| Is her sad too silent face | A |
| All my right to call her mine | B |
| The twin tears that on it shine | B |
| Tears that tell of griefs long hid | C |
| In the shadows of each lid | C |
| And of doubts that wound her sore | D |
| Our twin lives shall meet no more | D |
| Nay my right and title this | E |
| That she gave me one shy kiss | E |
| 'Twixt the dawning and the day | F |
| Benediction on my way | F |
| When the vain world was asleep | G |
| And no ear to hear us weep | G |
| And that once my fingers pressed | H |
| The warm treasures of her breast | H |
| Just a moment and the truth | I |
| Learned of her close hidden youth | I |
| With its joys and sweetnesses | E |
| Deep beyond all wit to guess | E |
| All but mine and what might be | J |
| Were she wholly joined with me | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| Such my title is and treasure | K |
| Such my glory beyond measure | K |
| Such my thought for the new years | E |
| Burdened with what doubts and fears | E |
| Yet one day to claim her mine | B |
| Here beyond this shadowy Rhine | B |
| Far from her and journeying still | L |
| Feel I her young pulses thrill | L |
| Her warm body nestled close | E |
| To my own with all its woes | E |
| And I know that some far hour | K |
| I shall call to her with power | K |
| When the sun is fast in prison | M |
| And the midnight stars have risen | M |
| Clear and kind in a warm sky | N |
| And the shepherd's hour is nigh | N |
| In a language she shall heed | O |
| Life is fleeting love hath need | O |
| Time it is tears should not be | J |
| Come my love and dwell with me '' | - |
| And I know that without stay | F |
| 'Twixt the dawning and the day | F |
| When the vain world is asleep | G |
| And no ear to hear her weep | G |
| She shall dry her tears and come | P |
| And we too through Christendom | P |
| And beyond this shadowy Rhine | B |
| With its fields of corn and wine | B |
| And the snow clad Alps and Rome | Q |
| And the blue sea capped with foam | Q |
| And far famed Constantinople | R |
| With its domes of pearl and opal | R |
| And the sea of Marmora | K |
| Where the dolphins sport and play | F |
| And the utmost isles of Greece | E |
| Guarding still their golden fleece | E |
| As when Paris to them came | S |
| With his Helen all aflame | S |
| On their glorious honeymoon | T |
| And so on from noon to noon | T |
| Journeying still and still beyond | U |
| Fond as they and yet more fond | U |
| To the ancient tearless East | V |
| Shall be borne as to a feast | V |
| And sit down there our lives long | W |
| With Love's silence for our song | W |
| And Love's guile for our disguise | E |
| While I teach her to be wise | E |
| And my title to her grace | E |
| Shall the smiles be on her face | E |
| Her blue eyes where no tears be | J |
| Being wholly joined with me | J |
