Summer is come again The sun is bright	A
And the soft wind is breathing Airy joy	B
Is sparkling in thine eyes and in their light	A
My soul is shining Come our day's employ	B
Shall be to revel in unlikely things	C
In gayest hopes fondest imaginings	C
And make believes of bliss Come we will talk	D
Of waning moons low winds and a dim sea	C
Till this fair summer deepening as we walk	D
Has grown a paradise for you and me	C
	-
But ah those leaves it was not summer's mouth	E
Breathed such a gold upon them And look there	F
That beech how red See through its boughs half bare	F
How low the sun lies in the mid day south	E
The sweetness is but one pined memory flown	G
Back from our summer wandering alone	G
See see the dead leaves falling Hear thy heart	H
Which with the year's pulse beating swift or slow	I
Takes in the changing world its changing part	H
Return a sigh an echo sad and low	I
To the faint scarcely audible sound	J
With which the leaf goes whispering to the ground	J
O love sad winter lieth at the door	K
Behind sad winter age we know no more	K
	-
Come round me dear hearts All of us will hold	L
Each of us compassed we are growing old	L
And if we be not as a ring enchanted	M
Hearts around heart with love to keep it gay	N
The young who claim the joy that haunted	O
Our visions once will push us far away	N
Into the desolate regions dim and gray	N
Where the sea moans and hath no other cry	P
The clouds hang low and have no tears	C
Old dreams lie mouldering in a pit of years	C
And hopes and songs all careless pass us by	P
But if all each do keep	Q
The rising tide of youth will sweep	Q
Around us with its laughter joyous waves	C
As ocean fair some palmy island laves	C
To loneliness heaved slow from out the deep	Q
And our youth hover round us like the breath	R
Of one that sleeps and sleepeth not to death	R
	-
Thus ringed eternally to parted graves	C
The sundered doors into one palace home	S
Stumbling through age's thickets we will go	I
Faltering but faithful willing to lie low	I
Willing to part not willing to deny	P
The lovely past where all the futures lie	P
	-
Oh if thou be who of the live art lord	T
Not of the dead Lo by that self same word	U
Thou art not lord of age but lord of youth	V
Because there is no age in sooth	V
Beyond its passing shows	C
A mist o'er life's dimmed lantern grows	C
Thou break'st the glass out streams the light	A
That knows not youth nor age	W
That fears no darkness nor the rage	W
Of windy tempests burning still more bright	A
Than when glad youth was all about	X
And summer winds were out	X
