From the depths of the green garden closes	A
Where the summer in darkness dozes	A
Till autumn pluck from his hand	B
An hour glass that holds not a sand	B
From the maze that a flower belt encloses	A
To the stones and sea grass on the strand	B
How red was the reign of the roses	A
Over the rose crowned land	B
	-
The year of the rose is brief	C
From the first blade blown to the sheaf	C
From the thin green leaf to the gold	D
It has time to be sweet and grow old	D
To triumph and leave not a leaf	C
For witness in winter's sight	E
How lovers once in the light	E
Would mix their breath with its breath	F
And its spirit was quenched not of night	E
As love is subdued not of death	F
	-
In the red rose land not a mile	G
Of the meadows from stile to stile	G
Of the valleys from stream to stream	H
But the air was a long sweet dream	H
And the earth was a sweet wide smile	G
Red mouthed of a goddess returned	I
From the sea which had borne her and burned	I
That with one swift smile of her mouth	J
Looked full on the north as it yearned	I
And the north was more than the south	J
	-
For the north when winter was long	K
In his heart had made him a song	K
And clothed it with wings of desire	L
And shod it with shoon as of fire	L
To carry the tale of his wrong	K
To the south west wind by the sea	A
That none might bear it but he	A
To the ear of the goddess unknown	M
Who waits till her time shall be	A
To take the world for a throne	M
	-
In the earth beneath and above	N
In the heaven where her name is love	N
She warms with light from her eyes	A
The seasons of life as they rise	A
And her eyes are as eyes of a dove	N
But the wings that lift her and bear	O
As an eagle's and all her hair	O
As fire by the wind's breath curled	P
And her passage is song through the air	O
And her presence is spring through the world	P
	-
So turned she northward and came	Q
And the white thorn land was aflame	Q
With the fires that were shed from her feet	R
That the north by her love made sweet	R
Should be called by a rose red name	Q
And a murmur was heard as of doves	A
And a music beginning of loves	A
In the light that the roses made	S
Such light as the music loves	A
The music of man with maid	S
	-
But the days drop one upon one	T
And a chill soft wind is begun	T
In the heart of the rose red maze	A
That weeps for the roseleaf days	A
And the reign of the rose undone	T
That ruled so long in the light	E
And by spirit and not by sight	E
Through the darkness thrilled with its breath	F
Still ruled in the viewless night	E
As love might rule over death	F
	-
The time of lovers is brief	C
From the fair first joy to the grief	C
That tells when love is grown old	D
From the warm wild kiss to the cold	D
From the red to the white rose leaf	C
They have but a season to seem	H
As rose leaves lost on a stream	H
That part not and pass not apart	U
As a spirit from dream to dream	H
As a sorrow from heart to heart	U
	-
From the bloom and the gloom that encloses	A
The death bed of Love where he dozes	A
Till a relic be left not of sand	B
To the hour glass that breaks in his hand	B
From the change in the grey garden closes	A
To the last stray grass of the strand	B
A rain and ruin of roses	A
Over the red rose land	B
