Yes it was like you to forget	A
And cancel in the welcome of your smile	B
My deep arrears of debt	A
And with the putting forth of both your hands	C
To sweep away the bars my folly set	A
Between us bitter thoughts and harsh demands	C
And reckless deeds that seemed untrue	D
To love when all the while	B
My heart was aching through and through	D
For you sweet heart and only you	D
	-
Yet as I turned to come to you again	E
I thought there must be many a mile	B
Of sorrowful reproach to cross	F
And many an hour of mutual pain	G
To bear until I could make plain	G
That all my pride was but the fear of loss	F
And all my doubt the shadow of despair	H
To win a heart so innocent and fair	H
And even that which looked most ill	I
Was but the fever fret and effort vain	G
To dull the thirst which you alone could still	I
	-
But as I turned the desert miles were crossed	J
And when I came the weary hours were sped	K
For there you stood beside the open door	L
Glad gracious smiling as before	L
And with bright eyes and tender hands outspread	K
Restored me to the Eden I had lost	K
Never a word of cold reproof	M
No sharp reproach no glances that accuse	N
The culprit whom they hold aloof	M
Ah 't is not thus that other women use	O
The power they have Won	P
For there is none like you belov d none	P
Secure enough to do what you have done	P
Where did you learn this heavenly art	K
You sweetest and most wise of all that live	M
With silent welcome to impart	K
Assurance of the royal heart	K
That never questions where it would forgive	M
	-
None but a queen could pardon me like this	Q
My sovereign lady let me lay	R
Within each rosy palm a loyal kiss	Q
Of penitence then close the fingers up	S
Thus thus Now give the cup	S
Of full nepenthe in your crimson mouth	T
And come the garden blooms with bliss	Q
The wind is in the south	T
The rose of love with dew is wet	K
Dear it was like you to forget	K
