I	A
HOW beautiful doth the morning rise	B
O er the hills as from her bower a bride	C
Comes brightened blushing with the shame faced pride	C
Of love that now consummated supplies	B
All her full heart can wish and to the eyes	B
Dear are the flowers then in their green haunts spied	C
Glist ning with dew pleasant at noon the side	C
Of shadowy mountains ridging to the skies	B
At eve tis sweet to hear the breeze advance	D
Through the responding forest dense and tall	E
And sweeter in the moonlight is the dance	D
And natural music of the waterfall	E
And yet we feel not the full charm of all	E
Till love be near us with his magic glance	D

II	A
WHY tower my spirits and what means this wild	F
Commotion at my heart this dreamy chase	G
Of possible joys that glow like stars in space	G
Now feel I even to all things reconciled	F
As all were one in spirit Rudely up piled	F
Brown hills grow beautiful a novel grace	G
Exalts the moorland s once unmeaning face	G
The river that like a pure mind beguiled	F
Grows purer for its errors and the trees	H
That fringe its margin with a dusky shade	I
Seem robed in fairy wonder and are these	H
Exalted thus because with me surveyed	I
By one sweet sould whom well they seem to please	H
Here at my side an almost stranger maid	I

III	A
NOW sunny as the noontide heavens are	J
The eyes of my sweet friend and now serene	K
And chastely shadowy in their maiden mien	K
Or dream power sparkling like a brilliant star	J
Fills all their blue depths taking me afar	J
To where in the rich past through song is seen	K
Some sovereign beauty knighthood s mystic queen	K
Pluming with love the iron brows of war	L
Bright eyes before with subtle lightning glance	D
Have kindled all my being into one	M
Wild tumult but a charm thus to enhance	D
My heart s love loyalty till now had none	M
And can this witchery be the work of chance	D
I know not I but know my rest is gone	N

IV	O
A VAST and shadowy hope breaks up my rest	P
Unspoken nor dares even my pen to write	Q
How my pent spirit pineth day and night	Q
For one fair love with whom I might be blest	P
And ever with vague jealousies possessed	P
The more I languish feeling these may so	R
Oppress affection that for very woe	R
She longs at last to die deep buried in my breast	P
O for a beaker of the wine of love	O
Or a deep draught of the Leth an wave	O
The power a mutual passion to emove	O
Or that repose which sealeth up the grave	O
Yet these my bonds are blameless one more wise	B
Had dreamt away his freedom dreaming of her eyes	B

V	O
HER image haunts me Lo I muse at even	S
And straight it gathers from the gloom to make	T
My soul its mirror which as some still lake	T
Holds pictured in its depths the face of heaven	M
Through the hushed night retains it when tis given	M
To take a warmer presence and incline	U
A glowing cheek burning with love to mine	U
Saying The heart for which thou long hast stiven	U
With looks so fancy pale I grant thee now	U
And if for ruth yet more for love s sweet sake	T
My lips shall seal this promise on thy brow	U
Thus blest in sleep oh Who would care to wake	T
When the cold real from his belief must shake	T
Such vows like blossoms from a shattered bough	U

VI	O
SHE loves me From her own bliss breathing lips	V
The live confession came like rich perfume	W
From crimson petals bursting into bloom	W
And still my heart at the remembrance skips	V
Like a young lion and my tongue too trips	V
As drunk with joy While very object seen	U
In life s diurnal round wears in its mien	U
A clear assurance that no doubts eclipse	V
And if the common things of nature now	U
Are like old faces flushed with new delight	Q
Much more the consciousness of that rich vow	U
Deepens the beauteous and refines the bright	Q
While throned I seem on love s divinest height	Q
Mid all the glories glowing round its brow	U

VII	U
FAIR as the day a genial day serene	U
Of early summer when the vital air	X
Breathes as twere God s own breath and blossoms rare	X
Fill many a bush or nestle in between	U
The heapy folds of nature s mantle green	U
As they were happier for the joint joy there	X
Of birds and bees so genial and so fair	X
And rich in pleasure is my life s sole queen	U
My spirit in the sunshine of her grace	G
Glows with intenser being and my veins	Y
Fill as with nectar In your pride of place	G
Ye mighty boast Ye rich heap gold space	G
I envy nor your grandeur nor your gains	Y
Thus gazing at the heaven of her face	G

VIII	U
FAIR as the night when all the astral fires	Z
Of heaven are burning in the clear expanse	D
My love is and her eyes like star depths glance	D
Lustrous with glowing thoughts and pure desires	Z
And that mysterious pathos which inspires	A2
All moods divine in mortal passion s trance	D
All that its earthly music doth enhance	D
As with the rapture of seraphic lyres	D
I gaze upon her till the atmosphere	B2
Sweetens intensely and to my charmed sight	Q
All fair associated forms appear	B2
Swimming in joy as swim yon orbs in light	Q
And all sweet sounds though common to mine ear	C2
Chime up like silver winged dreams in flight	Q

IX	D
TO DAY we part I far away to dwell	D2
From this the scene that saw our bud of love	U
Bloom into rosehood The blue heavens above	U
These hills and valleys with each rocky dell	D2
Echo s dim hold shall these retain no spell	D2
Of foregone passion Shall they speak no tale	E2
Of grief they shrouded in this shaded vale	E2
Shall they of all our joy the story tell	D2
To morrow and the sun shall climb yon hill	F2
Bright as before all winged things shall wake	T
To song as glad as if we listened still	F2
The stream as mirthfully its wild way make	T
But I pursuing fortune s wandering star	J
Shall see and hear them not from thee and them afar	J

ABSENCE	D
NIGHTLY I watch the moon with silvery sheen	U
Flaking the city house tops till I feel	G2
Thy memory dear one like a presence steal	G2
Down in her light for always in her mien	U
Thy soul s similitude my soul hath seen	U
And as she seemeth now a guardian seal	G2
On heaven s far bliss upon my future weal	G2
Even such thy truth is radiantly serene	U
But long my fancy may not entertain	U
These bright resemblances for lo A cloud	H2
Blots her away And in my breast the pain	U
Of absent love recurring pines aloud	H2
When shall I look in thy bright eyes again	U
O my beloved with like sadness bowed	H2
