| Last night I saw you decked to meet | B |
| The coming of those most reluctant feet | B |
| The little bonnet that you wear | C |
| When you would fain for his sake be more fair | C |
| The primrose ribbons that so grace | D |
| The perfect pallor of your face | D |
| The dark gown folded back about the throat | E |
| And folds of lacework that denote | E |
| All that beneath them just beneath them lies | F |
| God for his eyes | F |
| - | |
| So the man came and took you and we lay | G |
| So near and yet so far away | G |
| You in his arms awake for joy and I | A |
| Awake for very misery | H |
| Cursing a sleepless brain that would but scrawl | I |
| Your image on the aching wall | I |
| That would but pang me with the sense | J |
| Of that most sweet accursed violence | K |
| Of lovers' hands that weary to caress | L |
| Those hands your unforbidden loveliness | L |
| - | |
| And with the dawn that vision came again | M |
| To an unrested and recurrent brain | N |
| To think your body warm and white | O |
| Lay in his arms all night | O |
| That it was given him to surprise | L |
| With those unhallowed eyes | L |
| The secrets of your beauty hid from me | H |
| That I may never may I never see | H |
| I who adore you he who finds in you | P |
| Poor child a half forgotten point of view | P |
| II | A |
| As I lay on the stranger's bed | Q |
| And clasped the stranger woman I had hired | R |
| Desiring only memory dead | Q |
| Of all that I had once desired | R |
| - | |
| It was then that I wholly knew | P |
| How dearly I had loved you my lost friend | S |
| While I am I and you are you | P |
| How I must love you to the end | S |
| - | |
| For I lay in her arms awake | T |
| Awake and cursing the indifferent night | O |
| That ebbed so slowly for your sake | T |
| My heart's desire my soul's delight | O |
| - | |
| For I lay in her arms awake | T |
| Awake in such a solitude of shame | U |
| That when I kissed her for your sake | T |
| My lips were sobbing on your name | U |
