Old it is and worn and battered	A
As I lift it from the stall	B
And the leaves are frayed and tattered	A
And the pendent sides are shattered	A
Pierced and blackened by a ball	B
	-
'Tis the tale of grief and gladness	C
Told by sad St Pierre of yore	D
That in front of France's madness	C
Hangs a strange seductive sadness	C
Grown pathetic evermore	D
	-
And a perfume round it hovers	C
Which the pages half reveal	E
For a folded corner covers	C
Interlaced two names of lovers	C
A Savignac and Lucile	E
	-
As I read I marvel whether	F
In some pleasant old ch teau	A
Once they read this book together	F
In the scented summer weather	F
With the shining Loire below	G
	-
Nooked secluded from espial	G
Did Love slip and snare them so	G
While the hours danced round the dial	G
To the sound of flute and viol	G
In that pleasant old ch teau	A
	-
Did it happen that no single	G
Word of mouth could either speak	H
Did the brown and gold hair mingle	G
Did the shamed skin thrill and tingle	G
To the shock of cheek and cheek	H
	-
Did they feel with that first flushing	I
Some new sudden power to feel	G
Some new inner spring set gushing	I
At the names together rushing	I
Of Savignac and Lucile	G
	-
Did he drop on knee before her	F
Son Amour son Coeur sa Reine	J
In his high flown way adore her	F
Urgent eloquent implore her	F
Plead his pleasure and his pain	J
	-
Did she turn with sight swift dimming	I
And the quivering lip we know	G
With the full slow eyelid brimming	I
With the languorous pupil swimming	I
Like the love of Mirabeau	K
	-
Stretch her hand from cloudy frilling	I
For his eager lips to press	C
In a flash all fate fulfilling	I
Did he catch her trembling thrilling	I
Crushing life to one caress	C
	-
Did they sit in that dim sweetness	C
Of attained love's after calm	L
Marking not the world its meetness	C
Marking Time not nor his fleetness	C
Only happy palm to palm	L
	-
Till at last she sunlight smiting	I
Red on wrist and cheek and hair	M
Sought the page where love first lighting	I
Fixed their fate and in this writing	I
Fixed the record of it there	M
	-
	-
	-
Did they marry midst the smother	F
Shame and slaughter of it all	G
Did she wander like that other	F
Woful wistful wife and mother	F
Round and round his prison wall	G
	-
Wander wailing as the plover	F
Waileth wheeleth desolate	A
Heedless of the hawk above her	F
While as yet the rushes cover	F
Waning fast her wounded mate	A
	-
Wander till his love's eyes met hers	C
Fixed and wide in their despair	M
Did he burst his prison fetters	C
Did he write sweet yearning letters	C
A Lucile en Angleterre	M
	-
Letters where the reader reading	I
Halts him with a sudden stop	N
For he feels a man's heart bleeding	I
Draining out its pain's exceeding	I
Half a life at every drop	N
	-
Letters where Love's iteration	G
Seems to warble and to rave	O
Letters where the pent sensation	G
Leaps to lyric exultation	G
Like a song bird from a grave	O
	-
Where through Passion's wild repeating	I
Peep the Pagan and the Gaul	G
Politics and love competing	I
Abelard and Cato greeting	I
Rousseau ramping over all	G
	-
Yet your critic's right you waive it	A
Whirled along the fever flood	A
And its touch of truth shall save it	A
And its tender rain shall lave it	A
For at least you read Amavit	A
Written there in tears of blood	A
	-
	-
	-
Did they hunt him to his hiding	I
Tracking traces in the snow	G
Did they tempt him out confiding	I
Shoot him ruthless down deriding	I
By the ruined old ch teau	A
	-
Left to lie with thin lips resting	I
Frozen to a smile of scorn	G
Just the bitter thought's suggesting	I
At this excellent new jesting	I
Of the rabble Devil born	G
	-
Till some tiger monkey finding	I
These few words the covers bear	M
Some swift rush of pity blinding	I
Sent them in the shot pierced binding	I
A Lucile en Angleterre	M
	-
	-
	-
Fancies only Nought the covers	C
Nothing more the leaves reveal	G
Yet I love it for its lovers	C
For the dream that round it hovers	C
Of Savignac and Lucile	G
