LOVE'S DAWN	B
	-
	-
Still thine eyes haunt me in the darkness now	C
The dreamtime the hushed stillness of the night	D
I see them shining pure and earnest light	D
And here all lonely may I not avow	C
The thrill with which I ever meet their glance	E
At first they gazed a calm abstracted gaze	F
The while thy soul was floating through some maze	F
Of beautiful divinely peopled trance	E
But now I shrink from them in shame and fear	G
For they are gathering all their beams of light	D
Into an arrow keen intense and bright	D
Swerveless and starlike from its deep blue sphere	G
Piercing the cavernous darkness of my soul	H
Burning its foul recesses into view	I
Transfixing with sharp agony through and through	I
Whatever ls not brave and clean and whole	H
And yet I will not shrink although thou piercest	D
Into the inmost depths of all my being	J
I will not shrink although though now art seeing	J
My heart's caged lusts the wildest and the fiercest	D
The cynic thoughts that fret my homeless mind	D
My unbelief my selfishness my weakness	K
My dismal lack of charity and meekness	K
For amidst all the evil thou must find	D
Pervading cleansing and transmuting me	L
A fervent and most holy love for thee	L

MARRIAGE	M
	-
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Time is long since we were parted	D
I am sad and weary hearted	D
Foiled and almost overthrown	N
Fighting with the world alone	N
What am I when thou art gone	B
Come darling soon	O
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Let my failing head find rest Love	P
On thy pure and tender breast Love	P
Calm my overwearied brain	Q
Soothe away my heart's chill pain	Q
Bring me hope and strength again	R
Come darling soon	O
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Evermore the memory lingers	K
How your gentle flower soft fingers	K
With a touch when I lay ill	S
Through my fevered frame could thrill	S
Cool rich life divinely still	S
Come darling soon	O
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Dearest heart of love and meekness	K
Is not this unmanly weakness	K
Ah with thee such pure sweet calm	T
Heals my wounds with heavenly balm	T
I fighting feel my spear a palm	T
Come darling soon	O
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Though its perils groomed more fearful	U
I could fight undaunted cheerful	U
This stern Agony called Life	V
Were the pauses of the strife	V
Blest by thee my noble Wife	V
Come darling soon	O
	-
Come to me oh come to me	L
Strength and hope and faith are waning	J
With this fierce and pauseless straining	J
Ere my soul be conquered quite	D
Ere I fail from Truth and Right	D
Come my Life my joy my Light	D
Come Darling soon	O

PARTING	J
	-
	-
Weep not Dearest weep not so	K
Soon again we two shall meet	D
Who now part in bitter woe	K
After pain shall bliss be sweet	D
	-
Few more years of numb despair	W
Must we wander far apart	D
Through the desert dead and bare	W
Love is courage in the heart	D
	-
Few more years of bitter moan	N
O'er the rugged mountain height	D
Must we toil on each alone	N
Love can make all burdens light	D
	-
Few more years of stricken woe	K
Erring on an alien shore	X
Lone and friendless each must go	K
We will love then more and more	X
	-
Few short hours of doubt and dread	D
Trembling on the brink of Night	D
Spectre haunted each must tread	D
Love can burn all darkness bright	D
	-
All the long lone years must die	D
Then shall we together come	Y
Where beneath a calm bright sky	D
Bright waves bear us to our home	Z
	-
Weep not Dearest weep not so	K
Soon again we two must meet	D
Where the calm deep waters flow	K
Soothing surely care and woe	K
With their mystic murmur sweet	D

AT DEATH'S DOOR	X
	-
	-
Is this the second childhood's feeble sadness	K
My eyes are dim now and my hair is white	D
Yet never did the sunshine give more gladness	K
Never young Spring burst forth in green delight	D
More freshly never was the earth more fair	W
Never more rapture in the common air	W
	-
Still as I near great Death it seems his portal	U
Glides gently backward that I may gaze through	I
And glimpse far glories of the realm immortal	U
The world becomes transparent to my view	I
Diviner Heavens expand beyond the skies	K
The stars grow thoughtful with eternal eyes	K
	-
How the green grass and every flower swell yearning	J
To hint more clearly some high loveliness	K
Whose mystic soul within their forms is burning	J
How strives the sea for ever to express	K
With infinite heavings murmurings manifold	D
Some secret grandeur that will not be told	D
	-
The life of day is lulled to dreamful musing	J
And true life waketh in the world of dream	A2
While with the Present strangely interfusing	J
The Future and the Past together stream	A2
As if the long drawn waves of Time should be	L
Settling and mingling in Eternity	L
	-
With every golden dawn awakened lightly	L
I think I must have slept through Death's calm night	D
For lo how purely silently and brightly	L
The Heavens unfold their gates before my sight	D
The tranced sea of crystal spreadeth slowly	L
The burning Throne lives out with splendours holy	L
	-
Whereon I look to see thee come swift greeting	J
From where thou waitest for my laggard feet	D
Assured beyond impatience for the meeting	J
Crowned with triumphant love and faith complete	D
I look in vain as yet but every hour	B2
So summer rich may make the bud a flower	B2
	-
How well my Love the thoughtful Heavens endeavour	B2
To make this world and life and time all bear	W
Dream lightly on the soul ere it for ever	B2
Be parted from them Did I once despair	W
Through years of lonely anguish unassuaged	D
This calm can scarce believe that storms have raged	D
	-
Here is the blessing I now muse enchanted	D
In this sweet dawnlike sunset night comes then	R
Of restful sleep by gracious visions haunted	D
So with new morning I shall rise again	R
Full of young life and find my Love for aye	D
My Love whom I have missed this long sad day	D
