Come sit thee by my side once more	A
'Tis long since thus we' met	B
And though our dream of love is o'er	C
Its sweetness lingers yet	B
Its transient day has long been past	D
Its flame has ceased to burn	E
But Memory holds its spirit fast	D
Safe in her sacred urn	E
	-
I will not chide thy wanderings	F
Nor ask why thou couldst flee	G
A heart whose deep affection's springs	F
Poured forth such love for thee	G
We may not curb the restless mind	H
Nor teach the wayward heart	I
To love against its will nor bind	H
It with the chains of art	I
	-
I would but tell thee how in tears	J
And bitterness my soul	K
Has yearned with dreams through long long years	L
Which it could not control	K
And how the thought that clingeth to	M
And twineth round the past	D
For ever in my heart shall glow	N
And be save one my last	D
	-
They say thou hast another's love	O
Well cherish it but thou	P
Its lack of strength and depth wilt prove	Q
Should sorrow cloud thy brow	P
Though she may own a statelier form	R
A fairer cheek than mine	S
Her heart cannot so well and warm	R
Respond each throb of thine	S
	-
Her words were gentle but their tone	T
Was sad as sorrow's sigh	U
A tear drop trembled in his own	T
As he sought her downcast eye	U
A chord was struck within his breast	V
That long untouched had lain	W
Old memories started from their rest	V
The maid was loved again	X
	-
Stanzas	Y
	-
On there are hours of sadness when the soul	K
Torn from its every stay and crushed beneath	Z
Its many griefs and spurning faith's control	K
Pants with an earnest longing for the death	A2
Which would for ever close its dark career	B2
With the pale shroud and the remorseless bier	C2
When the harsh sterile nothingness of life	D2
First breaks upon the hope deluded breast	V
And the heart sickens with the bootless strife	D2
That wrings its chords and longs to be at rest	V
Ev'n if the blow that frees it from distress	E2
Should strike it into utter nothingness	F2
	-
Ah nothingness The thought at times will come	G2
The mind will wrestle with the mystery	G
That clouds its being from its clay made home	H2
Its dwelling of a moment it will flee	G
Into the far depths of the vast UNKNOWN	T
In its vain searchings for th' eternal throne	T
Of that Omnipotence which gave it birth	I2
And giving it a nature which might suit	J2
A seraph bound its destiny to earth	I2
And a few years in which to eat the fruit	J2
Of life's strange tree so bitter at its core	A
Then death the quiet grave sleep and what more	A
	-
Whence came we whither go we All is still	K2
And voiceless in the past A veil is drawn	L2
Across the future by life's mystic rill	K2
We sit and ponder watching for the dawn	L2
Of some yet unconceived far reaching thought	M2
By which our nature's secret shall be taught	M2
Why sorrow is our element why sin	N2
Is native in us by what curse we bear	O2
An ever aching crushing void within	N2
Our secret souls and why the little share	O2
Of happiness that mingles with our fate	P2
Is of such fleeting transitory date	P2
	-
Our loves our hopes what are they fruits which turn	E
To ashes on our lips illusive lights	Q2
That cast a moment's brightness while they burn	E
Then die and leave a darkness which affrights	Q2
Our spirits with its thrice redoubled gloom	R2
Making the sky a pall the earth a tomb	R2
And yet these are the all of life for which	S2
'Tis worth the wearing of its chain to know	N
Wealth fame and power are but toys the rich	S2
The high and mighty with the base and low	N
Alike before the reaper Death must fall	T2
So be it in the grave is rest for all	T2
	-
Stanzas	Q2
	-
When the leaf is on the tree	G
And the bird is in the bower	C
And the butterfly and bee	G
Bear its treasures from the flower	C
When the fields put on the sheen	U2
That to young eyed Spring belongs	Q2
When the groves and forests green	U2
Echo with a thousand songs	Q2
	-
When wild Beauty wanders forth	V2
Giving with no stinted care	O2
All her loveliness to earth	I2
All her sweetness to the air	O2
Then the heart with gladness stirred	W2
Mindful of its griefs no more	A
Mounts and carols like a bird	W2
When the pearly shower is o'er	C
	-
But the summer's sunny hours	Q2
As we count them pass away	X2
And its fairest fruits and flowers	Q2
Are but food for stern decay	X2
Then with wailings deep and loud	Y2
Like the sea's in its unrest	V
Winter spreads his icy shroud	Y2
O'er the bare earth's frozen breast	V
	-
Thus the spirit's early gladness	Q2
Sorrow chills or time removes	Q2
And the soul in tears and sadness	Q2
Mourns its perished joys and loves	Q2
Hope will lose its trusting boldness	Q2
One by one its beams depart	I
And Despair with icy coldness	Q2
Winds its mantle round the heart	I
