THEY drew him from the darkened roomA
Where swooning in a peace profoundB
Beneath a heavy fragrance drownedB
Her grey form glimmered in the gloomA
Death smoothed from her each sordid traceC
Of Life at last he read the scrollD
For all the meaning of her soulD
Flowered upon her perfect faceC
In other worlds her soul finds scopeE
Her spirit lives she is not deadF
In his dulled ear they said and saidF
Suave murmuring the ancient HopeE
You loved her she was worthy loveG
Think you her spheral soul can ceaseH
Nay she has ripened to releaseH
From this bare earth and waits aboveG
His brain their clamour heard aloofI
He too had said the self same thingJ
But now his heart was quiveringJ
For more than comfort parched for proofI
He put them from him Let me beK
You proffer in my bitter needL
The coward comfort of a creedL
That tears her soul apart from meK
-
She waits in no drear Heaven afarM
Her woman's soul in all its worthN
Yearning for me for homely earthN
No gates of beaten gold could barM
No she is near me ever closeO
One with the world but free againP
One with the breezes and the rainQ
One with the mountain and the roseR
She knows me not her voice is dumbS
But aching through the twilight peersT
And unremembering yet with tearsU
She strives to say she cannot comeS
Yes she is changed but not destroyedV
The words that were her soul are hushedW
The gem that was her heart is crushedW
Its fragments white stars in the voidV
And I shall see her in disguiseX
In the grey vistas of the streetY
A face that hints of her I meetY
Whispers her soul from alien eyesX
In Time's great garden spring on springJ
The blossoms glow then at a breathZ
Their petals flutter down to deathZ
Ah love how brief your blossomingJ
-
Death has but severed part from partA2
Borne on an ever moving airB2
The fragrance of her life somewhereB2
Freshens some lonely wistful heartA2
No word of hers can God forgetC2
Her laughter Time dare not disperseD2
It shakes the tense strung universeD2
And with the chord it trembles yetC2
Each mood of hers each fancy slightE2
In deep pulsations ring on ringJ
Dilating ever wideningJ
Ripples across the outer nightE2
Her life with deathless charm was fraughtF2
And God with smiles remembers nowG2
The puzzled pucker of her browG2
Ruffled with sudden gusts of thoughtF2
And in His cosmic memory wiseX
Still live her subtle features thinH2
Her dear iconoclastic chinH2
The grave enigma of her eyesX
And if beyond she might draw breathZ
And know that I was not with herI2
The wistful eyes of her despairB2
Would be more desolate than deathZ
-
But not to meet her in the wideJ2
Night spaces I must wander throughK2
To kiss the pretty pout I knewK2
And nevermore to hear her chideJ2
To speak those childish words that wereI2
So foolish sweet so passionate wiseX
Her subtle fragrance recogniseX
And hear the whispers of her hairB2
Her sun has set but still sublimeL2
She is a star of God a partA2
She is a petal at the heartA2
Of the eternal flower of TimeL2
I triumph so beyond regretC2
I win her immortalityK
Where Death your vaunted victoryK
Where Grave your sting And yet and yetC2
