The scent of honeysuckleA
Drugging the twilightB
With its sweet opiate of lovers' dreamsC
The last red glow of the setting sunD
On the red brick wallE
Of the neighboring houseF
And the scramble of red roses over itG
-
Slowly slowlyH
The night smokes up from the city to the starsI
The faint foreshadowed starsI
The smouldering nightB
Breathes upward like the breathJ
Of a woman asleepK
With dim breast rising and fallingL
And a smile of delicate dreamsC
-
Softly softlyH
The wind comes into the gardenD
Like a lover that fears lest he waken his loveM
And his hands drip with the scent of the rosesN
And his locks weep with the opiate odor of honeysuckleA
Sighing sighingL
As a lover that yearns for the lips of his loveM
In a torment of blissO
In a passionate dreaming of blissO
The wind in the trees of the gardenD
-
How intimate are the treesP
Rustling like the secret darkness of the soulQ
How still is the starlightB
Aloof in the placidity of dreamR
-
Outside the gardenD
A group of negroes passing in the streetS
Sing with ripe lush voicesT
Sing with voices that swimU
Like great slow gliding fishesT
Through the scent of the honeysuckleA
-
My love's waitin'V
Waitin' by the riverW
Waitin' till I come alongX
Wait there child I'm comin'V
-
Jay bird tol' meH
Tol' me in the mornin'V
Tol' me she'd be there to nightB
Wait there child I'm comin'V
-
Waves of dreamR
Spell of the summer nightB
Will of the grass that stirs in its sleepK
Desire of the honeysuckleA
And further awayY
Like the plash of far off waves in the fluid nightB
The negroes singingL
-
Whip po' will tol' meH
Tol' me in the evenin'V
Down by the bend where the cat tails growZ
Wait there child I'm comin'V
-
Lo the moonV
Like a galleon sailing the nightB
And the wash of the moonlight over the roofs and the treesP
-
Oh my brideA2
Come down from yonder lattice where you bideA2
Like a charmed princess in a Persian songX
I look up at your yellow window panesB2
Set in the night with far off wizardryH
Come down come down the night is fain of youC2
The garden waits your footstep on its walksD2
-
Lo the moonV
Like a galleon sailing the nightB
And the wash of the moonlight over the red brick wall and the rosesN
-
A gleam of lamplight through an open doorE2
A footfall like the wind's upon the grassF2
A rustle like the wind's among the leavesG2
Dim as a dream of pale peach blooms of lightB
Blue in the blue soft pallor of the moonV
She comes between the trees as a faint tuneV
Falls from a flute far off into the nightB
So Death might come to one who knew him LoveM
