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