Preludes	A
	-
I Rejected	B
Perhaps she's dancing somewhere now	C
The thoughts of light and music wake	D
Sharp jealousies that grow and grow	E
Till silence and the darkness ache	D
He sees her step so proud and gay	F
Which ere he spake foretold despair	G
Thus did she look on such a day	F
And such the fashion of her hair	G
And thus she stood when kneeling low	E
He took the bramble from her dress	H
And thus she laugh'd and talk'd whose No	E
Was sweeter than another's Yes	H
He feeds on thoughts that most deject	I
He impudently feigns her charms	J
So reverenced in his own respect	I
Dreadfully clasp'd by other arms	J
And turns and puts his brows that ache	D
Against the pillow where 'tis cold	K
If only now his heart would break	D
But oh how much a heart can hold	K
	-
	-
II Rachel	L
You loved her and would lie all night	M
Thinking how beautiful she was	N
And what to do for her delight	M
Now both are bound with alien laws	O
Be patient put your heart to school	P
Weep if you will but not despair	G
The trust that nought goes wrong by rule	P
Should ease this load the many bear	G
Love if there's heav'n shall meet his dues	Q
Though here unmatch'd or match'd amiss	R
Meanwhile the gentle cannot choose	Q
But learn to love the lips they kiss	R
Ne'er hurt the homely sister's ears	S
With Rachel's beauties secret be	T
The lofty mind whose lonely tears	U
Protest against mortality	T
	-
III The Heart's Prophecies	V
Be not amazed at life 'tis still	W
The mode of God with His elect	I
Their hopes exactly to fulfil	W
In times and ways they least expect	I
	-
	-
The Queen s Room	X
	-
I	-
There's nothing happier than the days	Y
In which young Love makes every thought	Z
Pure as a bride's blush when she says	A2
I will unto she knows not what	B2
And lovers on the love lit globe	C2
For love's sweet sake walk yet aloof	D2
And hear Time weave the marriage robe	C2
Attraction warp and reverence woof	D2
	-
II	-
My Housekeeper my Nurse of yore	E2
Cried as the latest carriage went	F2
Well Mr Felix Sir I'm sure	G2
The morning's gone off excellent	H2
I never saw the show to pass	I2
The ladies in their fine fresh gowns	J2
So sweetly dancing on the grass	I2
To music with its ups and downs	J2
We'd such work Sir to clean the plate	K2
'Twas just the busy times of old	K
The Queen's room Sir look'd quite like state	K2
Miss Smythe when she went up made bold	K
To peep into the Rose Boudoir	L2
And cried 'How charming all quite new '	-
And wonder'd who it could be for	E2
All but Miss Honor look'd in too	M2
But she's too proud to peep and pry	-
None's like that sweet Miss Honor Sir	N2
Excuse my humbleness but I	-
Pray Heav'n you'll get a wife like her	N2
The Poor love dear Miss Honor's ways	Y
Better than money Mrs Rouse	O2
Who ought to know a lady says	A2
No finer goes to Wilton House	O2
Miss Bagshaw thought that dreary room	X
Had kill'd old Mrs Vaughan with fright	M
She would not sleep in such a tomb	X
For all her host was worth a night	M
Miss Fry Sir laugh'd they talk'd the rest	P2
In French and French Sir's Greek to me	T
But though they smiled and seem'd to jest	P2
No love was lost for I could see	T
How serious like Miss Honor was	N
Well Nurse this is not my affair	G
The ladies talk'd in French with cause	N
Good day and thank you for your prayer	G
	-
	-
III	-
I loiter'd through the vacant house	O2
Soon to be hers in one room stay'd	Q2
Of old my mother's Here my vows	R2
Of endless thanks were oftenest paid	Q2
This room its first condition kept	S2
For on her road to Sarum Town	T2
Therein an English Queen had slept	S2
Before the Hurst was half pull'd down	T2
The pictured walls the place became	U2
Here ran the Brook Anaurus where	G
Stout Jason bore the wrinkled dame	U2
Whom serving changed to Juno there	G
Ixion's selfish hope instead	V2
Of the nuptial goddess clasp'd a cloud	W2
And here translated Psyche fed	V2
Her gaze on Love not disallow'd	W2
	-
	-
IV	D2
And in this chamber had she been	X2
And into that she would not look	Y2
My Joy my Vanity my Queen	Z2
At whose dear name my pulses shook	Y2
To others how express at all	W
My worship in that joyful shrine	A3
I scarcely can myself recall	W
What peace and ardour then were mine	A3
And how more sweet than aught below	W
The daylight and its duties done	B3
It felt to fold the hands and so	W
Relinquish all regards but one	B3
To see her features in the dark	C3
To lie and meditate once more	E2
The grace I did not fully mark	C3
The tone I had not heard before	E2
And from my pillow then to take	D
Her notes her picture and her glove	D2
Put there for joy when I should wake	D
And press them to the heart of love	D2
And then to whisper Wife and pray	F
To live so long as not to miss	R
That unimaginable day	F
Which farther seems the nearer 'tis	D3
And still from joy's unfathom'd well	W
To drink in dreams while on her brows	R2
Of innocence ineffable	W
Blossom'd the laughing bridal rose	E3
