The terrible night watch is over	A
I turn where I lie	B
To eastward my dim eyes discover	A
Faint streaks in the sky	B
Faint streaks on a faint light that dapples	C
And dawns like the ripening of apples	C
Closes with darkness and grapples	C
And darkness must die	B
	-
And the dawn finds us where the dusk found us	C
The quick and the dead	D
Thou dawn slaying darkness around us	C
Oh slay me instead	D
Thou pitiless earth that would sever	A
Twain souls reuniting them never	A
Oh gape and engulf me for ever	A
Oh cover my head	D
	-
The toils that men strive with stout hearted	E
The fears that men fly	B
I have known them but they have departed	E
And thou hast gone by	B
Men toiling and straining and striving	F
Are glad peradventure for living	F
I render for life no thanksgiving	F
Glad only to die	B
	-
Too alike to me now are all changes	C
Naught gladdens naught grieves	C
Alike now pale snow on the ranges	C
Pale gold on the sheaves	C
Alike now the hum of glad bees on	G
Green boughs and the sigh of sad trees on	G
Sere uplands the fall of the season	H
The fall of the leaves	C
	-
Alike now each wind blows the breezes	C
That kiss where they roam	I
The breath of the March wind that freezes	C
In the rime of the loam	I
The storm blast that lashes and scourges	C
And rends the white crests of the surges	C
As it sweeps with the thunder of dirges	C
Across the sea foam	I
	-
Alike now all rainfall and down fall	J
Foul seasons and fair	K
Let the rose on my patch or the thorn fall	J
I heed not nor care	K
Nor for grey light of dawn nor for dun light	L
Of dusk nor for dazzle of sunlight	L
At noon shall I seek light or shun light	L
Seek warmth or seek care	K
	-
Nor for breaking of fast neither grateful	M
Nor for quenching of thirst	N
In the dawn of the eventide hateful	M
In the noontide accurst	N
In the watch of the night sleep forsaken	H
Till that sleep comes no watch shall re waken	H
Be the best things of life never taken	H
Never feared be the worst	N
	-
Skies laugh and buds bloom and birds warble	M
At breaking of day	N
Without and within on grey marble	M
The light glimmers grey	N
O pale silent mouth surely this is	C
The spot where death strikes and life misses	C
Warm lips pressing cold lips waste kisses	C
Clay cold as cold clay	N
	-
Through sunset and twilight and nightfall	J
And night watches bleak	O
We have lain thus Now broad rays of light fall	J
And flicker and streak	O
The death chamber glancing and shining	F
Where death and dead life lie reclining	F
My hand with her hand intertwining	F
My cheek to her cheek	O
	-
I adjure thee by days spent together	A
So sad and so few	P
By the seasons of fair and foul weather	A
By the rose and the rue	P
By the storms and the joys of past hours	C
By the thorns of the earth and the flowers	C
By the sun of the skies and the showers	C
By the mist and the dew	P
	-
By the time that annihilates all things	C
Our woes and our crimes	C
By the gath'ring of great things and small things	C
At the end of all times	C
Let thy soul answer mine through the portal	M
Of the grave if the soul be immortal	M
As the wise men of all climes have taught all	J
The fools of all climes	C
	-
If these men speak truth I come quickly	Q
My life does thee wrong	R
Dost thou languish in shades peopled thickly	Q
With phantoms that throng	R
Have they known thee my love Hast thou known one	H
To welcome the stranger and lone one	H
O loved one O lost one mine own one	H
I tarry not long	R
	-
The flower that no more shall enwreath us	C
Turns sunward the dove	S
Sails skyward the grass is beneath us	C
The birds are above	S
Those skies an illegible letter	A
Seem fairer and farther scarce better	A
Than earth to man crushed by life's fetter	A
When lifeless is love	S
	-
And none can love twice says the heathen	H
And none can twice die	N
More hopeful than these are are we then	T
With hopes past the sky	N
Yon judge will He swerve from just sentence	C
For tardy fear stricken repentance	C
Ask those who came hither and went hence	C
But hope no reply	N
	-
And He who shall judge us in light	N
How then shall I trust	N
In Him having sinned in His sight	N
Is jealous and just	N
So priests taught me once in their learning	F
Perplexed slower still in discerning	F
Are ashes to ashes returning	F
And dust seeking dust	N
	-
Can life thrive when life's love expires	C
Are life and love twain	U
Men say so Nay all men are liars	C
Or all lives are vain	U
Let our dead loves and lives be forgotten	H
With the ripening of fruits that are rotten	H
So we loving fools dust begotten	V
Go dustward again	T
