Across the street across the grass | B |
Across my life I watch her pass | B |
No pure star on a dusky height | C |
Hath eyes more bright | C |
No lily on her emerald bed | D |
A statelier head | D |
No dewdrop on the beaded thorn | E |
More radiantly doth glow apart | F |
O she doth shine all these to scorn | E |
Fair are they all star flower and dew | G |
She is the green bud breaking thro | H |
The winter of my heart | F |
Two violets seeking Paradise | I |
Have hid themselves within her eyes | J |
Her lips are roses She doth wear | H |
A sunbeam woven in her hair | H |
And of the foam flake of the sea | K |
Her cheek and neck and bosom be | K |
And like a reed the low wind sways | L |
Her slender figure glides along | M |
Serenely tall and fairy sweet | N |
In this the springtide of her days | L |
And O to make my life a song | M |
And lay it at her feet | N |

SUMMER | H |
- | |
And now the world recedes Time Space are fleeting | A |
All things but thee O Love have ceased to be | K |
Here where thy heart against my heart is beating | A |
And like a charm thy white arms compass me | K |
And on thy blue veined breasts my head is lying | A |
And all about my face is blown thy hair | H |
Here let Love speak his full heart in sweet sighing | A |
For speech were powerless now to voice his prayer | H |
Softly thy breath like scent of violets blowing | A |
Steals o er my cheek with slow delicious pain | O |
Drink whilst thou canst the goblet crowned and flowing | A |
For hours like these will never come again | P |

AUTUMN | Q |
- | |
There is no bud of Spring about this forest | R |
And in our hearts too are the autumn leaves | S |
Where are the wings O Love on which thou soarest | R |
Meeter art thou to toil and bind the sheaves | S |
But there is mellower light upon our faces | T |
Thro all our veins the steadier currents flow | U |
The statelier charms remain and friendly graces | V |
Tho dull and fitful wanes love s lava glow | U |

WINTER | H |
- | |
The slow bell tolls across the square | H |
She doth not hear its rise and swell | W |
The frosts of age have silvered there | H |
The clusters of her sun gold hair | H |
She sleepeth well | W |
Strange city echoes here are sent | R |
Of reckless strife for prize and place | X |
Of hearts with warring passions rent | R |
But Death s ineffable content | R |
Is on her face | X |
- | |
A touch a joy a something there | H |
That for my sake hath never shone | Y |
Too well I deem in my despair | H |
Her fairest dream I may not share | H |
And she is gone | Z |
- | |
Beyond these days of care and ruth | A2 |
To those fair stars which poets sing | A |
Where grows the tree of fadeless Truth | A2 |
In gardens of Immortal Youth | A2 |
Eternal Spring | A |
