I	A
	-
Moonlight silvers the tops of trees	B
Moonlight whitens the lilac shadowed wall	C
And through the evening fall	C
Clearly as if through enchanted seas	B
Footsteps passing an infinite distance away	D
In another world and another day	D
Moonlight turns the purple lilacs blue	E
Moonlight leaves the fountain hoar and old	F
And the boughs of elms grow green and cold	F
Our footsteps echo on gleaming stones	G
The leaves are stirred to a jargon of muted tones	G
This is the night we have kept you say	D
This is the moonlit night that will never die	A
Through the grey streets our memories retain	H
Let us go back again	I
	-
II	A
	-
Mist goes up from the river to dim the stars	J
The river is black and cold so let us dance	K
To flare of horns and clang of cymbals and drums	L
And strew the glimmering floor with roses	M
And remember while the rich music yawns and closes	M
With a luxury of pain how silence comes	L
Yes we loved each other long ago	N
We moved like wind to a music's ebb and flow	N
At a phrase from violins you closed your eyes	O
And smiled and let me lead you how young we were	P
Your hair upon that music seemed to stir	P
Let us return there let us return you and I	A
Through changeless streets our memories retain	H
Let us go back again	I
	-
III	A
	-
Mist goes up from the rain steeped earth and clings	Q
Ghostly with lamplight among drenched maple trees	B
We walk in silence and see how the lamplight flings	Q
Fans of shadow upon it the music's mournful pleas	B
Die out behind us the door is closed at last	R
A net of silver silence is softly cast	R
Over our thought slowly we walk	S
Quietly with delicious pause we talk	S
Of foolish trivial things of life and death	T
Time and forgetfulness and dust and truth	U
Lilacs and youth	U
You laugh I hear the after taken breath	T
You darken your eyes and turn away your head	V
At something I have said	V
Some intuition that flew too deep	W
And struck a plageant chord	X
Tonight tonight you will remember it as you fall asleep	W
Your dream will suddenly blossom with sharp delight	Y
Goodnight You say	D
The leaves of the lilac dip and sway	D
The purple spikes of bloom	Z
Nod their sweetness upon us lift again	I
Your white face turns I am caught with pain	H
And silence descends and dripping of dew from eaves	A2
And jeweled points of leaves	A2
	-
IV	B2
	-
I walk in a pleasure of sorrow along the street	C2
And try to remember you slow drops patter	P
Water upon the lilacs has made them sweet	C2
I brush them with my sleeve the cool drops scatter	P
And suddenly I laugh and stand and listen	D2
As if another had laughed a gust	E2
Rustles the leaves the wet spikes glisten	D2
And it seems as though it were you who had shaken the bough	F2
And spilled the fragrance I pursue your face again	I
It grows more vague and lovely it eludes me now	F2
I remember that you are gone and drown in pain	H
Something there was I said to you I recall	C
Something just as the music seemed to fall	C
That made you laugh and burns me still with pleasure	P
What were those words the words like dripping fire	P
I remember them now and in sweet leisure	P
Rehearse the scene more exquisite than before	G2
And you more beautiful and I more wise	O
Lilacs and spring and night and your clear eyes	O
And you in white by the darkness of a door	G2
These things like voices weaving to richest music	H2
Flow and fall in the cool night of my mind	I2
I pursue your ghost among green leaves that are ghostly	J2
I pursue you but cannot find	I2
And suddenly with a pang that is sweetest of all	C
I become aware that I cannot remember you	E
The ghost I knew	E
Has silently plunged in shadows shadows that stream and fall	C
	-
V	J2
	-
Let us go in and dance once more	G2
On the dream's glimmering floor	G2
Beneath the balcony festooned with roses	M
Let us go in and dance once more	G2
The door behind us closes	M
Against an evening purple with stars and mist	K2
Let us go in and keep our tryst	K2
With music and white roses and spin around	L2
In swirls of sound	L2
Do you foresee me married and grown old	F
And you who smile about you at this room	Z
Is it foretold	F
That you must step from tumult into gloom	Z
Forget me love another	P
No you are Cleopatra fiercely young	M2
Laughing upon the topmost stair of night	Y
Roses upon the desert must be flung	M2
Above us light by light	Y
Weaves the delirious darkness petal fall	C
And music breaks in waves on the pillared wall	C
And you are Cleopatra and do not care	N2
And so in memory you will always be	J2
Young and foolish a thing of dream and mist	K2
And so perhaps when all is disillusioned	O2
And eternal spring returns once more	G2
Bringing a ghost of lovelier springs remembered	P2
You will remember me	J2
	-
VI	B2
	-
Yet when we meet we seem in silence to say	D
Pretending serene forgetfulness of our youth	U
Do you remember but then why should you remember	P
Do you remember a certain day	D
Or evening rather spring evening long ago	N
We talked of death and love and time and truth	U
And said such wise things things that amused us so	N
How foolish we were who thought ourselves so wise	O
And then we laugh with shadows in our eyes	O
