I	A
	-
Farewell a late farewell Tearless and unforgetting	B
Alone aloof I twine	C
Cypress and golden rose plucked at the chill sunsetting	B
Laurel amaracus and dark December vine	C
Into a garland wove not too unworthily	D
For thee who seekest now an asphodel divine	C
Though immaterial the leaf and blossom he	E
Haply they shall outlinger these the seasons bring	B
The seasons take and tell of mortal monody	F
Through many a mortal spring	B
	-
II	A
	-
Once more farewell Naught is to do naught is to say	G
Naught is to sing but sorrow	H
For grievous is the night and dolorous the day	G
In this one hell of all the damned we wander thorough	H
Thou hast departed and the dog and swine abide	F
The fetid fingered ghouls will delve on many a morrow	H
In charnel urn and grave the sun shall lantern these	I
Oblivious till they too have faltered and have died	F
And are no more than pestilential breath that flees	I
On air unwalled and wide	F
	-
III	A
	-
Let ape and pig maintain their council and cabal	D
In ashes gulfward hurled	F
Thou art gone forth with all of loveliness with all	D
Of glory long withdrawn from a desertless world	F
Now let the loathlier vultures of the soul convene	J
They have no wings to follow thee whose flight is furled	F
Upon oblivion's nadir or some lost demesne	J
Of the pagan dead vaulted with perfume and with fire	K
Where blossoms immarcescible in vespertine	J
Strange amber air suspire	K
	-
IV	H
	-
Peace peace for grief and bitterness avails not ever	K
And sorrow wrongs thy sleep	L
Better it is to be as thou who art forever	K
As part and parcel of the infinite fair deep	L
Who dwellest now in mystery with days hesternal	D
And time that is not time we have no need to weep	L
For woe may not befall where thou in ways supernal	D
Hast found the perfect love that is oblivion	J
The poppy tender lips of her that reigns eternal	D
In realms not of the sun	J
	-
V	H
	-
Peace peace Idle is our procrastinating praise	M
Hollow the harps of laud	F
And not necessitous the half begrudg d bays	M
To thee whose song forecrowned thee for a lyric god	F
Whose name shall linger strangely in the sunset years	N
As music from a more enchanted period	F
An echo flown upon the changing hemispheres	N
Re shaped with breath of alien maiden alien boy	O
Re sung in future cities mixed with future tears	N
And with remoter joy	O
	-
VI	H
	-
From Aphrodite thou hast turned to Proserpine	J
No treason hast thou done	J
For neither goddess is a goddess more divine	J
And verily my brother are the twain not one	J
We too as thou with hushed desire and silent paean	J
Beyond the risen dark beyond the fallen sun	J
Shall follow her whose pallid breasts on shores Lethean	J
Are favorable phares to barges of the world	F
And we shall find her there even as the Cytherean	J
In love and slumber furled	F
