The blessed damozel leaned out	A
From the gold bar of heaven	B
Her eyes were deeper than the depth	C
Of waters stilled at even	D
She had three lilies in her hand	E
And the stars in her hair were seven	B
	-
Her robe ungirt from clasp to hem	F
No wrought flowers did adorn	G
But a white rose of Mary's gift	H
For service meetly worn	G
Her hair that lay along her back	I
Was yellow like ripe corn	G
	-
It seemed she scarce had been a day	J
One of God's choristers	K
The wonder was not yet quite gone	L
From that still look of hers	K
Albeit to them she left her day	J
Had counted as ten years	K
	-
To one it is ten years of years	K
Yet now and in this place	K
Surely she leaned o'er me her hair	M
Fell all about my face	K
Nothing the autumn fall of leaves	K
The whole year sets apace	K
	-
It was the rampart of God's house	K
That she was standing on	N
By God built over the sheer depth	C
The which is Space begun	B
So high that looking downward thence	K
She scarce could see the sun	B
	-
It lies in heaven across the flood	O
Of ether as a bridge	P
Beneath the tides of day and night	Q
With flame and darkness ridge	P
The void as low as where this earth	R
Spins like a fretful midge	P
	-
Around her lovers newly met	S
'Mid deathless love's acclaims	K
Spoke evermore among themselves	K
Their heart remembered names	K
And the souls mounting up to God	T
Went by her like thin flames	K
	-
And still she bowed herself and stooped	U
Out of the circling charm	V
Until her bosom must have made	W
The bar she leaned on warm	X
And the lilies lay as if asleep	Y
Along her bended arm	V
	-
From the fixed place of heaven she saw	K
Time like a pulse shake fierce	K
Through all the worlds Her gaze still strove	Z
Within the gulf to pierce	K
Its path and now she spoke as when	A2
The stars sang in their spheres	K
	-
The sun was gone now the curled moon	B2
Was like a little feather	C2
Fluttering far down the gulf and now	D2
She spoke through the still weather	C2
Her voice was like the voice the stars	K
Had when they sang together	C2
	-
Ah sweet Even now in that bird's song	E2
Strove not her accents there	M
Fain to be harkened When those bells	K
Possessed the midday air	M
Strove not her steps to reach my side	F2
Down all the echoing stair	M
	-
I wish that he were come to me	G2
For he will come she said	H2
Have I not prayed in heaven on earth	R
Lord Lord has he not prayed	W
Are not two prayers a perfect strength	I2
And shall I feel afraid	W
	-
When round his head the aureole clings	K
And he is clothed in white	Q
I'll take his hand and go with him	J2
To the deep wells of light	Q
As unto a stream we will step down	K2
And bathe there in God's sight	Q
	-
We two will stand beside that shrine	L2
Occult withheld untrod	Q
Whose lamps are stirred continually	G2
With prayer sent up to God	Q
And see our old prayers granted melt	Q
Each like a little cloud	Q
	-
We two will lie i' the shadow of	M2
That living mystic tree	G2
Within those secret growth the Dove	M2
Is sometimes felt to be	G2
While every leaf that His plumes touch	N2
Saith His Name audibly	G2
	-
And I myself will teach to him	J2
I myself lying so	K
The songs I sing here which his voice	K
Shall pause in hushed and slow	K
And find some knowledge at each pause	K
Or some new thing to know	K
	-
Alas We two we two thou say'st	Q
Yea one wast thou with me	G2
That once of old But shall God lift	Q
To endless unity	G2
The soul whose likeness with thy soul	O2
Was but its love for thee	G2
	-
We two she said will seek the groves	K
Where the lady Mary is	K
With her five handmaidens whose names	K
Are five sweet symphonies	K
Cecily Gertrude Magdalen	B
Margaret and Rosalys	K
	-
Circlewise sit they with bound locks	K
And foreheads garlanded	G2
Into the fine cloth white like flame	P2
Weaving the golden thread	G2
To fashion the birth robes for them	F
Who are just born being dead	G2
	-
He shall fear haply and be dumb	Q2
Then will I lay my cheek	R2
To his and tell about our love	M2
Not once abashed or weak	R2
And the dear Mother will approve	S2
My pride and let me speak	R2
	-
Herself shall bring us hand in hand	G2
To Him round whom all souls	K
Kneel the clear ranged unnumbered heads	K
Bowed with their aureoles	K
And angels meeting us shall sing	T2
To their citherns and citoles	K
	-
There will I ask of Christ the Lord	G2
Thus much for him and me	G2
Only to live as once on earth	R
With Love only to be	G2
As then awhile forever now	D2
Together I and he	G2
	-
She gazed and listened and then said	G2
Less sad of speech than mild	G2
All this is when he comes She ceased	G2
The light thrilled toward her filled	G2
With angels in strong level flight	G2
Her eyes prayed and she smil'd	G2
	-
I saw her smile But soon their path	U2
Was vague in distant spheres	K
And then she cast her arms along	E2
The golden barriers	K
And laid her face between her hands	K
And wept I heard her tears	K
