We reached the place by night	A
And heard the waves breaking	B
They came to meet us with candles alight	A
To show the path we were taking	B
A myrtle trained on the gate was white	A
With tufted flowers down shaking	B
	-
With head beneath her wing	B
A little wren was sleeping	B
So near I had found it an easy thing	B
To steal her for my keeping	B
From the myrtle bough that with easy swing	B
Across the path was sweeping	B
	-
Down rocky steps rough hewed	A
Where cup mosses flowered	A
And under the trees all twisted and rude	A
Wherewith the dell was dowered	A
They led us where deep in its solitude	A
Lay the cottage leaf embowered	A
	-
The thatch was all bespread	A
With climbing passion flowers	C
They were wet and glistened with raindrops shed	A
That day in genial showers	C
Was never a sweeter nest we said	A
Than this little nest of ours	C
	-
We laid us down to sleep	D
But as for me waking	B
I marked the plunge of the muffled deep	D
On its sandy reaches breaking	B
For heart joyance doth sometimes keep	D
From slumber like heart aching	B
	-
And I was glad that night	A
With no reason ready	A
To give my own heart for its deep delight	A
That flowed like some tidal eddy	A
Or shone like a star that was rising bright	A
With comforting radiance steady	A
	-
But on a sudden hark	E
Music struck asunder	F
Those meshes of bliss and I wept in the dark	E
So sweet was the unseen wonder	F
So swiftly it touched as if struck at a mark	E
The trouble that joy kept under	F
	-
I rose the moon outshone	G
I saw the sea heaving	B
And a little vessel sailing alone	G
The small crisp wavelet cleaving	B
'Twas she as she sailed to her port unknown	G
Was that track of sweetness leaving	B
	-
We know they music made	A
In heaven ere man's creation	H
But when God threw it down to us that strayed	A
It dropt with lamentation	H
And ever since doth its sweetness shade	A
With sighs for its first station	H
	-
Its joy suggests regret	A
Its most for more is yearning	B
And it brings to the soul that its voice hath met	A
No rest that cadence learning	B
But a conscious part in the sighs that fret	A
Its nature for returning	B
	-
O Eve sweet Eve methought	A
When sometimes comfort winning	B
As she watched the first children's tender sport	A
Sole joy born since her sinning	B
If a bird anear them sang it brought	A
The pang as at beginning	B
	-
While swam the unshed tear	I
Her prattlers little heeding	B
Would murmur This bird with its carol clear	J
When the red clay was kneaden	H
And God made Adam our father dear	J
Sang to him thus in Eden	H
	-
The moon went in the sky	B
And earth and sea hiding	B
I laid me down with the yearning sigh	B
Of that strain in my heart abiding	B
I slept and the barque that had sailed so nigh	B
In my dream was ever gliding	B
	-
I slept but waked amazed	A
With sudden noise frighted	A
And voices without and a flash that dazed	A
My eyes from candles lighted	A
Ah surely methought by these shouts upraised	A
Some travellers are benighted	A
	-
A voice was at my side	A
Waken madam waken	H
The long prayed for ship at her anchor doth ride	A
Let the child from its rest be taken	H
For the captain doth weary for babe and for bride	A
Waken madam waken	H
	-
The home you left but late	A
He speeds to it light hearted	A
By the wires he sent this news and straight	A
To you with it they started	A
O joy for a yearning heart too great	A
O union for the parted	A
	-
We rose up in the night	A
The morning star was shining	B
We carried the child in its slumber light	A
Out by the myrtles twining	B
Orion over the sea hung bright	A
And glorious in declining	B
	-
Mother to meet her son	H
Smiled first then wept the rather	F
And wife to bind up those links undone	H
And cherished words to gather	F
And to show the face of her little one	H
That had never seen its father	F
	-
That cottage in a chine	H
We were not to behold it	A
But there may the purest of sunbeams shine	H
May freshest flowers enfold it	A
For sake of the news which our hearts must twine	H
With the bower where we were told it	A
	-
Now oft left lone again	H
Sit mother and sit daughter	F
And bless the good ship that sailed over the main	H
And the favoring winds that brought her	F
While still some new beauty they fable and feign	H
For the cottage by the water	F
