| And the sun hath sunk to rest | B |
| Seeking like a fiery lover | A |
| The bosom of the blushing west | B |
| - | |
| The faithful night keeps watch and ward | C |
| Raising the moon her silver shield | D |
| And summoning the stars to guard | E |
| The slumbers of my fair Mathilde | F |

| The faithful night Now all things lie | G |
| Hid by her mantle dark and dim | H |
| In pious hope I hither hie | I |
| And humbly chant mine ev'ning hymn | H |

| Thou art my prayer my saint my shrine | J |
| For never holy pilgrim kneel'd | F |
| Or wept at feet more pure than thine | J |
| My virgin love my sweet Mathilde | F |
