Browning old fellowA
Your leaves grow yellowA
Beginning to mellowA
As seasons passB
Your cover is wrinkledC
And stained and sprinkledC
And warped and crinkledC
From sleep on the grassB
-
Is it a wine stainD
Or only a pine stainD
That makes such a fine stainD
On your dull blueE
Got as we numberedC
The clouds that lumberedC
Southward and slumberedC
When day was throughE
-
What is the dear markF
There like an earmarkF
Only a tear markF
A woman let fallG
As bending overH
She bade me discoverH
Who plays the loverH
He loses allG
-
With you for teacherH
We learned love's featureH
In every creatureH
That roves or grievesI
When winds were brawlingJ
Or bird folk callingJ
Or leaf folk fallingJ
About our eavesI
-
No law must straitenD
The ways they wait inD
Whose spirits greatenD
And hearts aspireK
The world may dwindleL
And summer brindleL
So love but kindleL
The soul to fireH
-
Here many a red lineD
Or pencilled headlineD
Shows love could wed lineD
To golden senseM
And something betterH
Than wisdom's fetterH
Has made your letterH
Dense to the denseM
-
No April robinD
Nor clacking bobbinD
Can make of DobbinD
A PegasusN
But Nature's pleadingJ
To man's unheedingJ
Your subtile readingJ
Made clear to usN
-
You made us farersN
And equal sharersN
With homespun wearersN
In home made joysN
You made us princesN
No plea convincesN
That spirit wincesN
At dust and noiseN
-
When Fate was naggingJ
And days were draggingJ
And fancy laggingJ
You gave it scopeO
When eaves were drippyO
And pavements slippyO
From Lippo LippiO
To Evelyn HopeO
-
When winter's arrowA
Pierced to the marrowA
And thought was narrowA
You gave it roomP
We guessed the warderH
On Roland's borderH
And helped to orderH
The Bishop's TombP
-
When winds were harshishQ
And ways were marshishQ
We found with KarshishQ
Escape at needC
Were bold with WaringJ
In far seafaringJ
And strong in snaringJ
Ben Ezra's creedC
-
We felt the menaceN
Of lovers pen usN
Afloat in VeniceN
Devising fibsN
And little matteredC
The rain that patteredC
While Blougram chatteredC
To GigadibsN
-
And we too waitedC
With heart elatedC
And breathing batedC
For Pippa's songJ
Saw Satan hoverH
With wings to coverH
Porphyria's loverH
Pompilia's wrongJ
-
Long thoughts were startedC
When youth departedC
From the half heartedC
Riccardi's brideC
For saith your fableL
Great Love is ableL
To slip the cableL
And take the tideC
-
Or truth compels usN
With ParacelsusN
Till nothing else isN
Of worth at allG
Del Sarto's visionD
Is our own missionD
And art's ambitionD
Is God's own callG
-
Through all the seasonsN
You gave us reasonsN
For splendid treasonsN
To doubt and fearR
Bade no foot falterH
-
Though weaklings palterH
And friendships alterH
From year to yearH
-
Since first I sought youE
Found you and bought youE
Hugged you and brought youE
Home from CornhillG
While some upbraid youE
And some parade youE
Nine years have made youE
My master stillG
