Time passed as passes time with common souls	A
Whose thoughts and wishes end with every day	B
For whom no future is whose present hours	C
Reveal no looming shade of that which was	D
	-
But Memory is immortal for she comes	E
To me from heaven or hell to me once more	F
As birds that migrate choose the ocean wind	G
That beats them helpless while it steers them home	H
So I was this way driven I chose this way	B
Of old my dwelling place where all my race	I
Are buried At first I was enchanted here	J
Impossible appeared the pall the shroud	K
And in my spell I trod the grassy streets	L
Where in the summer days mild oxen drew	M
The bristling hay and in the winter snows	N
The creaking masts and knees for mighty ships	O
Whose hulls were parted on the coral reefs	P
Or foundered in the depth of Arctic nights	Q
I wandered through the gardens rank and waste	R
Wonderful once when I was like the flowers	C
Along the weedy paths grew roses still	S
Surviving empire but remaining queens	T
	-
My mood established by the slumbrous town	U
Slumber with slumber dream with dream should be	V
I sought a mansion on the lonely shore	F
From which his feet made level with his head	W
Its occupant was gone I lived alone	X
Whoso beneath this roof had played his part	Y
In life's deep tragedy not here again	Z
Could be rehearsed its scenes of love or hate	A2
Upon the ancient walls my pictures hung	B2
Of men and women strong and beautiful	C2
Whose shoulders pushed along the world's great wheel	D2
Landscapes where cloud and mountain rose as one	E2
Where rivers crept in secret vales or rolled	F2
Past city walls whose towers and palaces	G2
By slaves were builded and by princes fallen	E2
And books whose pages ever told one tale	H2
The tale of human love in joy or pain	I2
The seed of our last hope Eternity	V
Days glided by this mirage cheating all	J2
Morn came eve went and we were tranquil still	S
If form and sound and color fail to show	K2
By poet's painter's sculptor's noble touch	L2
The subtle truth of Nature can I tell	M2
How Nature poised my mind in light and shade	N2
	-
But Memory is immortal and to me	V
She advanced silent slow a muffled shape	O2
One moonlight night I walked through long white lanes	P2
The sky and sea were like a frosted web	Q2
The air was heavy with familiar scents	R2
Which travelled down the wind I knew from where	S2
The fragrance of a grove of Northern pines	T2
My feet were hastening thither and my heart	Y
At last I stood before a funeral mound	U2
From which I fled when vanished love and life	V2
Long years ago fled from my father's house	W2
Banished myself to banish him I loved	X2
His broken history and his early grave	Y2
And in the moonlight Memory floated on	Z2
Immortal with my now immortal Love	A3
