THIS wind that through the silent woodland blows	A
O'er rippling corn and dreaming pastures goes	A
Straight to the garden where the heart of spring	B
Faints in the heart of summer's earliest rose	A
	-
	-
Dimpling the meadow's grassy green and grey	C
By furze that yellows all the common way	C
Gathering the gladness of the flowering broom	D
And too persistent fragrance of the may	C
	-
	-
Gathering whatever is of sweet and dear	E
The wandering wind has passed away from here	F
Has passed to where within your garden waits	G
The concentrated sweetness of the year	E
	-
	-
And in your leafed enclosure as you stood	H
Training your flowers to new beatitude	H
Ah did you guess the wind that kissed your hair	I
Had kissed my forehead in this solitude	H
	-
	-
Had kissed my lips and gathered there the heat	H
It breathed upon your mouth my only sweet	H
Had gathered from my eyes the tender thought	H
That drooped your eyes and stirred your pulses' beat	H
	-
	-
You only thought the sun's caress too warm	J
That lay upon your bosom and your arm	K
You did not guess the wind had brought from me	L
The unacknowledged fancy's fire and charm	K
	-
	-
You only said 'Too strong these sunlit skies	M
More dear the moments when the daylight dies '	-
And then you dreamed of meetings by your gate	H
In sanctity of sunset and moonrise	M
	-
	-
To night when he shall come and meet you there	I
To kiss your lips and hands and eyes and hair	I
To light with love and hope youth's waiting shrine	N
Think of my love and my assured despair	I
	-
	-
To night the wind will rob the languid flowers	M
Of secret scents kept close through daylit hours	M
It will blow coolly over dewy lawns	M
Where the laburnums fall in silent showers	M
	-
	-
I too shall learn a secret then shall wrest	H
Life's hidden things from out her languorous breast	H
Shall learn the way that leads away from life	O
Into the land where nothing lives but rest	H
	-
	-
You will not know that the cold air you prize	M
After the stormy sweetness of his sighs	M
Is cold from blowing through a moonlit wood	H
Over the hollow where a dead man lies	M
