'THERE is a sound the autumn wind doth make	A
Howling and moaning listlessly and low	B
Methinks that to a heart that ought to break	A
All the earth's voices seem to murmur so	B
The visions that crost	C
Our path in light	C
The things that we lost	C
In the dim dark night	C
The faces for which we vainly yearn	D
The voices whose tones will not return	D
That low sad wailing breeze doth bring	E
Borne on its swift and rushing wing	E
Have ye sat alone when that wind was loud	C
And the moon shone dim from the wintry cloud	C
When the fire was quench'd on your lonely hearth	F
And the voices were still which spoke of mirth	G
	-
If such an evening tho' but one	H
It hath been yours to spend alone	I
Never though years may roll along	J
Cheer'd by the merry dance and song	J
Though you mark'd not that bleak wind's sound before	K
When louder perchance it used to roar	K
Never shall sound of that wintry gale	L
Be aught to you but a voice of wail	L
So o'er the careless heart and eye	M
The storms of the world go sweeping by	M
But oh when once we have learn'd to weep	N
Well doth sorrow his stern watch keep	N
Let one of our airy joys decay	O
Let one of our blossoms fade away	O
And all the griefs that others share	P
Seem ours as well as theirs to bear	P
And the sound of wail like that rushing wind	C
Shall bring all our own deep woe to mind	C
	-
'I went through the world but I paused not now	Q
At the gladsome heart and the joyous brow	Q
I went through the world and I stay'd to mark	R
Where the heart was sore and the spirit dark	R
And the grief of others though sad to see	S
Was fraught with a demon's joy to me	S
	-
'I saw the inconstant lover come to take	A
Farewell of her he loved in better days	T
And coldly careless watch the heart strings break	A
Which beat so fondly at his words of praise	T
She was a faded painted guilt bow'd thing	E
Seeking to mock the hues of early spring	E
When misery and years had done their worst	C
To wither her away The big tears burst	C
From out her flashing eyes which turn'd on him	U
With agony reproach and fear while dim	U
Each object swam in her uncertain sight	C
And nature's glories took the hue of night	C
There was in spite of all her passion's storm	V
A wild revolting beauty in her form	V
A beauty as of sin when first she comes	W
To tempt us from our calm and pleasant homes	X
Her voice with the appealing tone it took	Y
Her soft clear voice belied her fearless look	Y
And woman's tenderness seem'd still to dwell	Z
In that full bosom's agonizing swell	Z
And he stood there the worshipp'd one of years	A2
Sick of her fondness angry at her tears	B2
Choking the loathing words which rose within	C2
The heart whose passion tempted her to sin	C2
While with a strange sad smile lost hours she mourns	D2
And prays and weeps and weeps and prays by turns	E2
	-
A moment yet he paused and sigh'd a sigh	M
Of deep deep bitterness and on his eye	M
Love's gentle shadow rested for a space	F2
And faded feelings brighten'd o'er his face	F2
'Twas but a moment and he turn'd in wrath	G2
To quench the sunshine on her lonely path	G2
And his lip curl'd as on that alter'd cheek	H2
His cold glance rested while all faint and weak	H2
With tearful sad imploring gaze she stood	C
Watching with trembling heart his changeful mood	C
Her thin lips parted with a ghastly smile	I2
She strove to please yet felt she fail'd the while	I2
And thus his words burst forth ' And dost thou dare	P
Reproach me with the burden of thy care	P
Accuse thy self will'd heart where passion reign'd	C
Some other hand the lily might have stain'd	C
For thou didst listen when none else approved	C
Proud in thy strength and eager to be loved	C
Rose of the morning how thy leaves are gone	J2
How art thou faded since the sunrise shone	I
Think not my presence was the cause of all	K2
Oh no thy folly would have made thee fall	K2
Alike thy woe alike the cause of blame	L2
Another tempter but thine act the same	L2
And tell me not of all I said or swore	K
Poor wretch art thou as in the days of yore	K
	-
Thing of the wanton heart and faded brow	Q
Whate'er I said or did I loathe thee now '	-
The frozen tears sank back beneath the lid	C
Whose long black lashes half their sadness hid	C
And with a calm and stedfast look which spoke	M2
Unutterable scorn her spirit woke	M2
'And thou art he for whom my young heart gave	N2
All hope of pardon on this side the grave	N2
For whom I still have struggled on for years	A2
Through days of bitterness and nights of tears	B2
True I am changed since that bright summer's day	O
When first from home love lured my steps to stray	O
And true it is that art hath sought to hide	C
The work of woe which all my words belied	C
But for whose sake have I with watchful care	P
Though sick at heart endeavour'd to be fair	P
For whom when daylight broke along the skies	O2
Have I with fear survey'd my weeping eyes	O2
For whom with trembling fingers sought to dress	P2
Each woe worn feature with mock loveliness	P2
Chased the pale sickness from my darken'd brow	Q
And strove to listen calm as I do now	Q
For whom if not for thee Oh had I been	C2
Pure as the stainless lily were each scene	Q2
Of guilt and passion blotted from that book	Y
Where weepingly and sad the angels look	Y
	-
Did I stand here the calm approved wife	R2
Bound to thee by the chain that binds for life	R2
Could I have loved thee more The dream is past	C
I who forsook am lonely at the last	C
One hour ago the thought that we must part	C
And part for ever would have broke my heart	C
But now I cast thee from me Go and seek	H2
To pale the roses on a fresher cheek	H2
Why lingerest thou Dost fear when thou art gone	J2
My woman's heart will wake and live alone	I
Fear not the specious tongue whose well feign'd tale	L
Hath lured the dove to leave her native vale	L
May use its art some other to beguile	I2
And the approving world will only smile	I2
But she who sins and suffers for that sin	C2
Who throws the dangerous die and doth not win	C2
Loves once and loves no more ' He glided by	M
And she turn'd from him with a shuddering sigh	M
	-
'I saw the widower mournful stand	C
Gazing out on the sea and the land	C
O'er the yellow corn and the waving trees	P2
And the blue stream rippling in the breeze	P2
Oh beautiful seem the earth and sky	M
Why doth he heave that bitter sigh	M
	-
Vain are the sunshine and brightness to him	U
His heart is heavy his eyes are dim	U
His thoughts are not with the moaning sea	P2
Though his gaze be fix'd on it vacantly	I2
His thoughts are far where the dark boughs wave	N2
O'er the silent rest of his Mary's grave	N2
He starts and brushes away the tear	P
For the soft small voices are in his ear	S2
Of the bright hair'd angels his Mary left	C
To comfort her lonely and long bereft	C
With a gush of sorrow he turns to press	P2
His little ones close with a fond caress	P2
And they sigh oh not because Mary sleeps	P2
For she is forgotten but that HE weeps	P2
Yes she is forgotten the patient love	T2
The tenderness of that meek eyed dove	T2
The voice that rose on the evening air	P
To bid them kneel to the God of prayer	P
The joyous tones that greeted them when	U2
After a while she came again	U2
The pressure soft of her rose leaf cheek	H2
The touch of her hand as white and weak	H2
She laid it low on each shining head	C
And bless'd the sons of the early dead	C
All is forgotten all past away	O
Like the fading close of a summer's day	O
	-
Or the sound of her voice though they scarce can tell	I2
Whose voice it was that they loved so well	I2
Comes with their laughter a short sweet dream	V2
As the breeze blows over the gentle stream	V2
Rippling a moment its quiet breast	C
And leaving it then to its sunny rest	C
But he oh deep in his inmost soul	I2
Which hath drunk to the dregs of sorrow's bowl	I2
Her look and her smile the lightest word	C
Of the musical voice he so often heard	C
And n	U2
