Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC DEDE FEFE GHGH IAIA DJKKLMNMN OPOOPEQEQ RSRRSTUTU ICIC VQVQ WBXBToo far away oh love I know | A |
To save me from this haunted road | B |
Whose lofty roses break and blow | A |
On a night sky bent with a load | B |
- | |
Of lights each solitary rose | C |
Each arc lamp golden does expose | C |
Ghost beyond ghost of a blossom shows | C |
Night blenched with a thousand snows | C |
- | |
Of hawthorn and of lilac trees | D |
White lilac shows discoloured night | E |
Dripping with all the golden lees | D |
Laburnum gives back to light | E |
- | |
And shows the red of hawthorn set | F |
On high to the purple heaven of night | E |
Like flags in blenched blood newly wet | F |
Blood shed in the noiseless fight | E |
- | |
Of life for love and love for life | G |
Of hunger for a little food | H |
Of kissing lost for want of a wife | G |
Long ago long ago wooed | H |
- | |
Too far away you are my love | I |
To steady my brain in this phantom show | A |
That passes the nightly road above | I |
And returns again below | A |
- | |
The enormous cliff of horse chestnut trees | D |
Has poised on each of its ledges | J |
An erect small girl looking down at me | K |
White night gowned little chits I see | K |
And they peep at me over the edges | L |
Of the leaves as though they would leap should I call | M |
Them down to my arms | N |
But child you're too small for me too small | M |
Your little charms | N |
- | |
White little sheaves of night gowned maids | O |
Some other will thresh you out | P |
And I see leaning from the shades | O |
A lilac like a lady there who braids | O |
Her white mantilla about | P |
Her face and forward leans to catch the sight | E |
Of a man's face | Q |
Gracefully sighing through the white | E |
Flowery mantilla of lace | Q |
- | |
And another lilac in purple veiled | R |
Discreetly all recklessly calls | S |
In a low shocking perfume to know who has hailed | R |
Her forth from the night my strength has failed | R |
In her voice my weak heart falls | S |
Oh and see the laburnum shimmering | T |
Her draperies down | U |
As if she would slip the gold and glimmering | T |
White stand naked of gown | U |
- | |
- | |
The pageant of flowery trees above | I |
The street pale passionate goes | C |
And back again down the pavement Love | I |
In a lesser pageant flows | C |
- | |
Two and two are the folk that walk | V |
They pass in a half embrace | Q |
Of link d bodies and they talk | V |
With dark face leaning to face | Q |
- | |
Come then my love come as you will | W |
Along this haunted road | B |
Be whom you will my darling I shall | X |
Keep with you the troth I trowed | B |
