I	A
	-
Within a Temple of the Toes	B
Where twirled the passionate Wili	C
I saw full many a market rose	B
And sighed for my village lily	C
	-
II	A
	-
With cynical Adrian then I took flight	D
To that old dead city whose carol	C
Bursts out like a reveller's loud in the night	D
As he sits astride his barrel	C
	-
III	A
	-
We two were bound the Alps to scale	C
Up the rock reflecting river	E
Old times blew thro' me like a gale	C
And kept my thoughts in a quiver	E
	-
IV	-
	-
Hawking ruin wood slope and vine	F
Reeled silver laced under my vision	G
And into me passed with the green eyed wine	F
Knocking hard at my head for admission	G
	-
V	-
	-
I held the village lily cheap	H
And the dream around her idle	C
Lo quietly as I lay to sleep	H
The bells led me off to a bridal	C
	-
VI	-
	-
My bride wore the hood of a Beguine	G
And mine was the foot to falter	E
Three cowled monks rat eyed were seen	G
The Cross was of bones o'er the altar	E
	-
VII	-
	-
The Cross was of bones the priest that read	I
A spectacled necromancer	E
But at the fourth word the bride I led	I
Changed to an Opera dancer	E
	-
VIII	-
	-
A young ballet beauty who perked in her place	J
A darling of pink and spangles	J
One fair foot level with her face	J
And the hearts of men at her ankles	J
	-
IX	J
	-
She whirled she twirled the mock priest grinned	K
And quickly his mask unriddled	K
'Twas Adrian loud his old laughter dinned	K
Then he seized a fiddle and fiddled	K
	-
X	J
	-
He fiddled he glowed with the bottomless fire	E
Like Sathanas in feature	E
All through me he fiddled a wolfish desire	E
To dance with that bright creature	E
	-
XI	J
	-
And gathering courage I said to my soul	C
Throttle the thing that hinders	J
When the three cowled monks from black as coal	C
Waxed hot as furnace cinders	J
	-
XII	J
	-
They caught her up twirling they leapt between whiles	J
The fiddler flickered with laughter	E
Profanely they flew down the awful aisles	J
Where I went sliding after	E
	-
XIII	J
	-
Down the awful aisles by the fretted walls	J
Beneath the Gothic arches	J
King Skull in the black confessionals	J
Sat rub a dub dubbing his marches	J
	-
XIV	-
	-
Then the silent cold stone warriors frowned	K
The pictured saints strode forward	K
A whirlwind swept them from holy ground	K
A tempest puffed them nor'ward	K
	-
XV	-
	-
They shot through the great cathedral door	L
Like mallards they traversed ocean	G
And gazing below on its boiling floor	L
I marked a horrid commotion	G
	-
XVI	-
	-
Down a forest's long alleys they spun like tops	J
It seemed that for ages and ages	J
Thro' the Book of Life bereft of stops	J
They waltzed continuous pages	J
	-
XVII	-
	-
And ages after scarce awake	M
And my blood with the fever fretting	N
I stood alone by a forest lake	M
Whose shadows the moon were netting	N
	-
XVIII	-
	-
Lilies golden and white by the curls	J
Of their broad flat leaves hung swaying	N
A wreath of languid twining girls	J
Streamed upward long locks disarraying	N
	-
XIX	J
	-
Their cheeks had the satin frost glow of the moon	G
Their eyes the fire of Sirius	J
They circled and droned a monotonous tune	G
Abandoned to love delirious	J
	-
XX	J
	-
Like lengths of convolvulus torn from the hedge	O
And trailing the highway over	E
The dreamy eyed mistresses circled the sedge	O
And called for a lover a lover	E
	-
XXI	J
	-
I sank I rose through seas of eyes	J
In odorous swathes delicious	J
They fanned me with impetuous sighs	J
They hit me with kisses vicious	J
	-
XXII	J
	-
My ears were spelled my neck was coiled	K
And I with their fury was glowing	N
When the marbly waters bubbled and boiled	K
At a watery noise of crowing	N
	-
XXIII	J
	-
They dragged me low and low to the lake	N
Their kisses more stormily showered	K
On the emerald brink in the white moon's wake	N
An earthly damsel cowered	K
	-
XXIV	-
	-
Fresh heart sobs shook her knitted hands	J
Beneath a tiny suckling	N
As one by one of the doleful bands	J
Dived like a fairy duckling	N
	-
XXV	-
	-
And now my turn had come O me	J
What wisdom was mine that second	K
I dropped on the adorer's knee	J
To that sweet figure I beckoned	K
	-
XXVI	-
	-
Save me save me for now I know	G
The powers that Nature gave me	J
And the value of honest love I know	G
My village lily save me	J
	-
XXVII	-
	-
Come 'twixt me and the sisterhood	K
While the passion born phantoms are fleeing	N
Oh he that is true to flesh and blood	K
Is true to his own being	N
	-
XXVIII	-
	-
And he that is false to flesh and blood	K
Is false to the star within him	P
And the mad and hungry sisterhood	K
All under the tides shall win him	P
	-
XXIX	J
	-
My village lily save me save	-
For strength is with the holy	J
Already I shuddered to feel the wave	-
As I kept sinking slowly	J
	-
XXX	J
	-
I felt the cold wave and the under tug	N
Of the Brides when starting and shrinking	N
Lo Adrian tilts the water jug	N
And Bruges with morn is blinking	N
	-
XXXI	J
	-
Merrily sparkles sunny prime	Q
On gabled peak and arbour	E
Merrily rattles belfry chime	Q
The song of Sevilla's Barber	E
