| I tell you hush no word of sneering scorn | C |
| True fallen but God knows how deep her sorrow | D |
| Poor girl too many like her only born | C |
| To love one day to sin and die the morrow | D |
| What know you of her struggles or her grief | E |
| Or what wild storms of want and woe and pain | F |
| Tore down her soul from honor As a leaf | E |
| From autumn branches or a drop of rain | F |
| That hung in frailest splendor from a bough | G |
| Bright glistening in the sunlight of God's day | H |
| So had she clung to virtue once But now | G |
| See Heaven's clear pearl polluted with earth's clay | H |
| The sin is yours with your accursed gold | I |
| Man's wealth is master woman's soul the slave | J |
| Some purest water still the mire may hold | I |
| Is there no hope for her no power to save | J |
| Yea once again to draw up from the clay | H |
| The fallen raindrop till it shine above | K |
| Or save a fallen soul needs but one ray | H |
| Of Heaven's sunshine or of human love | K |
