like ships in old world tales | E |
| Carven with cunning art and gilt | M |
| And winged with scented sails | E |
| - | |
| Of silver silk whereon the red | N |
| Great gladioli burn | O |
| A rainbow flag at her masthead | N |
| A rose flag at her stern | O |
| - | |
| And perching on the point above | P |
| Wherefrom the pennon blows | E |
| The figure of a flying dove | P |
| And in her beak a rose | E |
| - | |
| And from the fading land the breeze | E |
| Shall bring us blowing low | J |
| Old odours and old memories | E |
| And airs of long ago | J |
| - | |
| A melody that has no words | E |
| Of mortal speech a part | L |
| Yet touching all the deepest chords | E |
| That tremble in the heart | L |
| - | |
| A scented song blown oversea | E |
| As though from bowers of bloom | Q |
| A wind harp in a lilac tree | E |
| Breathed music and perfume | Q |
| - | |
| And we no more with longings pale | R |
| Will smile to hear it blow | J |
| I in the shadow of the sail | R |
| You in the sunset glow | J |
| - | |
| For with the fading land our fond | S |
| Old fears shall all fade out | T |
| Paled by the light from shores beyond | S |
| The dread of Death or Doubt | T |
| - | |
| And from a gloomy cloud above | P |
| When Death his shadow flings | E |
| The Spirit of Immortal Love | P |
| Will shield us with his wings | E |
| - | |
| He is the lord of dreams divine | U |
| And lures us with his smiles | E |
| Along the splendour opaline | V |
| Unto the Blessed Isles | E |
