O true and tried so well and long	A
Demand not thou a marriage lay	B
In that it is thy marriage day	B
Is music more than any song	A
Nor have I felt so much of bliss	C
Since first he told me that he loved	D
A daughter of our house nor proved	E
Since that dark day a day like this	C
	-
Tho I since then have number d o er	F
Some thrice three years they went and came	G
Remade the blood and changed the frame	G
And yet is love not less but more	H
	-
No longer caring to embalm	I
In dying songs a dead regret	J
But like a statue solid set	J
And moulded in colossal calm	I
	-
Regret is dead but love is more	H
Than in the summers that are flown	K
For I myself with these have grown	K
To something greater than before	H
	-
Which makes appear the songs I made	L
As echoes out of weaker times	M
As half but idle brawling rhymes	M
The sport of random sun and shade	L
	-
But where is she the bridal flower	F
That must he made a wife ere noon	N
She enters glowing like the moon	N
Of Eden on its bridal bower	F
	-
On me she bends her blissful eyes	O
And then on thee they meet thy look	P
And brighten like the star that shook	P
Betwixt the palms of paradise	Q
	-
O when her life was yet in bud	R
He too foretold the perfect rose	S
For thee she grew for thee she grows	S
For ever and as fair as good	T
	-
And thou art worthy full of power	F
As gentle liberal minded great	U
Consistent wearing all that weight	U
Of learning lightly like a flower	F
	-
But now set out the noon is near	V
And I must give away the bride	W
She fears not or with thee beside	W
And me behind her will not fear	V
	-
For I that danced her on my knee	X
That watch d her on her nurse s arm	Y
That shielded all her life from harm	Y
At last must part with her to thee	X
	-
Now waiting to be made a wife	Z
Her feet my darling on the dead	A2
Their pensive tablets round her head	A2
And the most living words of life	Z
	-
Breathed in her ear The ring is on	B2
The wilt thou answer d and again	C2
The wilt thou ask d till out of twain	D2
Her sweet I will has made you one	E2
	-
Now sign your names which shall be read	A2
Mute symbols of a joyful morn	F2
By village eyes as yet unborn	F2
The names are sign d and overhead	A2
	-
Begins the clash and clang that tells	G2
The joy to every wandering breeze	H2
The blind wall rocks and on the trees	H2
The dead leaf trembles to the bells	G2
	-
O happy hour and happier hours	I2
Await them Many a merry face	J2
Salutes them maidens of the place	J2
That pelt us in the porch with flowers	I2
	-
O happy hour behold the bride	W
With him to whom her hand I gave	K2
They leave the porch they pass the grave	K2
That has to day its sunny side	W
	-
To day the grave is bright for me	X
For them the light of life increased	L2
Who stay to share the morning feast	L2
Who rest to night beside the sea	X
	-
Let all my genial spirits advance	M2
To meet and greet a whiter sun	E2
My drooping memory will not shun	E2
The foaming grape of eastern France	M2
	-
It circles round and fancy plays	N2
And hearts are warm d and faces bloom	O2
As drinking health to bride and groom	O2
We wish them store of happy days	N2
	-
Nor count me all to blame if I	P2
Conjecture of a stiller guest	Q2
Perchance perchance among the rest	Q2
And tho in silence wishing joy	R2
	-
But they must go the time draws on	B2
And those white favour d horses wait	U
They rise but linger it is late	U
Farewell we kiss and they are gone	S2
	-
A shade falls on us like the dark	T2
From little cloudlets on the grass	U2
But sweeps away as out we pass	U2
To range the woods to roam the park	T2
	-
Discussing how their courtship grew	V2
And talk of others that are wed	A2
And how she look d and what he said	A2
And back we come at fall of dew	V2
	-
Again the feast the speech the glee	X
The shade of passing thought the wealth	W2
Of words and wit the double health	W2
The crowning cup the three times three	X
	-
And last the dance till I retire	X2
Dumb is that tower which spake so loud	Y2
And high in heaven the streaming cloud	Y2
And on the downs a rising fire	F
	-
And rise O moon from yonder down	Z2
Till over down and over dale	A3
All night the shining vapour sail	A3
And pass the silent lighted town	Z2
	-
The white faced halls the glancing rills	U2
And catch at every mountain head	A2
And o er the friths that branch and spread	A2
Their sleeping silver thro the hills	U2
	-
And touch with shade the bridal doors	U2
With tender gloom the roof the wall	B3
And breaking let the splendour fall	B3
To spangle all the happy shores	U2
	-
By which they rest and ocean sounds	U2
And star and system rolling past	C3
A soul shall draw from out the vast	C3
And strike his being into bounds	U2
	-
And moved thro life of lower phase	U2
Result in man be born and think	D3
And act and love a closer link	D3
Betwixt us and the crowning race	U2
	-
Of those that eye to eye shall look	P
On knowledge under whose command	E3
Is Earth and Earth s and in their hand	E3
Is Nature like an open book	P
	-
No longer half akin to brute	F3
For all we thought and loved and did	G3
And hoped and suffer d is but seed	H3
Of what in them is flower and fruit	F3
	-
Whereof the man that with me trod	I3
This planet was a noble type	J3
Appearing ere the times were ripe	J3
That friend of mine who lives in God	I3
	-
That God which ever lives and loves	U2
One God one law one element	K3
And one far off divine event	L3
To which the whole creation moves	U2
