Of love that never found his earthly close	A
What sequel Streaming eyes and breaking hearts	B
Or all the same as if he had not been	C
Not so Shall Error in the round of time	D
Still father Truth O shall the braggart shout	E
For some blind glimpse of freedom work itself	F
Thro' madness hated by the wise to law	G
System and empire Sin itself be found	H
The cloudy porch oft opening on the Sun	I
And only he this wonder dead become	J
Mere highway dust or year by year alone	K
Sit brooding in the ruins of a life	L
Nightmare of youth the spectre of himself	F
If this were thus if this indeed were all	M
Better the narrow brain the stony heart	N
The staring eye glazed o'er with sapless days	O
The long mechanic pacings to and fro	P
The set gray life and apathetic end	Q
But am I not the nobler thro' thy love	R
O three times less unworthy likewise thou	S
Art more thro' Love and greater than thy years	T
The Sun will run his orbit and the Moon	U
Her circle Wait and Love himself will bring	V
The drooping flower of knowledge changed to fruit	W
Of wisdom Wait my faith is large in Time	D
And that which shapes it to some perfect end	Q
Will some one say then why not ill for good	X
Why took ye not your pastime To that man	Y
My work shall answer since I knew the right	Z
And did it for a man is not as God	A2
But then most Godlike being most a man	Y
So let me think 'tis well for thee and me	B2
Ill fated that I am what lot is mine	C2
Whose foresight preaches peace my heart so slow	P
To feel it For how hard it seem'd to me	B2
When eyes love languid thro' half tears would dwell	D2
One earnest earnest moment upon mine	C2
Then not to dare to see when thy low voice	E2
Faltering would break its syllables to keep	F2
My own full tuned hold passion in a leash	G2
And not leap forth and fall about thy neck	H2
And on thy bosom deep desired relief	I2
Rain out the heavy mist of tears that weigh'd	J2
Upon my brain my senses and my soul	K2
For love himself took part against himself	F
To warn us off and Duty loved of Love	R
O this world's curse beloved but hated came	L2
Like Death betwixt thy dear embrace and mine	C2
And crying Who is this behold thy bride	M2
She push'd me from thee	B2
If the sense is hard	N2
To alien ears I did not speak to these	O2
No not to thee but to thyself in me	B2
Hard is my doom and thine thou knowest it all	M
Could Love part thus was it not well to speak	P2
To have spoken once It could not but be well	D2
The slow sweet hours that bring us all things good	X
The slow sad hours that bring us all things ill	Q2
And all good things from evil brought the night	Z
In which we sat together and alone	K
And to the want that hollow'd all the heart	N
Gave utterance by the yearning of an eye	R2
That burn'd upon its object thro' such tears	S2
As flow but once a life	L
The trance gave way	T2
To those caresses when a hundred times	U2
In that last kiss which never was the last	V2
Farewell like endless welcome lived and died	M2
Then follow'd counsel comfort and the words	W2
That make a man feel strong in speaking truth	X2
Till now the dark was worn and overhead	Y2
The lights of sunset and of sunrise mix'd	Z2
In that brief night the summer night that paused	A3
Among her stars to hear us stars that hung	B3
Love charm'd to listen all the wheels of Time	D
Spun round in station but the end had come	J
O then like those who clench their nerves to rush	C3
Upon their dissolution we two rose	D3
There closing like an individual life	L
In one blind cry of passion and of pain	E3
Like bitter accusation ev'n to death	F3
Caught up the whole of love and utter'd it	G3
And bade adieu for ever	H3
Live yet live	I3
Shall sharpest pathos blight us knowing all	M
Life needs for life is possible to will	Q2
Live happy tend thy flowers be tended by	R2
My blessing Should my Shadow cross thy thoughts	J3
Too sadly for their peace remand it thou	S
For calmer hours to Memory's darkest hold	K3
If not to be forgotten not at once	L3
Not all forgotten Should it cross thy dreams	M3
O might it come like one that looks content	N3
With quiet eyes unfaithful to the truth	X2
And point thee forward to a distant light	Z
Or seem to lift a burthen from thy heart	N
And leave thee fre r till thou wake refresh'd	O3
Then when the first low matin chirp hath grown	K
Full quire and morning driv'n her plow of pearl	P3
Far furrowing into light the mounded rack	Q3
Beyond the fair green field and eastern sea	B2
