Your leaves grow yellow | A |
Beginning to mellow | A |
As seasons pass | B |
Your cover is wrinkled | C |
And stained and sprinkled | C |
And warped and crinkled | C |
From sleep on the grass | B |
- | |
Is it a wine stain | D |
Or only a pine stain | D |
That makes such a fine stain | D |
On your dull blue | E |
Got as we numbered | C |
The clouds that lumbered | C |
Southward and slumbered | C |
When day was through | E |
- | |
What is the dear mark | F |
There like an earmark | F |
Only a tear mark | F |
A woman let fall | G |
As bending over | H |
She bade me discover | H |
Who plays the lover | H |
He loses all | G |
- | |
With you for teacher | H |
We learned love's feature | H |
In every creature | H |
That roves or grieves | I |
When winds were brawling | J |
Or bird folk calling | J |
Or leaf folk falling | J |
About our eaves | I |
- | |
No law must straiten | D |
The ways they wait in | D |
Whose spirits greaten | D |
And hearts aspire | K |
The world may dwindle | L |
And summer brindle | L |
So love but kindle | L |
The soul to fire | H |
- | |
Here many a red line | D |
Or pencilled headline | D |
Shows love could wed line | D |
To golden sense | M |
And something better | H |
Than wisdom's fetter | H |
Has made your letter | H |
Dense to the dense | M |
- | |
No April robin | D |
Nor clacking bobbin | D |
Can make of Dobbin | D |
A Pegasus | N |
But Nature's pleading | J |
To man's unheeding | J |
Your subtile reading | J |
Made clear to us | N |
- | |
You made us farers | N |
And equal sharers | N |
With homespun wearers | N |
In home made joys | N |
You made us princes | N |
No plea convinces | N |
That spirit winces | N |
At dust and noise | N |
- | |
When Fate was nagging | J |
And days were dragging | J |
And fancy lagging | J |
You gave it scope | O |
When eaves were drippy | O |
And pavements slippy | O |
From Lippo Lippi | O |
To Evelyn Hope | O |
- | |
When winter's arrow | A |
Pierced to the marrow | A |
And thought was narrow | A |
You gave it room | P |
We guessed the warder | H |
On Roland's border | H |
And helped to order | H |
The Bishop's Tomb | P |
- | |
When winds were harshish | Q |
And ways were marshish | Q |
We found with Karshish | Q |
Escape at need | C |
Were bold with Waring | J |
In far seafaring | J |
And strong in snaring | J |
Ben Ezra's creed | C |
- | |
We felt the menace | N |
Of lovers pen us | N |
Afloat in Venice | N |
Devising fibs | N |
And little mattered | C |
The rain that pattered | C |
While Blougram chattered | C |
To Gigadibs | N |
- | |
And we too waited | C |
With heart elated | C |
And breathing bated | C |
For Pippa's song | J |
Saw Satan hover | H |
With wings to cover | H |
Porphyria's lover | H |
Pompilia's wrong | J |
- | |
Long thoughts were started | C |
When youth departed | C |
From the half hearted | C |
Riccardi's bride | C |
For saith your fable | L |
Great Love is able | L |
To slip the cable | L |
And take the tide | C |
- | |
Or truth compels us | N |
With Paracelsus | N |
Till nothing else is | N |
Of worth at all | G |
Del Sarto's vision | D |
Is our own mission | D |
And art's ambition | D |
Is God's own call | G |
- | |
Through all the seasons | N |
You gave us reasons | N |
For splendid treasons | N |
To doubt and fear | R |
Bade no foot falter | H |
- | |
Though weaklings palter | H |
And friendships alter | H |
From year to year | H |
- | |
Since first I sought you | E |
Found you and bought you | E |
Hugged you and brought you | E |
Home from Cornhill | G |
While some upbraid you | E |
And some parade you | E |
Nine years have made you | E |
My master still | G |
