SPRINGA
-
Across the street across the grassB
Across my life I watch her passB
No pure star on a dusky heightC
Hath eyes more brightC
No lily on her emerald bedD
A statelier headD
No dewdrop on the beaded thornE
More radiantly doth glow apartF
O she doth shine all these to scornE
Fair are they all star flower and dewG
She is the green bud breaking throH
The winter of my heartF
Two violets seeking ParadiseI
Have hid themselves within her eyesJ
Her lips are roses She doth wearH
A sunbeam woven in her hairH
And of the foam flake of the seaK
Her cheek and neck and bosom beK
And like a reed the low wind swaysL
Her slender figure glides alongM
Serenely tall and fairy sweetN
In this the springtide of her daysL
And O to make my life a songM
And lay it at her feetN

SUMMERH
-
And now the world recedes Time Space are fleetingA
All things but thee O Love have ceased to beK
Here where thy heart against my heart is beatingA
And like a charm thy white arms compass meK
And on thy blue veined breasts my head is lyingA
And all about my face is blown thy hairH
Here let Love speak his full heart in sweet sighingA
For speech were powerless now to voice his prayerH
Softly thy breath like scent of violets blowingA
Steals o er my cheek with slow delicious painO
Drink whilst thou canst the goblet crowned and flowingA
For hours like these will never come againP

AUTUMNQ
-
There is no bud of Spring about this forestR
And in our hearts too are the autumn leavesS
Where are the wings O Love on which thou soarestR
Meeter art thou to toil and bind the sheavesS
But there is mellower light upon our facesT
Thro all our veins the steadier currents flowU
The statelier charms remain and friendly gracesV
Tho dull and fitful wanes love s lava glowU

WINTERH
-
The slow bell tolls across the squareH
She doth not hear its rise and swellW
The frosts of age have silvered thereH
The clusters of her sun gold hairH
She sleepeth wellW
Strange city echoes here are sentR
Of reckless strife for prize and placeX
Of hearts with warring passions rentR
But Death s ineffable contentR
Is on her faceX
-
A touch a joy a something thereH
That for my sake hath never shoneY
Too well I deem in my despairH
Her fairest dream I may not shareH
And she is goneZ
-
Beyond these days of care and ruthA2
To those fair stars which poets singA
Where grows the tree of fadeless TruthA2
In gardens of Immortal YouthA2
Eternal SpringA
