Drugging the twilight | B |
With its sweet opiate of lovers' dreams | C |
The last red glow of the setting sun | D |
On the red brick wall | E |
Of the neighboring house | F |
And the scramble of red roses over it | G |
- | |
Slowly slowly | H |
The night smokes up from the city to the stars | I |
The faint foreshadowed stars | I |
The smouldering night | B |
Breathes upward like the breath | J |
Of a woman asleep | K |
With dim breast rising and falling | L |
And a smile of delicate dreams | C |
- | |
Softly softly | H |
The wind comes into the garden | D |
Like a lover that fears lest he waken his love | M |
And his hands drip with the scent of the roses | N |
And his locks weep with the opiate odor of honeysuckle | A |
Sighing sighing | L |
As a lover that yearns for the lips of his love | M |
In a torment of bliss | O |
In a passionate dreaming of bliss | O |
The wind in the trees of the garden | D |
- | |
How intimate are the trees | P |
Rustling like the secret darkness of the soul | Q |
How still is the starlight | B |
Aloof in the placidity of dream | R |
- | |
Outside the garden | D |
A group of negroes passing in the street | S |
Sing with ripe lush voices | T |
Sing with voices that swim | U |
Like great slow gliding fishes | T |
Through the scent of the honeysuckle | A |
- | |
My love's waitin' | V |
Waitin' by the river | W |
Waitin' till I come along | X |
Wait there child I'm comin' | V |
- | |
Jay bird tol' me | H |
Tol' me in the mornin' | V |
Tol' me she'd be there to night | B |
Wait there child I'm comin' | V |
- | |
Waves of dream | R |
Spell of the summer night | B |
Will of the grass that stirs in its sleep | K |
Desire of the honeysuckle | A |
And further away | Y |
Like the plash of far off waves in the fluid night | B |
The negroes singing | L |
- | |
Whip po' will tol' me | H |
Tol' me in the evenin' | V |
Down by the bend where the cat tails grow | Z |
Wait there child I'm comin' | V |
- | |
Lo the moon | V |
Like a galleon sailing the night | B |
And the wash of the moonlight over the roofs and the trees | P |
- | |
Oh my bride | A2 |
Come down from yonder lattice where you bide | A2 |
Like a charmed princess in a Persian song | X |
I look up at your yellow window panes | B2 |
Set in the night with far off wizardry | H |
Come down come down the night is fain of you | C2 |
The garden waits your footstep on its walks | D2 |
- | |
Lo the moon | V |
Like a galleon sailing the night | B |
And the wash of the moonlight over the red brick wall and the roses | N |
- | |
A gleam of lamplight through an open door | E2 |
A footfall like the wind's upon the grass | F2 |
A rustle like the wind's among the leaves | G2 |
Dim as a dream of pale peach blooms of light | B |
Blue in the blue soft pallor of the moon | V |
She comes between the trees as a faint tune | V |
Falls from a flute far off into the night | B |
So Death might come to one who knew him Love | M |
