| If you to me be cold | B |
| Or I be false to you | C |
| The world will go on I think | D |
| Just as it used to do | C |
| The clouds will flirt with the moon | E |
| The sun will kiss the sea | F |
| The wind to the trees will whisper | G |
| And laugh at you and me | F |
| But the sun will not shine so bright | H |
| The clouds will not seem so white | H |
| To one as they will to two | C |
| So I think you had better be kind | I |
| And I had best be true | C |
| And let the old love go on | J |
| Just as it used to do | C |

| II | A |
| If the whole of a page be read | K |
| If a book be finished through | C |
| Still the world may read on I think | D |
| Just as it used to do | C |
| For other lovers will con | J |
| The pages that we have passed | L |
| And the treacherous gold of the binding | M |
| Will glitter unto the last | L |
| But lids have a lonely look | N |
| And one may not read the book | N |
| It opens only to two | C |
| So I think you had better be kind | I |
| And I had best be true | C |
| And let the reading go on | J |
| Just as it used to do | C |
| - | |
| III | A |
| If we who have sailed together | G |
| Flit out of each other's view | C |
| The world will sail on I think | D |
| Just as it used to do | C |
| And we may reckon by stars | O |
| That flash from different skies | P |
| And another of love's pirates | Q |
| May capture my lost prize | P |
| But ships long time together | G |
| Can better the tempest weather | G |
| Than any other two | C |
| So I think you had better be kind | I |
| And I had best be true | C |
| That we together may sail | R |
| Just as we used to do | C |
