Powdered and perfumed the full bee	A
Winged heavily across the clover	B
And where the hills were dim with dew	C
Purple and blue the west leaned over	B
	-
A willow spray dipped in the stream	D
Moving a gleam of silver ringing	E
And by a finny creek a maid	F
Filled all the shade with softest singing	E
	-
Listening my heart and soul at strife	G
On the edge of life I seemed to hover '	-
For I knew my love had come at last	H
That my joy was past and my gladness over	B
	-
I tiptoed gently up and stooped	I
Above her looped and shining tresses	J
And asked her of her kin and name	K
And why she came from fairy places	L
	-
She told me of a sunny coast	M
Beyond the most adventurous sailor	B
Where she had spent a thousand years	N
Out of the fears that now assail her	B
	-
And there she told me honey drops	O
Out of the tops of ash and willow	P
And in the mellow shadow Sleep	Q
Doth sweetly keep her poppy pillow	P
	-
	-
Nor Autumn with her brown line marks	R
The time of larks the length of roses	J
But song time there is over never	B
Nor flower time ever ever closes	J
	-
And wildly through uncurling ferns	S
Fast water turns down valleys singing	E
Filling with scented winds the dales	T
Setting the bells of sleep a ringing	E
	-
And when the thin moon lowly sinks '	-
Through cloudy chinks a silver glory	A
Lingers upon the left of night	U
Till dawn delights the meadows hoary	A
	-
And by the lakes the skies are white	U
Oh the delight when swans are coming	E
Among the flowers sweet joy bells peal	V
And quick bees wheel in drowsy humming	E
	-
The squirrel leaves her dusty house	W
And in the boughs makes fearless gambol	V
And falling down in fire drops red	X
The fruit is shed from every bramble	V
	-
Then gathered all about the trees	Y
Glad galaxies of youth are dancing	E
Treading the perfume of the flowers	Z
Filling the hours with mazy glancing	E
	-
And when the dance is done the trees	Y
Are left to Peace and the brown woodpecker	B
And on the western slopes of sky	A2
The day's blue eye begins to flicker	B
	-
	-
But at the sighing of the leaves	B2
When all earth grieves for lights departed	C2
An ancient and a sad desire	B
Steals in to tire the human hearted	C2
	-
No fairy aid can save them now	D2
Nor turn their prow upon the ocean	E2
The hundred years that missed each heart	F2
Above them start their wheels in motion	E2
	-
And so our loves are lost she sighed	G2
And far and wide we seek new treasure	B
For who on Time or Timeless hills	H2
Can live the ills of loveless leisure	B
	-
' Fairer than Usna's youngest son	E2
my poor one what flower bed holds you	C
Or wrecked upon the shores of home	I2
What wave of foam with white enfolds you	C
	-
' You rode with kings on hills of green	J2
And lovely queens have served you banquet	K2
Sweet wine from berries bruised they brought	L2
And shyly sought the lips which drank it	M2
	-
' But in your dim grave of the sea	A
There shall not be a friend to love you	C
And ever heedless of your loss	N2
The earth ships cross the storms above you	C
	-
' And still the chase goes on and still	V
The wine shall spill and vacant places	L
Be given over to the new	C
As love untrue keeps changing faces	L
	-
	-
' And I must wander with my song	O2
Far from the young till Love returning	E
Brings me the beautiful reward	P2
Of some heart stirred by my long yearning '	-
	-
Friend have you heard a bird lament	Q2
When sleet is sent for April weather	B
As beautiful she told her grief	R2
As down through leaf and flower I led her	B
	-
And friend could I remain unstirred	Q2
Without a word for such a sorrow	P
Say can the lark forget the cloud	Q2
When poppies shroud the seeded furrow	P
	-
Like a poor widow whose late grief	R2
Seeks for relief in lonely byeways	L
The moon companionless and dim	S2
Took her dull rim through starless highways	L
	-
I was too weak with dreams to feel	V
Enchantment steal with guilt upon me	A
She slipped a flower upon the wind	Q2
And laughed to find how she had won me	A
	-
From hill to hill from land to land	Q2
Her lovely hand is beckoning for me	A
I follow on through dangerous zones	L
Cross dead men's bones and oceans stormy	A
	-
Some day I know she'll wait at last	Q2
And lock me fast in white embraces	L
And down mysterious ways of love	T2
We two shall move to fairy places	L
