O living will that shalt endure	A
When all that seems shall suffer shock	B
Rise in the spiritual rock	B
Flow thro' our deeds and make them pure	A
That we may lift from out of dust	C
A voice as unto him that hears	D
A cry above the conquer'd years	E
To one that with us works and trust	C
With faith that comes of self control	F
The truths that never can be proved	G
Until we close with all we loved	H
And all we flow from soul in soul	F
	-
O true and tried so well and long	I
Demand not thou a marriage lay	J
In that it is thy marriage day	J
Is music more than any song	I
	-
Nor have I felt so much of bliss	K
Since first he told me that he loved	H
A daughter of our house nor proved	G
Since that dark day a day like this	K
	-
Tho' I since then have number'd o'er	L
Some thrice three years they went and came	M
Remade the blood and changed the frame	M
And yet is love not less but more	N
	-
No longer caring to embalm	O
In dying songs a dead regret	P
But like a statue solid set	P
And moulded in colossal calm	O
	-
Regret is dead but love is more	N
Than in the summers that are flown	Q
For I myself with these have grown	Q
To something greater than before	N
	-
Which makes appear the songs I made	R
As echoes out of weaker times	S
As half but idle brawling rhymes	S
The sport of random sun and shade	R
	-
But where is she the bridal flower	L
That must be made a wife ere noon	T
She enters glowing like the moon	T
Of Eden on its bridal bower	L
	-
On me she bends her blissful eyes	U
And then on thee they meet thy look	V
And brighten like the star that shook	V
Betwixt the palms of paradise	W
	-
O when her life was yet in bud	X
He too foretold the perfect rose	Y
For thee she grew for thee she grows	Y
For ever and as fair as good	Z
	-
And thou art worthy full of power	L
As gentle liberal minded great	A2
Consistent wearing all that weight	A2
Of learning lightly like a flower	L
	-
But now set out the noon is near	B2
And I must give away the bride	C2
She fears not or with thee beside	C2
And me behind her will not fear	B2
	-
For I that danced her on my knee	D2
That watch'd her on her nurse's arm	E2
That shielded all her life from harm	E2
At last must part with her to thee	D2
	-
Now waiting to be made a wife	F2
Her feet my darling on the dead	G2
Their pensive tablets round her head	G2
And the most living words of life	F2
	-
Breathed in her ear The ring is on	H2
The wilt thou answer'd and again	I2
The wilt thou ask'd till out of twain	J2
Her sweet I will has made you one	K2
	-
Now sign your names which shall be read	G2
Mute symbols of a joyful morn	L2
By village eyes as yet unborn	L2
The names are sign'd and overhead	G2
	-
Begins the clash and clang that tells	M2
The joy to every wandering breeze	N2
The blind wall rocks and on the trees	N2
The dead leaf trembles to the bells	M2
	-
O happy hour and happier hours	O2
Await them Many a merry face	P2
Salutes them maidens of the place	P2
That pelt us in the porch with flowers	O2
	-
O happy hour behold the bride	C2
With him to whom her hand I gave	Q2
They leave the porch they pass the grave	Q2
That has to day its sunny side	C2
	-
To day the grave is bright for me	D2
For them the light of life increased	R2
Who stay to share the morning feast	R2
Who rest to night beside the sea	D2
	-
Let all my genial spirits advance	S2
To meet and greet a whiter sun	K2
My drooping memory will not shun	K2
The foaming grape of eastern France	S2
	-
It circles round and fancy plays	T2
And hearts are warm'd and faces bloom	U2
As drinking health to bride and groom	U2
We wish them store of happy days	T2
	-
Nor count me all to blame if I	V2
Conjecture of a stiller guest	W2
Perchance perchance among the rest	W2
And tho' in silence wishing joy	X2
	-
	-
But they must go the time draws on	H2
And those white favour'd horses wait	A2
They rise but linger it is late	A2
Farewell we kiss and they are gone	Y2
	-
	-
A shade falls on us like the dark	Z2
From little cloudlets on the grass	A3
But sweeps away as out we pass	A3
To range the woods to roam the park	Z2
	-
	-
Discussing how their courtship grew	B3
And talk of others that are wed	G2
And how she look'd and what he said	G2
And back we come at fall of dew	B3
	-
	-
Again the feast the speech the glee	D2
The shade of passing thought the wealth	C3
Of words and wit the double health	C3
The crowning cup the three times three	D2
	-
	-
And last the dance till I retire	D3
Dumb is that tower which spake so loud	E3
And high in heaven the streaming cloud	E3
And on the downs a rising fire	L
	-
	-
And rise O moon from yonder down	F3
Till over down and over dale	G3
All night the shining vapour sail	G3
And pass the silent lighted town	F3
	-
	-
The white faced halls the glancing rills	A3
And catch at every mountain head	G2
And o'er the friths that branch and spread	G2
Their sleeping silver thro' the hills	A3
	-
	-
And touch with shade the bridal doors	A3
With tender gloom the roof the wall	H3
And breaking let the splendour fall	H3
To spangle all the happy shores	A3
	-
	-
By which they rest and ocean sounds	A3
And star and system rolling past	I3
A soul shall draw from out the vast	I3
And strike his being into bounds	A3
	-
	-
And moved thro' life of lower phase	A3
Result in man be born and think	J3
And act and love a closer link	J3
Betwixt us and the crowning race	A3
	-
	-
Of those that eye to eye shall look	V
On knowledge under whose command	K3
Is Earth and Earth's and in their hand	K3
Is Nature like an open book	V
	-
	-
No longer half akin to brute	L3
For all we thought and loved and did	M3
And hoped and suffer'd is but seed	N3
Of what in them is flower and fruit	L3
	-
	-
Whereof the man that with me trod	O3
This planet was a noble type	P3
Appearing ere the times were ripe	P3
That friend of mine who lives in God	O3
	-
	-
That God which ever lives and loves	A3
One God one law one element	Q3
And one far off divine event	R3
To which the whole creation moves	A3
