And Yanna by the yule log	A
Sat in the empty hall	B
And watched the goblin firelight	C
Caper upon the wall	B
	-
The goblins of the hearthstone	D
Who teach the wind to sing	E
Who dance the frozen yule away	F
And usher back the spring	E
	-
The goblins of the Northland	C
Who teach the gulls to scream	G
Who dance the autumn into dust	C
The ages into dream	G
	-
Like the tall corn was Yanna	D
Bending and smooth and fair	H
His Yanna of the sea gray eyes	I
And harvest yellow hair	H
	-
Child of the low voiced people	J
Who dwell among the hills	K
She had the lonely calm and poise	L
Of life that waits and wills	K
	-
Only to night a little	J
With grave regard she smiled	C
Remembering the morn she woke	M
And ceased to be a child	C
	-
Outside the ghostly rampikes	K
Those armies of the moon	D
Stood while the ranks of stars drew on	D
To that more spacious noon	D
	-
While over them in silence	K
Waved on the dusk afar	N
The gold flags of the Northern light	C
Streaming with ancient war	O
	-
And when below the headland	C
The riders of the foam	P
Up from the misty border rode	C
The wild gray horses home	P
	-
And woke the wintry mountains	K
With thunder on the shore	O
Out of the night there came a weird	C
And cried at Yanna's door	O
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
They buried me away	F
In the blue fathoms of the deep	Q
Beyond the outer bay	F
	-
But in the yule O Yanna	D
Up from the round dim sea	K
And reeling dungeons of the fog	R
I am come back to thee	K
	-
The wind slept in the forest	C
The moon was white and high	S
Only the shifting snow awoke	M
To hear the yule guest cry	S
	-
O Yanna Yanna Yanna	D
Be quick and let me in	D
For bitter is the trackless way	F
And far that I have been	D
	-
Then Yanna by the yule log	A
Starts from her dream to hear	T
A voice that bids her brooding heart	C
Shudder with joy and fear	U
	-
The wind is up a moment	C
And whistles at the eaves	K
And in his troubled iron dream	G
The ocean moans and heaves	K
	-
She trembles at the door lock	V
That he is come again	D
And frees the wooden bolt for one	D
No barrier could detain	D
	-
O Garvin bonny Garvin	D
So late so late you come	W
The yule log crumbles down and throws	K
Strange figures on the gloom	X
	-
But in the moonlight pouring	E
Through the half open door	O
Stands the gray guest of yule and casts	K
No shadow on the floor	O
	-
The change that is upon him	Y
She knows not in her haste	C
About him her strong arms with glad	C
Impetuous tears are laced	C
	-
She's led him to the fireside	C
And set the wide oak chair	H
And with her warm hands brushed away	F
The sea rime from his hair	H
	-
O Garvin I have waited	C
Have watched the red sun sink	Z
And clouds of sail come flocking in	D
Over the world's gray brink	Z
	-
With stories of encounter	A2
On plank and mast and spar	N
But never the brave barque I launched	C
And waved across the bar	N
	-
How come you so unsignalled	C
When I have watched so well	B2
Where rides the Adrianna	D
With my name on boat and bell	B2
	-
O Yanna golden Yanna	D
The Adrianna lies	K
With the sea dredging through her ports	K
The white sand through her eyes	K
	-
And strange unearthly creatures	K
Make marvel of her hull	J
Where far below the gulfs of storm	C2
There is eternal lull	J
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
This midnight I am here	T
Because one night of all my life	D2
At yule tide of the year	U
	-
With the stars white in heaven	D
And peace upon the sea	K
With all my world in your white arms	K
You gave yourself to me	K
	-
For that one night my Yanna	D
Within the dying year	U
Was it not well to love and now	D
Can it be well to fear	U
	-
O Garvin there is heartache	E2
In tales that are half told	C
But ah thy cheek is pale to night	C
And thy poor hands are cold	C
	-
Tell me the course the voyage	F2
The ports and the new stars	K
Did the long rollers make green surf	G2
On the white reefs and bars	K
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
Though easily I found	C
The set of those uncharted tides	K
In seas no line could sound	C
	-
And made without a pilot	C
The port without a light	C
No log keeps tally of the knots	K
That I have sailed to night	C
	-
It fell about mid April	J
The Trades were holding free	K
We drove her till the scuppers hissed	C
And buried in the lee	K
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
Loose hands and let me go	H2
The night grows red along the East	C
And in the shifting snow	H2
	-
I hear my shipmates calling	E
Sent out to search for me	K
In the pale lands beneath the moon	D
Along the troubling sea	K
	-
O Garvin bonny Garvin	D
What is the booming sound	C
Of canvas and the piping shrill	I2
As when a ship comes round	C
	-
It is the shadow boatswain	D
Piping his hands to bend	C
The looming sails on giant yards	K
Aboard the Nomansfriend	C
	-
She sails for Sunken Harbor	A2
And ports of yester year	U
The tern are shrilling in the lift	C
The low wind gates are clear	U
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
The little while is done	D
Thou wilt behold the brightening sea	K
Freshen before the sun	D
	-
And many a morning redden	D
The dark hill slopes of pine	D
But I must sail hull down to night	C
Below the gray sea line	D
	-
I shall not hear the snowbirds	K
Their morning litany	K
For when the dawn comes over dale	J2
I must put out to sea	K
	-
O Garvin bonny Garvin	D
To have thee as I will	I2
I would that never more on earth	K2
The dawn came over hill	I2
	-
Then on the snowy pillow	H2
Her hair about her face	K
He laid her in the quiet room	X
And wiped away all trace	K
	-
Of tears from the poor eyelids	K
That were so sad for him	Y
And soothed her into sleep at last	C
As the great stars grew dim	Y
	-
Tender as April twilight	C
He sang and the song grew	L2
Vague as the dreams which roam about	C
This world of dust and dew	L2
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
Dear Love look forth to sea	K
And all year long until the yule	M2
Dear Heart keep watch for me	K
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
I hear the calling sea	K
And the folk telling tales among	N2
The hills where I would be	K
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
Over the hills of sea	K
The wind calls and the morning comes	K
And I must forth from thee	K
	-
But Yanna Adrianna	D
Keep watch above the sea	K
And when the weary time is o'er	A2
Dear Life come back to me	K
	-
O Garvin bonny Garvin	D
She murmurs in her dream	G
And smiles a moment in her sleep	Q
To hear the white gulls scream	G
	-
Then with the storm foreboding	E
Far in the dim gray South	O2
He kissed her not upon the cheek	P2
Nor on the burning mouth	O2
	-
But once above the forehead	C
Before he turned away	F
And ere the morning light stole in	D
That golden lock was gray	F
	-
O Yanna Adrianna	D
The wind moans to the sea	K
And down the sluices of the dawn	D
A shadow drifts alee	M2
