| A dream of you | B |
| Not as you seemed | A |
| When you were late unkind | C |
| And blind | C |
| To my eyes' pleading for a debt long due | B |
| But touched and true | B |
| And all inclined | C |
| To tenderest fancies on love's inmost theme | D |
| How sweet you were to me and ah how kind | C |
| In that dear dream | D |

| I felt | E |
| Your lips on mine | F |
| Mingle and melt | E |
| And your cheek touch my cheek | G |
| I weak | G |
| With vain desires and askings for a sign | F |
| Of love divine | F |
| Found my grief break | H |
| And wept and wept in an unending stream | D |
| Of sudden joy set free yet could not speak | G |
| Dumb in my dream | D |

| I knew | B |
| You loved me then | I |
| And I knew too | B |
| The bliss of souls in Heaven | J |
| New shriven | J |
| Who look with pity on still sinning men | J |
| And turn again | J |
| To be forgiven | J |
| In the dear arms of their God holding them | K |
| And spend themselves in praise from morn till even | J |
| Nor break their dream | D |
| - | |
| I woke | L |
| In my mid bliss | M |
| At midnight's stroke | L |
| And knew you lost and gone | J |
| Forlorn | J |
| I called you back to my unfinished kiss | M |
| But only this | M |
| One word of scorn | J |
| You answered me 'Twas better loved to seem | D |
| Than loved to be since all love is forsworn | J |
| Always a dream '' | - |
