I	A
WHITE ROSE in red rose garden	B
Is not so white	C
Snowdrops that plead for pardon	B
And pine for fright	C
Because the hard East blows	D
Over their maiden rows	D
Grow not as this face grows from pale to bright	C
	-
Behind the veil forbidden	B
Shut up from sight	C
Love is there sorrow hidden	B
Is there delight	C
Is joy thy dower or grief	E
White rose of weary leaf	E
Late rose whose life is brief whose loves are light	C
	-
Soft snows that hard winds harden	B
Till each flake bite	C
Fill all the flowerless garden	B
Whose flowers took flight	C
Long since when summer ceased	F
And men rose up from feast	F
And warm west wind grew east and warm day night	C
	-
II	A
Come snow come wind or thunder	G
High up in air	H
I watch my face and wonder	G
At my bright hair	H
Nought else exalts or grieves	I
The rose at heart that heaves	I
With love of her own leaves and lips that pair	H
	-
She knows not loves that kissed her	G
She knows not where	H
Art thou the ghost my sister	G
White sister there	H
Am I the ghost who knows	D
My hand a fallen rose	D
Lies snow white on white snows and takes no care	H
	-
I cannot see what pleasures	J
Or what pains were	G
What pale new loves and treasures	J
New years will bear	H
What beam will fall what shower	G
What grief or joy for dower	K
But one thing knows the flower the flower is fair	H
	-
III	A
Glad but not flushed with gladness	J
Since joys go by	A
Sad but not bent with sadness	J
Since sorrows die	A
Deep in the gleaming glass	J
She sees all past things pass	J
And all sweet life that was lie down and lie	A
	-
There glowing ghosts of flowers	J
Draw down draw nigh	A
And wings of swift spent hours	J
Take flight and fly	A
She sees by formless gleams	J
She hears across cold streams	J
Dead mouths of many dreams that sing and sigh	A
	-
Face fallen and white throat lifted	L
With sleepless eye	A
She sees old loves that drifted	L
She knew not why	A
Old loves and faded fears	J
Float down a stream that hears	J
The flowing of all men s tears beneath the sky	A
