I	A
	-
Last night I dreamed this dream That I was dead	B
And as I slept forgot of man and God	C
That other dreamless sleep of rest	D
I heard a footstep on the sod	C
As of one passing overhead	B
And lo thou Dear didst touch me on the breast	D
Saying What shall I write against thy name	E
That men should see	F
Then quick the answer came	E
I was beloved of thee	F
	-
II	A
	-
Dear Giver of Thyself when at thy side	G
I see the path beyond divide	G
Where we must walk alone a little space	H
I say Now am I strong indeed	I
To wait with only memory awhile	J
Content until I see thy face	H
Yet turn as one in sorest need	I
To ask once more thy giving grace	H
So at the last	K
Of all our partings when the night	L
Has hidden from my failing sight	L
The comfort of thy smile	J
My hand shall seek thine own to hold it fast	K
Nor wilt thou think for this the heart ingrate	K
Less glad for all its past	K
Less strong to bear the utmost of its fate	K
	-
III	A
	-
As once through forest shade I went	K
I heard a flower call and bent	K
Then strove to go Should love not spare	M
Nay Dearest this is love's sweet share	M
Of selfishness For which is best	K
To die alone or on thy breast	K
If thou hast heard my call	N
Take fearlessly thou art my guest	K
To give is all	N
Hush O Love thou casuist	K
	-
IV	-
	-
Ask me not why I only know	O
It were thy loss if I could show	O
Thee cause as for a lesser thing	P
Remember how we searched the spring	P
But found no source so clear the sky	A
Within its earth bound depths did lie	A
Give to thy joy its wings	Q
And to thy heart its song nor try	A
With questionings	Q
The throbbing throat that sings	Q
	-
V	-
	-
For in thy clear and steadfast eyes	R
Thine own self wonder deepest lies	R
Nor any words that lips can teach	S
Are sweeter than their wonder speech	S
And when thou givest them to me	-
Through dawns of tenderness I see	-
As in the water sky	A
The sun of certainly appear	T
So ask me why	A
For then thou knowest Dear	T
	-
VI	A
	-
To give is more than to receive men say	U
But thou hast made them one What if some day	U
Men bade me render back the gifts I cannot pay	U
Since all were undeserved should I obey	U
Lo all these years of giving when we try	A
To own our thanks we hear the giver cry	A
Nay it was thou who givest Dear not I	A
If Wisdom smile let Wisdom go	O
All things above	-
This is the truest that we know because we love	-
Not love because we know	O
	-
VII	-
	-
Let it not grieve thee Dear that Love is sad	K
Who changeless loveth so the things that change	V
The morning in thine eyes the dusk within thy hair	M
Were it not strange	V
If he were glad	K
Who cannot keep thy heart from care	M
Or shelter from the whip of pain	W
The bosom where his head hath lain	W
Poor sentinel that may not guard	K
The door that love itself unbarred	K
Who in the sweetness	X
Of his service knows its incompleteness	X
And while he sings	X
Of life eternal feels the coldness of Death's wings	X
	-
VIII	-
	-
Stoop with me Dearest to the grass	X
One little moment ere we pass	X
From out these parched and thirsty lands	X
See all these tiny blades are hands	X
Stretched supplicating to the sky	A
And listen Dearest patiently	-
Dost thou not hear them move	-
The myriad roots that search and cry	A
As hearts do Love	-
Feed us or let us die	A
	-
IX	X
	-
Beloved when far up the mountain side	K
We found almost at eventide	K
Our spring how far we did fear	T
Lest it should dare the trackless wood	K
And disappear	T
And lost all heart when on the crest we stood	K
And saw it spent in mist below	O
Yet ever surer was its flow	O
And ever gathering to its own	Y
New springs of which we had not known	Y
To fairer meadows	X
Swept exultant from the woodland shadows	X
And when at last upon the baffling plain	W
We thought it scattered like a ravelled skein	W
Lo tranquil free	-
Its longed for home the wide unfathomable sea	-
	-
X	X
	-
Thy names are like sweet flowers that grow	O
Within a garden where I go	O
Sometimes at dawn to see each one	Z
Life its head proudly in the sun	Z
Sometimes at night	K
When only by the fragrant air	M
I know them there	M
And none are grieved or think I slight	K
Their worth if closest to my breast	K
This one I take which holds within its own	Y
Each single fragrance of the rest	K
My friend my friend	K
And as I loved it first alone	Y
So shall I love it to the end	K
For none were half so dear were it not best	K
	-
XI	-
	-
My every purpose fashioned by some thought of thee	-
Though as a feather's weight that shapes the arrow's flight it be	-
No single joy complete in which thou hast no fee	-
Though thy share be the star and mine its shadow in the sea	-
Thy very pulse my pulse thy every prayer my prayer	M
Thy love my blue o'erreaching sky that bounds me everywhere	M
Yet free Beloved free for this encircling air	M
I cannot leave behind doth but love's boundlessness declare	M
	-
XII	-
	-
Last night the angel of remembrance brought	K
Me while I slept think Dear of all his store	A2
Just that one memory I thought	K
Banished forever from our door	A2
Thy sob of pain when once I hurt thee sure	B2
Then in my dream I suddenly was ware	M
Of God above me saying Reach	S
Thy hand to Me in prayer	M
And I will give thee pardon yet	K
Thou Nay she hath forgiven teach	S
Her to forget	K
	-
XIII	-
	-
Love me not Dearest for the smile	J
The tender greeting or the wile	J
By which unconscious of its road	K
My soul seeks thine in its abode	K
Nor say I love thee of thine eyes	-
For when Death shuts them where thy skies	-
But love me for my love	-
Then am I safe from all surprise	-
And thou above	-
The loss of all that dies	-
	-
XIV	-
	-
Dear hands forgiving hands	-
There is no speech so sure as thing	P
Lips falter with so much	C2
To tell eyes fill with thoughts I scarce divine	D2
But thy least touch	C2
Soul understands	-
Dear giving taking hands	-
There are no gifts so free as thine	D2
One last gem from the heart of the mine	D2
One last cup from the veins of the vine	D2
From the rose to the wind one last sweet breath	E2
Then poverty and death	E2
But thy dear palms	-
Are richest empty asking alms	-
	-
XV	-
	-
A little moment at the end	K
Of day left over in the candle light	K
On the shore of dreams on the edge of sleep	F2
Too small to throw away	U
Too poor to keep	F2
But it holds two words for thee dear Friend	K
Good night Good night	K
And so this remnant of the day	U
Left over in the candle light	K
On the shore of dreams on the edge of sleep	F2
Becomes too great to throw away	U
Too dear to keep	F2
	-
XVI	-
	-
Beloved when I read some fine conceit	K
Wherein are wrought as in glass	-
The features love hath made so sweet	K
I marvel at so bold an art	K
Seeing thou art too dear to praise	-
Upon the highway where men pass	-
For when I seek	G2
To tell the ways	-
God's hand of tenderness	-
Hath touched thine earthly part	K
Again I hear	H2
Thy first own cry of happiness	-
And sweetest of God's sounds the dear	T
Remonstrance of thy giving heart	K
And cannot speak	G2
	-
XVII	-
	-
Across the plain of Time	I2
I saw them marching all night long	J2
The endless throng	J2
Of all who ever dared to fight with wrong	J2
All the blood of their hearts the prime	I2
And crown of their fleeting years	-
All the toil of their hands the tears	-
Of their eyes the thought of their brain	W
For a word from the lips of Truth	K2
For a glimpse of the scroll of Fate	K
Ere love and youth	K2
Were spent in vain	W
And even truth too late	K
Oh when the Silence speaks and the scroll	L2
Unrolls to the eye of the soul	L2
What will it be that shall pay the cost	K
Of the pain gone waste and the labor lost	K
And then Dear waking I saw you	M2
And knew	M2
	-
XVIII	-
	-
We thought when Love at last should come	N2
The rose would lose its thorn	O2
And every lip but Joy's be dumb	N2
When Love sweet Love was born	O2
That never tears should start to rise	-
No night o'ertake our morn	O2
Nor any guest of grief surprise	-
When Love sweet Love was born	O2
	-
And when he came O Heart of mine	D2
And stood within our door	A2
No joy our dreaming could divine	D2
Was missing from his store	A2
The thorns shall wound our hearts again	P2
But not the fear of yore	A2
for all the guests of grief and pain	W
Shall serve him evermore	A2
	-
XIX	-
	-
Dost thou remember Dear the day	U
We met in those bare woods of May	U
Each had a secret unconfessed	U
Each sound a promise in each nest	U
Young wings a tremble for the air	M
How we joined hands not knowing where	M
The springs that touch set free	-
Should find their sea	-
Speechless so sure we were to share	M
The unknown good to be	-
	-
XX	-
	-
The woods are bare again There are	Q2
No secrets now the bud's a scar	Q2
No promises this is the end	U
Ah Dearest I have seen thee bend	U
Above thy flowers as one who knew	M2
The dying wood should bloom anew	M2
Come let us sleep Perchance	-
God's countenance	-
Like thine above thy flowers smiles through	M2
The night upon us two	M2
