THE wounded hart and the dying swan	A
Were side by side	B
Where the rushes coil with the turn of the tide	B
The hart and the swan	A
	-
AS much as in a hundred years she's dead	C
Yet is to day the day on which she died	B
	-
I SAW the Sibyl at Cum	D
One said with mine own eye	E
She hung in a cage and read her rune	F
To all the passers by	E
Said the boys What wouldst thou Sibyl	G
She answered I would die	E
	-
AS balmy as the breath of her you love	H
When deep between her breasts it comes to you	I
	-
WAS it a friend or foe that spread these lies	J
Nay who but infants question in such wise	J
'Twas one of my most intimate enemies	K
	-
IF I could die like the British Queen	L
Who faced the Roman war	M
Or hang in a cage for my country's sake	N
Like Black Bess of Dunbar	O
	-
SHE bound her green sleeve on my helm	P
Sweet pledge of love's sweet meed	E
Warm was her bared arm round my neck	Q
As well she bade me speed	E
And her kiss clings still between my lips	R
Heart's beat and strength at need	E
	-
WHERE is the man whose soul has never waked	E
To sudden pity of the poor torn past	E
	-
	-
AT her step the water hen	S
Springs from her nook and skimming the clear stream	T
Ripples its waters in a sinuous curve	U
And dives again in safety	E
	-
WOULD God I knew there were a God to thank	V
When thanks rise in me	E
	-
I SHUT myself in with my soul	W
And the shapes come eddying forth	X
	-
I HATE says over and above	H
This is a soul that I might love	H
None lightly says My friend even so	Y
Be jealous of that name My foe	Y
An enemy for an enemy	E
But dogs for what a dog can be	E
Hold those at heart and time shall prove	Z
	-
DO still thy best albeit the clue	I
Be snapt of that thou strovest to	I
Do still thy best though direful hate	E
Should toil to leave thee desolate	E
Do still thy best whom Fate would damn	A2
Say such as I was made I am	A2
And did even such as I could do	I
Anomalies against all rules	B2
Acknowledge though beyond the schools	B2
	-
Those passionate states when to know true	I
Some thing and to believe are two	I
And that extraordinary sect	E
Whom no amount of intellect	E
Can save alas from being fools	B2
	-
THE bitter stage of life	C2
Where friend and foe are parts alternated	E
	-
THE winter garden beds all bare	D2
Save only where the redbreast lingering there	D2
Brings back one flower like gleam 'mid the dark mould	E
	-
WHO shall say what is said in me	E
With all that I might have been dead in me	E
	-
WHO knoweth not love's sounds and silences	E2
	-
Where the poets all	F2
Echoes of singing nature list her call	F2
	-
	-
EVEN as the dreariest swamps in sweet Springtide	E
Are most with Mary flowers beatified	E
	-
OR reading in some sunny nook	G2
Where grass blade shadows fall across your book	G2
	-
AYE we'll shake hands though scarce for love we two	I
But I hate hatred worse than I hate you	I
	-
AND heavenly things in your eyes have place	H2
Those breaks of sky in the twilight face	H2
	-
THOUGH all the rest go by	E
Ditties and dirges of the unanswering sky	E
	-
WHAT face but thine has taught me all that art	E
Can be and still be Nature's counterpart	E
The zodiac of all beauty	E
	-
WITH furnaces	E2
Of instant flame and petals of pure light	E
	-
AND love and faith the vehement heart of all	F2
	-
FOR this can love and does love and loves me	E
or	M
FOR this can love and does and loves but me	E
	-
THE forehead veiled and the veiled throat of Death	I2
	-
THOU that beyond thy real self dost see	E
A self ideal bid thy heart beware	D2
	-
AND plaintive days that haunt the haggard hills	J2
With bleak unspoken woe	Y
	-
TO know for certain that we do not know	Y
Is the first step in knowledge	K2
	-
THINK through this silence how when we are old	E
We two shall think upon this place and day	E
	-
AN ant sting's prickly at first	E
But the pain soon dies away	E
A gnat sting's worse the next day	E
But a wasp 'tis stings the worst	E
	-
AND mad revulsion of the tarnished light	E
	-
HIS face in Fortune's favours sunn'd	E
Was radiantly rubicund	E
	-
THE glass stands empty of all things it knew	I
	-
O THOU whose name being alone aloud	E
I utter oft and though thou art not there	D2
Toward thine imaged presence kiss the air	D2
	-
I SAW the love which was my life flow past	E
'Twixt shadowed reaches like a murmuring stream	T
I was awake and lo it was a dream	T
	-
OR give ten years of life's most bitter wane	L2
To see the loved one as she was again	S
	-
AND of the cup of human agony	E
Enough to fill the sea	E
	-
	-
EVEN as the moon grows clearer on the sky	E
While the sky darkens and her Venus star	O
Thrills with a keener radiance from afar	O
	-
	-
THE Imperial Cloak Paludamentum	T
Imperatorial car	O
And purple dyed paludament of war	M
	-
FOR the garlands of heaven were all laid by	E
And the Daylight sucked at the breasts of a Lie	E
	-
WITHIN those eyes the sedulous yearning throe	M
And all the evil of my heart	E
A thousand times forgotten	M2
	-
AH if you had been lost for many years	N2
And from the dead to day were risen again	S
	-
FASHIONED with intricate infinity	E
	-
AH dear one we were young so long	O2
I thought that youth would never wane	L2
Ah dear one I've been old so long	O2
How long until we meet again	S
	-
THE tombless fossil of deep buried days	P2
	-
AND 'mid the budding branches' sway	E
Our antlers met in battle play	E
When our fetlocks felt the Spring	Q2
	-
IN galliard gardens of strange aventine	S
Or sway of tidal night	E
	-
	-
WHEN we are senseless grown to make stones speak	R2
	-
OR stamped with the snake's coil it be	E
The imperial image of Eternity	E
	-
COULD Keats but have a day or two on earth	S2
Once every year	M
	-
AH lads I knew your father What wide world	E
Of meaning in those words They mean that he	E
Being gone before has known that mystery	E
From living Plato and Socrates fast furl'd	E
	-
THIS little day a bird that flew to me	E
Has swiftly flown out of my hand again	S
Ah have I listened to its fugitive strain	S
For what its tidings of the sky may be	E
	-
NO ship came near aloof with heed	E
They tacked as still as death	I2
For round our walls the sea was dense	T2
With reefs whose sharp circumference	U2
Was the great stronghold's sure defence	T2
	-
AND plaintive days that haunt the haggard hills	J2
With bleak unspoken woe	Y
	-
INEXPLICABLE blight	E
And mad revulsion of the tarnished light	E
	-
ET les larmes comme le sang	V2
Grisent ceux qui les font couler	E
	-
PRO hoste hostem canes pro canibus affer	E
	-
IL faut que tu le tiennes pour dit	E
Car je ne t'aime plus ma mie	E
	-
DEL mare il susurro sonoro	E
