YOU said last night you did not think	A
In all the world of men	B
Was one true lover true alike	C
In deed and word and pen	B
	-
One knightly lover constant as	D
The old knights who sleep sound	E
Some women said you there might be	F
Not one man faithful found	E
	-
Not one man resolute to win	G
Or winning firm to hold	H
The woman among women sought	I
With steadfast love and bold	H
	-
Not one whose noble life and pure	J
Had power so to control	K
To tender hublest loyalty	F
Her free but reverent soul	K
	-
That she beside him gladly moved	L
As sovereign and slave	M
In faith unfettered homage true	N
Each claiming what each gave	M
	-
And then you dropped your eyelids white	O
And stood in maiden bloom	P
Proud calm unloving and unloved	Q
Descending to the tomb	P
	-
I let you speak and ne'er replied	R
I watched you for a space	S
Until that passionate glow like youth	T
Had faded from your face	S
	-
No anger showed I nor complaint	U
My heart's beats shook no breath	V
Although I knew that I had found	E
Her who brings life or death	V
	-
The woman true as life or death	V
The love strong as these twain	W
Against which seas of mortal fate	X
Beat harmlessly in vain	W
	-
'Not one true man' I hear it still	Y
Your voice's clear cold sound	E
Upholding all your constant swains	S
And good knights underground	E
	-
'Not one true lover' Woman turn	Z
I love you Words are small	A2
'T is life speaks plain In twenty years	S
Perhaps you may know all	A2
	-
I seek you You alone I seek	B2
All other women fair	C2
Or wise or good may go their way	D2
Without my thought or care	C2
	-
But you I follow day by day	D2
And night by night I keep	E2
My heart's chaste mansion lighted where	C2
Your image lies asleep	E2
	-
Asleep If e'er to wake He knows	S
Who Eve to Adam brought	I
As you to me the embodiment	F2
Of boyhood's dear sweet thought	I
	-
And youth's fond dream and manhood's hope	G2
That still half hopeless shone	H2
Till every rootless vain ideal	I2
Commingled into one	J2
	-
You who are so diverse from me	F
And yet as much my own	H2
As this my soul which formed apart	K2
Dwells in its bodily throne	H2
	-
Or rather for that perishes	S
As these our two lives are	L2
So strangely marvellously drawn	M2
Together from afar	L2
	-
Till week by week and month by month	N2
We closer seem to grow	O2
As two hill streams flushed with rich rain	W
Each into the other flow	O2
	-
I swear no oaths I tell no lies	S
Nor boast I never knew	N
A love dream we all dream in youth	T
But waking I found you	N
	-
The real woman whose first touch	P2
Aroused to highest life	Q2
My real manhood Crown it then	B
Good angel friend love wife	Q2
	-
Imperfect as I am and you	N
Perchance not all you seem	R2
We two together shall bind up	S2
Our past's bright broken dream	R2
	-
We two together shall dare look	T2
Upon the years to come	U2
As travellers met in far countrie	O2
Together look towards home	V2
	-
Come home The old tales were not false	S
Yet the new faith is true	O2
Those saintly souls who made men knights	S
Were women such as you	O2
	-
For the great love that teaches love	W2
Deceived not ne'er deceives	S
And she who most believes in man	X2
Makes him what she believes	S
	-
Come If you come not I can wait	X
My faith like life is long	Y2
My will not little my hope much	P2
The patient are the strong	Y2
	-
Yet come ah come The years run fast	Z2
And hearths grow swiftly cold	H
Hearts too but while blood beats in mine	A3
It holds you and will hold	H
	-
And so before you it lies bare	O2
Take it or let it lie	B3
It is an honest heart and yours	S
To all eternity	F
