Though life should come	A
With all its marshalled honours trump and drum	A
To proffer you the captaincy of some	A
Resounding exploit that shall fill	B
Man's pulses with commemorative thrill	B
And be a banner to far battle days	C
For truths unrisen upon untrod ways	C
What would your answer be	D
O heart once brave	E
Seek otherwhere for me	D
I watch beside a grave	E
	-
Though to some shining festival of thought	F
The sages call you from steep citadel	G
Of bastioned argument whose rampart gained	H
Yields the pure vision passionately sought	F
In dreams known well	G
But never yet in wakefulness attained	H
How should you answer to their summons save	E
I watch beside a grave	E
	-
Though Beauty from her fane within the soul	I
Of fire tongued seers descending	J
Or from the dream lit temples of the past	K
With feet immortal wending	J
Illuminate grief's antre swart and vast	K
With half veiled face that promises the whole	I
To him who holds her fast	K
What answer could you give	L
Sight of one face I crave	E
One only while I live	M
Woo elsewhere for I watch beside a grave	E
	-
Though love of the one heart that loves you best	N
A storm tossed messenger	O
Should beat its wings for shelter in your breast	N
Where clung its last year's nest	N
The nest you built together and made fast	K
Lest envious winds should stir	O
And winged each delicate thought to minister	O
With sweetness far amassed	K
To the young dreams within	P
What answer could it win	P
The nest was whelmed in sorrow's rising wave	E
Nor could I reach one drowning dream to save	E
I watch beside a grave	E
