Back to the flower town side by sideA
The bright months bringB
New born the bridegroom and the brideA
Freedom and springB
-
The sweet land laughs from sea to seaC
Filled full of sunD
All things come back to her being freeC
All things but oneD
-
In many a tender wheaten plotE
Flowers that were deadF
Live and old suns revive but notE
That holier headF
-
By this white wandering waste of seaC
Far north I hearG
One face shall never turn to meC
As once this yearH
-
Shall never smile and turn and restI
On mine as thereJ
Nor one most sacred hand be prestI
Upon my hairJ
-
I came as one whose thoughts half lingerK
Half run beforeL
The youngest to the oldest singerK
That England boreL
-
I found him whom I shall not findM
Till all grief endN
In holiest age our mightiest mindM
Father and friendN
-
But thou if anything endureO
If hope there beC
O spirit that man's life left pureO
Man's death set freeC
-
Not with disdain of days that wereK
Look earthward nowP
Let dreams revive the reverend hairJ
The imperial browP
-
Come back in sleep for in the lifeQ
Where thou art notE
We find none like thee Time and strifeQ
And the world's lotE
-
Move thee no more but love at leastR
And reverent heartS
May move thee royal and releasedR
Soul as thou artS
-
And thou his Florence to thy trustT
Receive and keepU
Keep safe his dedicated dustT
His sacred sleepU
-
So shall thy lovers come from farV
Mix with thy nameW
As morning star with evening starV
His faultless fameW
