Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIG GJKLMNMOM PJQRPSPSDDTUKV WXYPDZDA2B2C2B2I also loved and the restless breaths | A |
Of sleeplessness fluttering through darkness | B |
Out of the park would downward drift | C |
To the ravine on to the archipelago | D |
Of meadows sinking from sight among | E |
Wormwood mint and quails beneath the wispy mist | F |
And the broad sweep of adoration's wing grew | G |
Heavy and drunken as though stung by shot | H |
Floundered into the air and shuddering fell short | I |
Scattering across the fields as dew | G |
- | |
And then the dawn was breaking Till two | G |
Rich jewels blinked in the incalculable sky | J |
But then the cocks began to feel afraid | K |
Of darkness and strove to hide their fright | L |
But in their throats blank mines exploded | M |
As they strained fear's putrid voice erupted | N |
As though by order as the constellations faded | M |
A shepherd goggle eyed as though from snuffing candles | O |
Made his appearance where the forest ended | M |
- | |
I also loved and she it well may be | P |
Is living yet The time will pass on by | J |
Till something large as autumn one fine day | Q |
If not tomorrow then perhaps some other time | R |
Will blaze out over life like sunset's glow in pity | P |
For the thicket For the foolish puddle's tormenting | S |
Toadish thirst For the clearings trembling timidly | P |
As hares their ears tight muffled in the wrapping | S |
Of last year's fallen leaves For the noise as though | D |
False waves are pounding on the shores of long ago | D |
I also loved and know as damp mown fields | T |
Are laid by the ages at each year's feet | U |
So the fevering newness of the worlds is laid | K |
By love at the bed head of every heart | V |
- | |
I also loved and she is living still | W |
Cascading into that first earliness as ever | X |
Time stands still vanishing away as it spills | Y |
Over the moment's edge Subtle as ever this boundary | P |
Still as before how recent seems the long ago | D |
Time past streams from the faces of those who saw | Z |
Playing still its crazy tricks as if it did not know | D |
It has no tenancy in our house any more | A2 |
Can it be so Does love really not last | B2 |
This momentary tribute of bright wonderment | C2 |
But ever all our life recede into the past | B2 |
