I	A
	-
With Life and Death I walked when Love appeared	B
And made them on each side a shadow seem	C
Through wooded vales the land of dawn we neared	B
Where down smooth rapids whirls the helmless dream	C
To fall on daylight and night puts away	D
Her darker veil for grey	D
	-
II	A
	-
In that grey veil green grassblades brushed we by	A
We came where woods breathed sharp and overhead	E
Rocks raised clear horns on a transforming sky	A
Around save for those shapes with him who led	E
And linked them desert varied by no sign	F
Of other life than mine	F
	-
III	A
	-
By this the dark winged planet raying wide	G
From the mild pearl glow to the rose upborne	F
Drew in his fires less faint than far descried	G
Pure fronted on a stronger wave of morn	F
And those two shapes the splendour interweaved	G
Hung web like sank and heaved	G
	-
IV	-
	-
Love took my hand when hidden stood the sun	F
To fling his robe on shoulder heights of snow	F
Then said There lie they Life and Death in one	F
Whichever is the other is but know	F
It is thy craving self that thou dost see	H
Not in them seeing me	H
	-
V	H
	-
Shall man into the mystery of breath	I
From his quick beating pulse a pathway spy	A
Or learn the secret of the shrouded death	I
By lifting up the lid of a white eye	A
Cleave thou thy way with fathering desire	J
Of fire to reach to fire	J
	-
VI	A
	-
Look now where Colour the soul's bridegroom makes	K
The house of heaven splendid for the bride	G
To him as leaps a fountain she awakes	K
In knotting arms yet boundless him beside	G
She holds the flower to heaven and by his power	J
Brings heaven to the flower	J
	-
VII	A
	-
He gives her homeliness in desert air	L
And sovereignty in spaciousness he leads	K
Through widening chambers of surprise to where	L
Throbs rapture near an end that aye recedes	K
Because his touch is infinite and lends	K
A yonder to all ends	K
	-
VIII	A
	-
Death begs of Life his blush Life Death persuades	K
To keep long day with his caresses graced	G
He is the heart of light the wing of shades	K
The crown of beauty never soul embraced	G
Of him can harbour unfaith soul of him	M
Possessed walks never dim	M
	-
IX	K
	-
Love eyed his rosy memories he sang	N
O bloom of dawn breathed up from the gold sheaf	A
Held springing beneath Orient that dost hang	N
The space of dewdrops running over leaf	A
Thy fleetingness is bigger in the ghost	G
Than Time with all his host	G
	-
X	K
	-
Of thee to say behold has said adieu	G
But love remembers how the sky was green	F
And how the grasses glimmered lightest blue	G
How saint like grey took fervour how the screen	F
Of cloud grew violet how thy moment came	O
Between a blush and flame	O
	-
XI	K
	-
Love saw the emissary eglantine	F
Break wave round thy white feet above the gloom	P
Lay finger on thy star thy raiment line	F
With cherub wing and limb wed thy soft bloom	P
Gold quivering like sunrays in thistle down	F
Earth under rolling brown	F
	-
XII	K
	-
They do not look through love to look on thee	K
Grave heavenliness nor know they joy of sight	G
Who deem the wave of rapt desire must be	K
Its wrecking and last issue of delight	G
Dead seasons quicken in one petal spot	G
Of colour unforgot	G
	-
XIII	K
	-
This way have men come out of brutishness	K
To spell the letters of the sky and read	G
A reflex upon earth else meaningless	K
With thee O fount of the Untimed to lead	G
Drink they of thee thee eyeing they unaged	G
Shall on through brave wars waged	G
	-
XIV	A
	-
More gardens will they win than any lost	G
The vile plucked out of them the unlovely slain	F
Not forfeiting the beast with which they are crossed	G
To stature of the Gods will they attain	F
They shall uplift their Earth to meet her Lord	G
Themselves the attuning chord	G
	-
XV	A
	-
The song had ceased my vision with the song	Q
Then of those Shadows which one made descent	G
Beside me I knew not but Life ere long	Q
Came on me in the public ways and bent	G
Eyes deeper than of old Death met I too	G
And saw the dawn glow through	G
