| | | I CANNOT tell | |
| How much I love you. | |
| A haunting legend frightens me. | |
| |
| The men who dared for Helen | |
| Knew sacredly | 5 |
| What I have learned and fear: | |
| The swan that sings its soul | |
| Must die, my dear, | |
| Must die. | |
| |
| I cannot tell | 10 |
| How much I love you. | |
| But— | |
| |
| There was a Man | |
| Once, long ago, | |
| Who loved you so divinely, | 15 |
| That he hung upon a cross | |
| And died— | |
| Died shamefully—for you. | |
| |
| My darling, would you understand? | |
| |
| I cannot tell | 20 |
| How much I love you, sweet-my-dear, | |
| Unless I die— | |
| Unless I die. | | | | |
|
