| Fade slowly from the last gray height | A |
| And leave no gloomy cloud to grieve | B |
| The heart of this enchanted eve | B |
| - | |
| All things beneath the still sky seem | C |
| Bound by the spell of a sweet dream | C |
| In the dusk forest dreamingly | D |
| Droops slowly down each plum d head | E |
| The river flowing softly by | F |
| Dreams of the sea the quiet sea | G |
| Dreams of the unseen stars and I | F |
| Am dreaming of the dreamless dead | E |
| - | |
| The river has a silken sheen | H |
| But red rays of the sunset stain | I |
| Its pictures from the steep shore caught | J |
| Till shades of rock and fern and tree | G |
| Glow like the figures on a pane | I |
| Of some old church by twilight seen | H |
| Or like the rich devices wrought | K |
| In mediaeval tapestry | G |
| - | |
| All lonely in a drifting boat | L |
| Through shine and shade I float and float | L |
| Dreaming and dreaming till I seem | C |
| Part of the picture and the dream | C |
| - | |
| There is no sound to break the spell | D |
| No voice of bird or stir of bough | M |
| Only the lisp of waters wreathing | N |
| In little ripples round the prow | M |
| And a low air like Silence breathing | N |
| That hardly dusks the sleepy swell | D |
| Whereon I float to that strange deep | O |
| That sighs upon the shores of Sleep | O |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| But in the silent heaven blooming | N |
| Behold the wondrous sunset flower | P |
| That blooms and fades within the hour | P |
| The flower of fantasy perfuming | N |
| With subtle melody of scent | Q |
| The blue aisles of the firmament | Q |
| - | |
| For colour music scent are one | R |
| From deeps of air to airless heights | S |
| Lo how he sweeps the splendid sun | R |
| His burning lyre of many lights | S |
| - | |
| See the clear golden lily blowing | N |
| It shines as shone thy gentle soul | D |
| O my most sweet when from the goal | D |
| Of life far gazing thou didst see | G |
| While Death still feared to touch thine eyes | T |
| Where such immortal light was glowing | N |
| The vision of eternity | G |
| The pearly gates of Paradise | U |
| - | |
| Now richer hues the skies illume | C |
| The pale gold blushes into bloom | C |
| Delicate as the flowering | N |
| Of first love in the tender spring | N |
| Of Life when love is wizardry | G |
| That over narrow days can throw | V |
| A glamour and a glory so | V |
| Did thine my Beautiful for me | G |
| So long ago so long ago | V |
| - | |
| So long ago so long ago | V |
| Ah who can Love and Grief estrange | W |
| Or Memory and Sorrow part | Q |
| Lo in the West another change | W |
| A deeper glow a rose of fire | P |
| A rose of passionate desire | P |
| Lone burning in a lonely heart | Q |
| - | |
| A lonely heart a lonely flood | Q |
| The wave that glassed her gleaming head | Q |
| And smiling passed it does not know | V |
| That gleaming head lies dark and low | V |
| The myrtle tree that bends above | X |
| I pray that it may early bud | Q |
| For under its green boughs sat we | G |
| We twain we only hand in hand | Q |
| When Love was lord of all the land | Q |
| It does not know that she is dead | Q |
| And all is over now with Love | X |
| Is over now with Love and me | G |
| - | |
| Once more once more O shining years | Y |
| Gone by once more O vanished days | Z |
| Whose hours flew by on iris wings | A2 |
| Come back and bring my love to me | G |
| My voice faints down the wooded ways | Z |
| And dies along the darkling flood | Q |
| The past is past I cry in vain | I |
| For when did Death an answer deign | I |
| To Love's heart broken questionings | A2 |
| The dead are deaf dust chokes their ears | Y |
| Only the rolling river hears | B2 |
| Far off the calling of the sea | G |
| A shiver strikes through all my blood | Q |
| Mine eyes are full of sudden tears | C2 |
| - | |
| The shadows gather over all | D |
| The valley and the mountains old | Q |
| Shadow on shadow fast they fall | D |
| On glooming green and waning gold | Q |
| And on my heart they gather drear | P |
| Damp as with grave damps dark with fear | P |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| O Sorrow Sorrow couldst thou leave me | G |
| Not one brief hour to dream alone | D2 |
| Hast thou not all my days to grieve me | G |
| My nights are they not all thine own | D2 |
| Thou hauntest me at morning light | Q |
| Thou blackenest the white moonbeams | E2 |
| A hollow voice at noon at night | Q |
| A crowned ghost sitting on a throne | D2 |
| Ruling the kingdom of my dreams | E2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Maker of men Thou gavest breath | F2 |
| Thou gavest love to all that live | G2 |
| Thou rendest loves and lives apart | Q |
| Allwise art Thou who questioneth | F2 |
| Thy will or who can read Thy heart | Q |
| But couldst Thou not in mercy give | H2 |
| A sign to us one little spark | N |
| Of sure hope that the end of all | D |
| Is not concealed beneath the pall | D |
| Or wound up with the winding sheet | Q |
| Who heedeth aught the preacher saith | F2 |
| When eyes wax dim and limbs grow stark | N |
| And fear sits on the darkened bed | Q |
| The dying man turns to the wall | D |
| What hope have we above our dead | Q |
| Tense fingers clutching at the dark | N |
| And hopeless hands that vainly beat | Q |
| Against the iron doors of Death | F2 |
