7  -6*  6  -5  -5*  6   -5   6   -5  5  -4
Af-ter the day has sung its song of sor-row
 7  -6* 6  -6* -6*  -7  7   -6*  6   -7
And one by one the gold-en stars ap-pear
7 -6*  6  -5   -5*   6   -5 -3   -5  5  -4
I lin-ger yet where once we met, be-lov-ed
-4   -4  -4 -6*  -4   -5  5*  -4  -3*  -4
And seem to feel thy spir-it still is near
-5    -5     -5   7
The flow'rs have fled 
 7    7    -6*  6  -5*   6     -4
That blos-som'd in the spring-tide
-4   -4   -4   -8   6    7    -6*    6  -5* 6
The birds are mute that sang their songs a-bove
 6  -5    5*  -6*  -6*   -7   6 -6* 7  7  -6*
And tho' the years have drift-ed us a-sun-der
 -5  -5  -5   -3   -3   -4  -4   4*  -5 -99*
Time can-not break the gold-en chain of love
 -8   -7  7  -6*   6  -5   -5* -6*   6   6   -5
Still we can love, al-tho' the shad-ows gath-er
  7  -6*  6   -7   7  -6*  6    -4   5* -99*
Still we can hope, un-til the clouds be past
 -8  -7 7   -6*   6   -5  -5*  -6*   6  6   -5
Come to my heart and whis-per thro' the si-lence
 7   7*  7*   -7     6    7    -6*   6  -6*..7..
Hope on dear heart, our lives shall meet at last
 7   7*  7    -7     6    7    -6*   7   -7  -8
Hope on dear heart, our lives shall meet at last
 -8  8   8*   -9    -5    6    -6*   -7  7  7...
Hope on dear heart, our lives shall meet at last
