| Of my soul's lofty gifts Are they not vain | B |
| To quench its haunting thirst for happiness | C |
| Have I not lov'd and striven and fail'd to bind | D |
| One true heart unto me whereon my own | E |
| Might find a resting place a home for all | F |
| Its burden of affections I depart | G |
| Unknown tho' Fame goes with me I must leave | H |
| The earth unknown Yet it may be that death | I |
| Shall give my name a power to win such tears | J |
| As would have made life precious | C |
| - | |
| I | - |
| ONE dream of passion and of beauty more | A |
| And in its bright fulfillment let me pour | A |
| My soul away Let earth retain a trace | K |
| Of that which lit my being tho' its race | K |
| Might have been loftier far Yet one more dream | L |
| From my deep spirit one victorious gleam | L |
| Ere I depart For thee alone for thee | M |
| May this last work this farewell triumph be | M |
| Thou lov'd so vainly I would leave enshrined | D |
| Something immortal of my heart and mind | D |
| That yet may speak to thee when I am gone | N |
| Shaking thine inmost bosom with a tone | E |
| Of lost affection something that may prove | O |
| What she hath been whose melancholy love | P |
| On thee was lavish'd silent pang and tear | Q |
| And fervent song that gush'd when none were near | R |
| And dream by night and weary thought by day | S |
| Stealing the brightness from her life away | S |
| While thou Awake not yet within me die | - |
| Under the burden and the agony | M |
| Of this vain tenderness my spirit wake | T |
| Ev'n for thy sorrowful affection's sake | T |
| Live in thy work breathe out that he may yet | U |
| Feeling sad mastery there perchance regret | U |
| Thine unrequited gift | V |
| - | |
| II | - |
| It comes the power | W |
| Within me born flows back my fruitless dower | X |
| That could not win me love Yet once again | Y |
| I greet it proudly with its rushing train | B |
| Of glorious images they throng they press | Z |
| A sudden joy lights up my loneliness | C |
| I shall not perish all | F |
| The bright work grows | A2 |
| Beneath my hand unfolding as a rose | A2 |
| Leaf after leaf to beauty line by line | B2 |
| I fix my thought heart soul to burn to shine | B2 |
| Thro' the pale marble's veins It grows and now | C2 |
| I give my own life's history to thy brow | C2 |
| Forsaken Ariadne thou shalt wear | Q |
| My form my lineaments but oh more fair | Q |
| Touched into lovelier being by the glow | D2 |
| Which in me dwells as by the summer light | E2 |
| All things are glorified From thee my wo | D2 |
| Shall yet look beautiful to meet his sight | E2 |
| - | |
| When I am pass'd away Thou art the mould | F2 |
| Wherein I pour the fervent thoughts th' untold | F2 |
| The self consuming Speak to him of me | M |
| Thou the deserted by the lonely sea | M |
| With the soft sadness of thine earnest eye | - |
| Speak to him lorn one deeply mournfully | D2 |
| Of all my love and grief Oh could I throw | D2 |
| Into thy frame a voice a sweet and low | D2 |
| And thrilling voice of song when he came nigh | - |
| To send the passion of its melody | M |
| Thro' his pierced bosom on its tones to bear | Q |
| My life's deep feeling as the southern air | Q |
| Wafts the faint myrtle's breath to rise to swell | D2 |
| To sink away in accents of farewell | D2 |
| Winning but one one gush of tears whose flow | D2 |
| Surely my parted spirit yet might know | D2 |
| If love be strong as death | I |
| - | |
| III | - |
| Now fair thou art | G |
| Thou form whose life is of my burning heart | G |
| Yet all the vision that within me wrought | G2 |
| I cannot make thee Oh I might have given | H2 |
| Birth to creations of far nobler thought | G2 |
| I might have kindled with the fire of heaven | H2 |
| Things not of such as die But I have been | I2 |
| Too much alone a heart whereon to lean | J2 |
| With all these deep affections that o'erflow | D2 |
| My aching soul and find no shore below | D2 |
| An eye to be my star a voice to bring | K2 |
| Hope o'er my path like sounds that breathe of spring | K2 |
| These are denied me dreamt of still in vain | B |
| Therefore my brief aspirings from the chain | B |
| Are ever but as some wild fitful song | L2 |
| Rising triumphantly to die ere long | L2 |
| In dirge like echoes | A2 |
| - | |
| IV | - |
| Yet the world will see | M |
| Little of this my parting work in thee | M |
| Thou shalt have fame Oh mockery give the reed | M2 |
| From storms a shelter give the drooping vine | B2 |
| Something round which its tendrils may entwine | B2 |
| Give the parch'd flower a rain drop and the meed | M2 |
| Of love's kind words to woman Worthless fame | N2 |
| That in his bosom wins not for my name | N2 |
| Th' abiding place it ask'd Yet how my heart | M2 |
| In its own fairy world of song and art | M2 |
| Once beat for praise Are those high longings o'er | W |
| That which I have been can I be no more | A |
| Never oh never more tho' still thy sky | - |
| Be blue as then my glorious Italy | M |
| And tho' the music whose rich breathings fill | D2 |
| Thine air with soul be wandering past me still | D2 |
| And tho' the mantle of thy sunlight streams | O2 |
| Unchang'd on forms instinct with poet dreams | O2 |
| - | |
| Never oh never more Where'er I move | - |
| The shadow of this broken hearted love | - |
| Is on me and around Too well they know | D2 |
| Whose life is all within too soon and well | D2 |
| When there the blight hath settled but I go | D2 |
| Under the silent wings of Peace to dwell | D2 |
| From the slow wasting from the lonely pain | B |
| The inward burning of those words 'in vain' | B |
| Sear'd on the heart I go 'Twill soon be past | M2 |
| Sunshine and song and bright Italian heaven | B |
| And thou oh thou on whom my spirit cast | M2 |
| Unvalued wealth who know'st not what was given | B |
| In that devotedness the sad and deep | P2 |
| And unrepaid farewell If I could weep | P2 |
| Once only once belov'd one on thy breast | M2 |
| Pouring my heart forth ere I sink to rest | M2 |
| But that were happiness and unto me | M |
| Earth's gift is fame Yet I was form'd to be | M |
| So richly bless'd With thee to watch the sky | - |
| Speaking not feeling but that thou wert nigh | - |
| - | |
| With thee to listen while the tones of song | L2 |
| Swept ev'n as part of our sweet air along | L2 |
| To listen silently with thee to gaze | Q2 |
| On forms the deified of olden days | Q2 |
| This had been joy enough and hour by hour | W |
| From its glad well springs drinking life and power | W |
| How had my spirit soar'd and made its fame | N2 |
| A glory for thy brow Dreams dreams the fire | W |
| Burns faint within me Yet I leave my name | N2 |
| As a deep thrill may linger on the lyre | R2 |
| When its full chords are hush'd awhile to live | - |
| And one day haply in thy heart revive | - |
| Sad thoughts of me I leave it with a sound | M2 |
| A spell o'er memory mournfully profound | M2 |
| I leave it on my country's air to dwell | D2 |
| Say proudly yet ' | - |
| 'Twas hers who lov'd me well | D2 |
| ' | - |
