HE	A
Halt here awhile That mossy cushioned seat	B
Is for your queenliness a natural throne	C
As I am fitly couched on this low sward	D
Here at your feet	B
	-
SHE	A
And I in thought at yours	E
My adoration deepest	F
	-
HE	A
Deep so deep	G
I have no thought wherewith to fathom it	H
Or shall I say no flight of song so high	I
To reach the Heaven whence you look down on me	A
My star my far off star	J
	-
SHE	A
If far yet fixed	K
No shifting planet leaving you to seek	L
Where now it shines	M
	-
HE	A
A little light if near	N
Glows livelier than the largest orb in Heaven	O
	-
SHE	A
But little lights burn quickly out and then	P
Another must be kindled Stars gleam on	Q
Unreached but unextinguished Now the song	R
	-
HE	A
Yes yes the song your music to my verse	S
	-
SHE	A
In this sequestered dimple of the hill	T
Forgotten by the furrow none will hear	U
Only the nightingales that misconceive	V
The mid day darkness of the cypresses	S
For curtained night	W
	-
HE	A
And they will hush to hear	U
A sudden singing sweeter than their own	C
Delay not the enchantment but begin	X
	-
SHE	A
singing	Y
If you were here if you were here	U
The cattle bells would sound more clear	N
The cataracts would flash and leap	G
More silvery from steep to steep	G
The farewell of a rosier glow	Z
Soften the summit of the snow	Z
The valley take a tenderer green	A2
In dewy gorge and dim ravine	A2
The loving bramble flowers embrace	S
The rough thorn with a gentler grace	S
The gentian open bluer eyes	S
In bluer air to bluer skies	S
The frail anemone delay	B2
The jonquil hasten on its way	B2
The primrose linger past its time	C2
The violet prolong its prime	C2
And every flower that seeks the light	W
On Alpine lowland Alpine height	W
Wear April's smile without its tear	D2
If you were here if you were here	U
	-
If you were here the Spring would wake	E2
A fuller music in the brake	E2
The mottled misselthrush would pipe	F2
A note more ringing rich and ripe	F2
The whitethroat peer above its nest	G2
With brighter eye and downier breast	G2
The cuckoo greet the amorous year	N
Chanting its joy without its jeer	N
The lark betroth the earth and sky	I
With peals of heavenlier minstrelsy	S
And every wildwood bird rejoice	S
On fleeter wing with sweeter voice	S
If you were here	U
	-
If you were here I too should feel	H2
The moisture of the Springtide steal	H2
Along my veins and rise and roll	I2
Through every fibre of my soul	I2
In my live breast would melt the snow	Z
And all its channels flush and flow	Z
With waves of life and streams of song	R
Frozen and silent all too long	R
A something in each wilding flower	J2
Something in every scented shower	J2
Something in flitting voice and wing	Y
Would drench my heart and bid me sing	Y
Not in this feeble halting note	K2
But like the merle's exulting throat	K2
With carol full and carol clear	N
If you were here if you were here	U
	-
HE	A
Hark How the hills have caught the strain and seem	L2
Loth to surrender it and now enclose	S
Its cadence in the silence of their folds	S
Still as you sang the verses had the wing	Y
Of that which buoyed them and your aery voice	S
Lifted my drooping music from the ground	M2
Now that you cease there is an empty nest	G2
From which the full fledged melody hath flown	C
	-
SHE	A
Dare I with you contend in metaphor	N2
It might not be so fanciful to show	Z
That nest and eggs and music all are yours	S
But modesty in poets is too rare	D2
To be reproved for error Let me then	P
Be crowned full queen of song albeit in sooth	O2
I am but consort owing my degree	A
To the real sceptred Sovereign at my side	P2
But now repay my music and in kind	Q2
Unfolding to my ear the youngest flower	J2
Of song that seems to blossom all the year	N
Delay not the enchantment but begin ''	-
	-
HE	A
reciting Yet you are here yes you are here	U
There's not a voice that wakes the year	N
In vale frequented upland lone	C
But steals some sweetness from your own	C
When dream and darkness have withdrawn	R2
I feel you in the freshening dawn	R2
You fill the noonday's hushed repose	S
You scent the dew of daylight's close	S
The twilight whispers you are nigh	I
The stars announce you in the sky	I
The moon when most alone in space	S
Fills all the heavens with your face	S
In darkest hour of deepest night	W
I see you with the spirit's sight	W
And slumber murmurs in my ear	U
Hush she is here Sleep she is here ''	-
	-
SHE	A
Hark how you bare your secret when you sing	Y
Imagination's universal scope	S2
Can swift endue this gray and shapeless world	T2
With the designs and colour of the sky	I
What want you with our fixed and lumpish forms	S
You unconditioned arbiter of air	D2
Yet you are here yes you are here '' The span	U2
Of nimble fancy leaps the interval	V2
And brings the distant nearer than the near	N
	-
HE	A
Distance is nearer than proximity	A
When distance longs proximity doth not	W2
	-
SHE	A
The near is always distant to the mind	Q2
That craves for satisfaction of its end	X2
Nor doth the distance ever feel so far	J
As when the end is touched Retard that goal	I2
Prolonging appetite beyond the feast	Y2
That feeds anticipation	O
	-
HE	A
Specious foil	Z2
That parries every stroke before 'tis made	A3
Yet surfeit's self doth not more surely cloy	B3
Than endless fasting	Y
	-
SHE	A
Still a swifter cure	C3
Waits on too little than attends too much	D3
While disappointment merely woundeth Hope	S2
The deadly blow by disenchantment dealt	E3
Strikes at the heart of Faith O happy you	F3
The favourites of Fancy who replace	S
Illusion with illusion and conceive	V
Fresh cradles in the dark womb of the grave	G3
While we prosaic victims prove that time	C2
Kills love while leaving loveless life alive	H3
You still divinely duped sing deathless love	I3
And with your wizard music once again	P
Make Winter Spring Yet surely you forgive	J3
That I have too much pity for the flowers	S
Children and poets cull to fling away	B2
To be an April nosegay	Y
	-
HE	A
How you swell	K3
The common chorus Women who are wronged	L3
So roughly by men's undiscerning word	M3
As though one pattern served to show them all	N3
Should be more just to poets These in truth	O2
Diverge from one another nowise less	S
Than women '' vaguely labelled children some	O3
With childish voice and nature lyric bards	S
Weaklings that on life's threshold sweetly wail	P3
But never from that silvery treble pass	S
Into the note and chant of manliness	S
Their love is like their verse a frail desire	J2
A fluttering fountain falling feebly back	Y
Into its shallow origin Next there are	J
The poets of contention wrestlers born	Q3
Who challenge iron Circumstance and fail	P3
Generous and strong withal not strong enough	R3
Since lacking sinewy wisdom hard as life	S3
The love of these is like the lightning spear	N
And shrivels whom it touches They consume	T3
All things within their reach and last of all	N3
Their lonely selves and then through time they tower	J2
Sublime but charred and wear on their high fronts	S
The gloomy glory of the sunlit pine	U3
But the great gods of Song in clear white light	W
The radiance of their godhead calmly dwell	K3
And with immutable cold starlike gaze	S
Scan both the upper and the under world	T2
As it revolves themselves serenely fixed	K
Their bias is the bias of the sphere	N
That turns all ways but turns away from none	O
Save to return to it They have no feud	V3
With gods or men the living or the dead	W3
The past or present and their words complete	B
Life's incompleteness with a healing note	K2
For they are not more sensitive than strong	Y
More wise than tender understanding all	N3
At peace with all at peace with life and death	O2
And love that gives a meaning unto life	S3
And takes from death the meaning and the sting	Y
At peace with hate and every opposite	X3
Were I but one of these presumptuous thought	Y3
Even you the live fulfilment of such dreams	S
As these secrete would hazard well your love	I3
On my more largely loving 'Twould be you	F3
Yes even you that first would flag and fail	P3
In either of my choosing you whose wing	Y
Would droop on mine and pray to be upborne	O
And when my pinions did no more suffice	S
For that their double load then softly down	O
Softly and smoothly as descending lark	Y
That hath fulfilled its rhapsody in Heaven	O
And with diminished music must decline	O
To earthy sounds and	Z3
