I	A
But yesterday	B
I looked away	B
O'er happy lands where sunshine lay	B
In golden blots	C
Inlaid with spots	C
Of shade and wild forget me nots	C
	-
My head was fair	D
With flaxen hair	D
And fragrant breezes faint and rare	D
And warm with drouth	E
From out the south	E
Blew all my curls across my mouth	E
	-
And cool and sweet	F
My naked feet	F
Found dewy pathways through the wheat	F
And out again	G
Where down the lane	H
The dust was dimpled with the rain	H
	-
II	A
But yesterday	B
Adream astray	B
From morning's red to evening's dray	B
O'er dales and hills	I
Of daffodils	I
And lorn sweet fluting whippoorwills	I
	-
I knew nor cares	J
Nor tears nor prayers	J
A mortal god crowned unawares	J
With sunset and	K
A scepter wand	L
Of apple blossoms in my hand	M
	-
The dewy blue	N
Of twilight grew	N
To purple with a star or two	N
Whose lisping rays	O
Failed in the blaze	O
Of sudden fireflies through the haze	O
	-
III	A
But yesterday	B
I heard the lay	B
Of summer birds when I as they	B
With breast and wing	P
All quivering	P
With life and love could only sing	P
	-
My head was leant	Q
Where with it blent	Q
A maiden's o'er her instrument	Q
While all the night	Q
From vale to height	Q
Was filled with echoes of delight	Q
	-
And all our dreams	R
Were lit with gleams	R
Of that lost land of reedy streams	R
Along whose brim	S
Forever swim	S
Pan's lilies laughing up at him	S
	-
IV	-
But yesterday	Q
O blooms of May	Q
And summer roses where away	Q
O stars above	-
And lips of love	-
And all the honeyed sweets thereof	-
	-
O lad and lass	T
And orchard pass	T
And briered lane and daisied grass	T
O gleam and gloom	U
And woodland bloom	U
And breezy breaths of all perfume	U
	-
No more for me	V
Or mine shall be	V
Thy raptures save in memory	V
No more no more	W
Till through the Door	W
Of Glory gleam the days of yore	W
