Sweet days of breaking light	A
or yet the shadowy might	A
and blaze of starry strife	B
possess d my life	B
	-
sweet dawn of Beauty s day	C
first hint and smiling play	C
of the compulsive force	D
that since my course	D
	-
across the years obeys	E
not tho all earlier days	E
in me were buried not	F
were ye forgot	F
	-
The northern kingdom s dream	G
prison d in crystal gleam	G
heard the pale flutes of spring	H
her thin bells ring	H
	-
the tranced maiden s eyes	I
open d a far surmise	I
and heavens and meadows grew	J
a tender blue	J
	-
of petal hearts that keep	K
thro their dark winter sleep	K
true memory of delight	A
a hidden light	A
	-
Then by her well Romance	L
waiting the fabled chance	L
dream d all the forest scene	M
in shifting green	M
	-
and Melusina s gaze	E
lurk d in the shadow d glaze	E
of waters gliding still	N
a witching ill	N
	-
or lost Undine wept	O
where the hid streamlet crept	O
to the dusk murmuring low	P
her silvery woe	P
	-
Dim breaths in the dim shade	Q
of the romantic glade	Q
told of the timid pain	R
that hearken d fain	R
	-
how Beauty came to save	S
the prison d life and wave	S
above the famish d lands	T
her healing hands	T
	-
Beauty in hidden ways	E
walking a leafy maze	E
with magic odour dim	U
far on life s rim	U
	-
Beauty sweet pain to kiss	V
Beauty sharp pain to miss	V
in sorrow or in joy	W
a dear annoy	W
	-
Beauty with waiting years	X
that bind the fount of tears	Y
well won if once her light	A
shine before night	A
	-
Then the shy heart of youth	Z
dared know its weening sooth	Z
then first thy godhead Sun	A2
it s life s light one	A2
	-
what time the hour outroll d	B2
its banner blazon d gold	C2
and all the honey d time	D2
rang rich with rhyme	D2
	-
rhyme and the liquid laugh	E2
of girlish spring to quaff	E2
granted each heart and shed	F2
about each head	F2
	-
a sound of harping blown	G2
and airs of elfin tone	G2
and gipsy waifs of song	H2
a dancing throng	H2
	-
The yellow meads of May	C
acclaim d the louder lay	C
more rapturously athirst	F2
for that fierce burst	F2
	-
of Summer s clarioning	H2
what time his fulgent wing	H2
should cleave the crystal spell	I2
his hot eyes tell	I2
	-
each charm beneath the veil	J2
his eager hands assail	J2
and his red lips be prest	F2
against her breast	F2
	-
filling her every vein	R
with the diviner pain	R
of life beyond all dream	G
burning supreme	G
	-
O natural ecstasy	B2
O highest grace to be	B2
in every pulse to know	P
the Sungod s glow	P
	-
Thence the exulting strain	R
sped onward as a rain	R
of gold linked notes	K2
from unseen throats	K2
	-
till the mad heart adust	F2
of August s aching lust	F2
to do her beauty wrong	H2
broke and the song	H2
	-
and in her poppied fate	F2
ken life grown all too great	F2
illumed with grateful breath	Z
the lips of death	Z
	-
But those deep fibres hold	F2
the season s mortal gold	F2
by silent alchemy	B2
of soul set free	B2
	-
and woven in vision d shower	L2
as each most secret hour	L2
sheds the continuing bliss	V
in song or kiss	V
	-
O poets I have loved	F2
when in my soul first moved	F2
desire to breathe in one	A2
love song and sun	A2
	-
your pages that I turn	M2
your jewelled phrases burn	M2
richly behind a haze	E
of golden days	E
	-
And O ye golden days	E
tho since on stranger ways	E
to some undying war	N2
the fatal star	O2
	-
of unseen Beauty draw	P2
this soul to occult law	P2
obedient ever not	F2
are ye forgot	F2
