| Shone on my heart and made it bright | F |
| With fulness of celestial light | F |

| And gazed out through my briny tears | Q |
| Upon the future lonely years | R |
| Upon the cold bleak cheerless years | R |
| Till Earth should ope her grassy breast | S |
| And take me to my welcome rest | S |
| Where she in Death's cold arms lay prest | S |
| This day it seems Ah me this day | N |
| Though years ago sad years ago | A |

| Long years ago and yet I still | T |
| Gaze through moist eyes upon the Past | U |
| The cherish'd unforgotten Past | U |
| Gaze onward through the coming days | V |
| And wonder with a sweet amaze | V |
| What sunrise with its rosy light | F |
| Will bring her to my longing sight | F |
| What sunset with its golden glow | A |
| Will o'er the long sought slumber flow | A |
| Amid whose visions she shall gleam | W |
| As once she did through youth's sweet dream | W |
| Ah years ago long years ago | A |
