The testimony of my loss and gain	A
Will I give utterance to though none may hear	B
When long ago bereft of all I loved	C
I sought in Nature recompense implored	D
For pity solace or forgetfulness	E
The dear familiar seasons as they pass	E
The seal of memory on every place	E
I said will give the sympathy I seek	F
The restoration which they owe to me	G
By day and night I prayed as futile prayers	E
As the wind's shriek in lonesome winter nights	E
By the sea they fell as empty as the shells	E
Upon its sands uncertain as its mists	E
With them I tracked the shadows of the woods	E
And sowed them in the fields among the seed	H
Whoso reaped harvest I could gather none	I
I wandered in the thickets giving tongue	J
Like a lost hound dazed by their solitude	K
The while birds called their mates the lilies blazed	L
And roses opened to the wandering airs	E
They vanished with the leaves that voyaged the brook	M
Which babbled of no story but its own	N
How blind I was to Nature's liberty	G
Grief stalked beside me I was sore beset	O
And could not hear the turning of Time's wheel	P
Still were the skies serene the earth most fair	Q
When with the doleful chant of dust to dust	R
Mingled the laughter of this sunlit sea	G
And through my tears I saw the ripples dance	E
And June's sweet breezes kiss the swaying elms	E
As he who turns the key within his door	S
And gazes at his walls before he goes	E
Then forward sets his steps so I set mine	T
To join a band whose purpose was to find	U
A world of action but my heart was cold	V
My mind supine Yet I remained with them	W
And answered to the roll called Honor Fame	X
Where were my memories and my ardent prayers	E
The years stood far behind their columns graved	V
Deep with the adage which youth names No More	S
Like one who enters some old storied hall	Y
And down its vista suddenly beholds	E
A banner waving out its old device	E
Of victory so suddenly I felt	V
My later life a void I was recalled	V
My prayers were answered and behold me here	B
Within the pale of all my loss and gain	A
The dear familiar seasons as they pass	E
The seal of memory on every place	E
Bestow the restoration which I sought	V
At peace I know as those who suffer know	Z
There is no secret we can wrest at will	A2
From Nature Time must bring and share with her	B2
The gift of resignation cure for grief	C2
And cast upon our ways this ray of hope	D2
That I the lost and Nature may be one	I
