When the rose of Morn through the Dawn was breakingA
And white on the hearth was last night's flameB
Thither to me 'twixt sleeping and wakingA
Singing out of the mists she cameB
-
And grey as the mists on the spectre meadowsC
Were the eyes that on my eyes she laidD
And her hair's red splendor through the shadowsC
Like to the marsh fire gleamed and playedD
-
And she sang of the wondrous far off placesE
That a man may only see in dreamsF
The death still odorous starlit spacesE
Where Time is lost and no life gleamsF
-
And there till the day had its crest upliftedG
She stood with her still face bent on meH
Then forth with the Dawn departing driftedI
Light as a foam fleck on the seaH
-
And now my heart is the heart of a swallowJ
That here no solace of rest may findK
Forevermore I follow and followJ
Her white feet glancing down the windK
-
And forevermore in my ears are ringingA
Oh red lips yet shall I kiss you dumbL
Twain sole words of that May morn's singingA
Calling to me Hither and ComeL
-
From flower bright fields to the wild lake sedgesH
Crying my steps when the Day has goneM
Till dim and small down the Night's pale edgesH
The stars have fluttered one by oneN
-
And light as the thought of a love forgottenN
The hours skim past while before me fliesH
That face of the Sun and Mist begottenO
Its singing lips and death cold eyesH
