THE morning broke in a pearly haze	A
Then the east grew duskly red	B
'Oh my only day oh my day of days	A
To day he will come ' I said	B
	-
	-
As the sun climbed up in the clearer sky	C
The mists fell down at his feet	D
'There is sunshine too in my heart ' said I	C
'For to day is the day we meet	D
	-
	-
Perhaps even now he is journeying fast	E
Perhaps he is almost here '	-
And my heart leaped up at each foot that passed	E
With the thought that he might be near	F
	-
	-
In my garden the fairest flowers that grew	G
I plucked for him sweet dew wet	H
And held them ready the whole day through	G
To gladden him when we met	H
	-
	-
The sun shone warm on the longing earth	I
That thrilled to his fervent kiss	J
But what to me was the sun's smile worth	I
When I longed for that smile of his	K
	-
	-
The hours in their flight seemed strangely slow	L
For the sake of the hour to be	M
'Go swiftly now and more slowly go	L
When he shall be here with me '	-
	-
	-
But the level light of late afternoon	N
Fell cold on me still alone	O
My flowers were dying gathered too soon	N
And my whole day's work undone	P
	-
	-
With empty heart and unsatisfied	Q
I turned from the red sunset	H
'Short time for his coming is left ' I cried	Q
'It shall not be evening yet '	-
	-
	-
But the sky grows pale and a weak wind wakes	R
And long flights of birds go home	S
And slowly and surely the day's spell breaks	R
And I know that he will not come	T
	-
	-
Perhaps he has never turned my way	U
Nor known how my heart would wait	V
Perhaps he has sought me the whole long day	U
And has failed at my very gate	V
	-
	-
Perhaps all these hours of increasing pain	W
Have been only a dream of a day	U
And after the night I shall wake again	X
And 'To day he comes ' I shall say	U
