Too far away oh love I knowA
To save me from this haunted roadB
Whose lofty roses break and blowA
On a night sky bent with a loadB
-
Of lights each solitary roseC
Each arc lamp golden does exposeC
Ghost beyond ghost of a blossom showsC
Night blenched with a thousand snowsC
-
Of hawthorn and of lilac treesD
White lilac shows discoloured nightE
Dripping with all the golden leesD
Laburnum gives back to lightE
-
And shows the red of hawthorn setF
On high to the purple heaven of nightE
Like flags in blenched blood newly wetF
Blood shed in the noiseless fightE
-
Of life for love and love for lifeG
Of hunger for a little foodH
Of kissing lost for want of a wifeG
Long ago long ago wooedH
-
-
-
Too far away you are my loveI
To steady my brain in this phantom showA
That passes the nightly road aboveI
And returns again belowA
-
The enormous cliff of horse chestnut treesD
Has poised on each of its ledgesJ
An erect small girl looking down at meK
White night gowned little chits I seeK
And they peep at me over the edgesL
Of the leaves as though they would leap should I callM
Them down to my armsN
But child you re too small for me too smallM
Your little charmsN
-
White little sheaves of night gowned maidsO
Some other will thresh you outP
And I see leaning from the shadesO
A lilac like a lady there who braidsO
Her white mantilla aboutP
Her face and forward leans to catch the sightE
Of a man s faceQ
Gracefully sighing through the whiteE
Flowery mantilla of laceQ
-
And another lilac in purple veiledR
Discreetly all recklessly callsS
In a low shocking perfume to know who has hailedR
Her forth from the night my strength has failedR
In her voice my weak heart fallsS
Oh and see the laburnum shimmeringT
Her draperies downU
As if she would slip the gold and glimmeringT
White stand naked of gownU
-
-
-
The pageant of flowery trees aboveI
The street pale passionate goesC
And back again down the pavement LoveI
In a lesser pageant flowsC
-
Two and two are the folk that walkV
They pass in a half embraceQ
Of link d bodies and they talkV
With dark face leaning to faceQ
-
Come then my love come as you willW
Along this haunted roadB
Be whom you will my darling I shallX
Keep with you the troth I trowedB
