| Joyous hour we give thee greeting | B |
| Whither whither art thou fleeting | B |
| Fickle moment prithee stay | A |
| What though mortal joys be hollow | C |
| Pleasures come if sorrows follow | C |
| Though the tocsin sound ere long | D |
| Ding dong Ding dong | D |
| Yet until the shadows fall | E |
| Over one and over all | E |
| Sing a merry madrigal | F |

| Let us dry the ready tear | H |
| Though the hours are surely creeping | B |
| Little need for woeful weeping | B |
| Till the sad sundown is near | I |
| All must sip the cup of sorrow | C |
| I to day and thou to morrow | C |
| This the close of every song | D |
| Ding dong Ding dong | D |
| What though solemn shadows fall | E |
| Sooner later over all | E |
| Sing a merry madrigal | F |
| Fal la | G |
