She walks in a lonely garden	A
On the path her feet have made	B
With high heeled shoes gold buckled	C
And gown of a flowered brocade	B
	-
The hair that falls on her shoulders	D
Half held with a ribbon tie	E
Once glowed like the wheat in autumn	F
Now grey as a winter sky	E
	-
Time on her brow with rough fingers	D
Writes his record of smiles and tears	G
And her mind like a golden timepiece	H
He stopped in the long past years	I
	-
At the foot of the lonely garden	A
When she comes to the trysting place	J
She knew of old there she lingers	D
With a blush on her withered face	J
	-
The children out on the common	A
They climb to the garden wall	K
And laugh He will come to morrow	L
Who never will come at all	K
	-
And often over our sewing	M
As I and my neighbour sit	N
To gossip over this story	O
That has never an end to it	N
	-
He is dead I would say that lover	P
Who left her so long ago	L
But my neighbour would rest her needle	Q
To answer He's false I know	L
	-
For could it be he were sleeping	M
With a love that was such as this	R
He'd have burst through the gates of silence	S
And flown to meet her kiss	R
	-
Is she best with tears or laughter	P
This dame in her old brocade	B
My neighbour says she is holy	O
With a faith that will not fade	B
	-
	-
	-
But the children out on the common	A
They answer her dreary call	K
And say He will come to morrow	L
Who never will come at all	K
