Dawn	A
	-
On skies still and starlit	B
White lustres take hold	C
And grey flushes scarlet	D
And red flashes gold	C
And sun glories cover	E
The rose shed above her	E
Like lover and lover	E
They flame and unfold	C
	-
	-
	-
Still bloom in the garden	F
Green grass plot fresh lawn	A
Though pasture lands harden	F
And drought fissures yawn	A
While leaves not a few fall	G
Let rose leaves for you fall	G
Leaves pearl strung with dew fall	G
And gold shot with dawn	A
	-
Does the grass plot remember	E
The fall of your feet	H
In autumn's red ember	E
When drought leagues with heat	H
When the last of the roses	I
Despairingly closes	I
In the lull that reposes	I
Ere storm winds wax fleet	H
	-
Love's melodies languish	J
In Chastelard's strain	K
And Abelard's anguish	J
Is love's pleasant pain	K
And Sappho rehearses	I
Love's blessings and curses	I
In passionate verses	I
Again and again	L
	-
And I I have heard of	M
All these long ago	N
Yet never one word of	M
Their song lore I know	N
Not under my finger	E
In songs of the singer	E
Love's litanies linger	E
Love's rhapsodies flow	N
	-
Fresh flowers in a basket	D
An offering to you	O
Though you did not ask it	B
Unbidden I strew	O
With heat and drought striving	P
Some blossoms still living	P
May render thanksgiving	P
For dawn and for dew	O
	-
The garlands I gather	E
The rhymes I string fast	Q
Are hurriedly rather	E
Than heedlessly cast	Q
Yon tree's shady awning	P
Is short'ning and warning	P
Far spent is the morning	P
And I must ride fast	Q
	-
Songs empty yet airy	R
I've striven to write	S
For failure dear Mary	R
Forgive me Good night	S
Songs and flowers may beset you	O
I can only regret you	O
While the soil where I met you	O
Recedes from my sight	S
	-
For the sake of past hours	I
For the love of old times	I
Take A Basket of Flowers	I
And a bundle of rhymes	I
Though all the bloom perish	J
E'en YOUR hand can cherish	J
While churlish and bearish	J
The verse jingle chimes	I
	-
And Eastward by Nor'ward	T
Looms sadly my track	U
And I must ride forward	V
And still I look back	U
Look back ah how vainly	R
For while I see plainly	R
My hands on the reins lie	W
Uncertain and slack	U
	-
The warm wind breathes strong breath	X
The dust dims mine eye	W
And I draw one long breath	X
And stifle one sigh	W
Green slopes softly shaded	Y
Have flitted and faded	Z
My dreams flit as they did	Y
Good night and Good bye	W
	-
	-
	-
Dusk	A2
	-
Lost rose end my story	R
Dead core and dry husk	A2
Departed thy glory	R
And tainted thy musk	A2
Night spreads her dark limbs on	B2
The face of the dim sun	F
So flame fades to crimson	F
And crimson to dusk	A2
