SEVEN TIMES ONE EXULTATION	A
	-
There's no dew left on the daisies and clover	B
There's no rain left in heaven	A
I've said my seven times over and over	B
Seven times one are seven	A
	-
I am old so old I can write a letter	B
My birthday lessons are done	A
The lambs play always they know no better	B
They are only one times one	A
	-
O moon in the night I have seen you sailing	C
And shining so round and low	D
You were bright ah bright but your light is failing	C
You are nothing now but a bow	E
	-
You moon have you done something wrong in heaven	A
That God has hidden your face	F
I hope if you have you will soon be forgiven	A
And shine again in your place	F
	-
O velvet bee you're a dusty fellow	D
You've powdered your legs with gold	G
O brave marsh marybuds rich and yellow	D
Give me your money to hold	G
	-
O columbine open your folded wrapper	B
Where two twin turtle doves dwell	H
O cuckoo pint toll me the purple clapper	B
That hangs in your clear green bell	H
	-
And show me your nest with the young ones in it	I
I will not steal them away	J
I am old you may trust me linnet linnet	I
I am seven times one to day	J
	-
	-
SEVEN TIMES TWO ROMANCE	K
	-
You bells in the steeple ring ring out your changes	L
How many soever they be	M
And let the brown meadow lark's note as he ranges	L
Come over come over to me	M
	-
Yet bird's clearest carol by fall or by swelling	C
No magical sense conveys	N
And bells have forgotten their old art of telling	C
The fortune of future days	N
	-
Turn again turn again once they rang cheerily	H
While a boy listened alone	A
Made his heart yearn again musing so wearily	H
All by himself on a stone	A
	-
Poor bells I forgive you your good days are over	B
And mine they are yet to be	H
No listening no longing shall aught aught discover	B
You leave the story to me	H
	-
The foxglove shoots out of the green matted heather	B
And hangeth her hoods of snow	D
She was idle and slept till the sunshiny weather	B
O children take long to grow	D
	-
I wish and I wish that the spring would go faster	B
Nor long summer bide so late	O
And I could grow on like the foxglove and aster	B
For some things are ill to wait	O
	-
I wait for the day when dear hearts shall discover	B
While dear hands are laid on my head	P
The child is a woman the book may close over	B
For all the lessons are said	P
	-
I wait for my story the birds cannot sing it	I
Not one as he sits on the tree	H
The bells cannot ring it but long years O bring it	I
Such as I wish it to be	H
	-
	-
SEVEN TIMES THREE LOVE	Q
	-
I leaned out of window I smelt the white clover	B
Dark dark was the garden I saw not the gate	O
Now if there be footsteps he comes my one lover	B
Hush nightingale hush O sweet nightingale wait	O
Till I listen and hear	R
If a step draweth near	S
For my love he is late	O
	-
The skies in the darkness stoop nearer and nearer	B
A cluster of stars hangs like fruit in the tree	H
The fall of the water comes sweeter comes clearer	B
To what art thou listening and what dost thou see	H
Let the star clusters glow	D
Let the sweet waters flow	D
And cross quickly to me	H
	-
You night moths that hover where honey brims over	B
From sycamore blossoms or settle or sleep	T
You glowworms shine out and the pathway discover	B
To him that comes darkling along the rough steep	T
Ah my sailor make haste	U
For the time runs to waste	U
And my love lieth deep	T
	-
Too deep for swift telling and yet my one lover	B
I've conned thee an answer it waits thee to night	V
	-
By the sycamore passed he and through the white clover	B
Then all the sweet speech I had fashioned took flight	V
But I'll love him more more	W
Than e'er wife loved before	W
Be the days dark or bright	V
	-
	-
SEVEN TIMES FOUR MATERNITY	H
	-
Heigh ho daisies and buttercups	X
Fair yellow daffodils stately and tall	H
When the wind wakes how they rock in the grasses	L
And dance with the cuckoo buds slender and small	H
Here's two bonny boys and here's mother's own lasses	L
Eager to gather them all	H
	-
Heigh ho daisies and buttercups	L
Mother shall thread them a daisy chain	A
Sing them a song of the pretty hedge sparrow	D
That loved her brown little ones loved them full fain	A
Sing Heart thou art wide though the house be but narrow	D
Sing once and sing it again	A
	-
Heigh ho daisies and buttercups	L
Sweet wagging cowslips they bend and they bow	E
A ship sails afar over warm ocean waters	L
And haply one musing doth stand at her prow	E
O bonny brown sons and O sweet little daughters	L
Maybe he thinks on you now	E
	-
Heigh ho daisies and buttercups	L
Fair yellow daffodils stately and tall	H
A sunshiny world full of laughter and leisure	B
And fresh hearts unconscious of sorrow and thrall	H
Send down on their pleasure smiles passing its measure	B
God that is over us all	H
	-
	-
SEVEN TIMES FIVE WIDOWHOOD	H
	-
I sleep and rest my heart makes moan	A
Before I am well awake	Y
Let me bleed O let me alone	A
Since I must not break	Y
	-
For children wake though fathers sleep	T
With a stone at foot and at head	H
O sleepless God forever keep	T
Keep both living and dead	H
	-
I lift mine eyes and what to see	L
But a world happy and fair	Z
I have not wished it to mourn with me	L
Comfort is not there	Z
	-
O what anear but golden brooms	L
And a waste of reedy rills	L
O what afar but the fine glooms	L
On the rare blue hills	L
	-
I shall not die but live forlore	Z
How bitter it is to part	H
O to meet thee my love once more	Z
O my heart my heart	H
	-
No more to hear no more to see	L
O that an echo might wake	Y
And waft one note of thy psalm to me	L
Ere my heart strings break	Y
	-
I should know it how faint soe'er	Z
And with angel voices blent	H
O once to feel thy spirit anear	Z
I could be content	H
	-
Or once between the gates of gold	H
While an angel entering trod	H
But once thee sitting to behold	H
On the hills of God	H
	-
	-
SEVEN TIMES SIX GIVING IN MARRIAGE	A2
	-
To bear to nurse to rear	Z
To watch and then to lose	L
To see my bright ones disappear	Z
Drawn up like morning dews	L
To bear to nurse to rear	Z
To watch and then to lose	L
This have I done when God drew near	Z
Among his own to choose	L
	-
To hear to heed to wed	H
And with thy lord depart	H
In tears that he as soon as shed	H
Will let no longer smart	H
To hear to heed to wed	H
This while thou didst I smiled	H
For now it was not God who said	H
Mother give ME thy child	H
	-
O fond O fool and blind	H
To God I gave with tears	L
But when a man like grace would find	H
My soul put by her fears	L
O fond O fool and blind	H
God guards in happier spheres	L
That man will guard where he did bind	H
Is hope for unknown years	L
	-
To hear to heed to wed	H
Fair lot that maidens choose	L
Thy mother's tenderest words are said	H
Thy face no more she views	L
Thy mother's lot my dear	Z
She doth in nought accuse	L
Her lot to bear to nurse to rear	Z
To love and then to lose	L

SEVEN TIMES SEVEN LONGING FOR HOME	B2
	-
I	-
	-
A song of a boat	H
There was once a boat on a billow	D
Lightly she rocked to her port remote	H
And the foam was white in her wake like snow	D
And her frail mast bowed when the breeze would blow	D
And bent like a wand of willow	D
	-
II	-
	-
I shaded mine eyes one day when a boat	H
Went curtseying over the billow	D
I marked her course till a dancing mote	H
She faded out on the moonlit foam	B2
And I stayed behind in the dear loved home	B2
And my thoughts all day were about the boat	H
And my dreams upon the pillow	D
	-
III	-
	-
I pray you hear my song of a boat	H
For it is but short	H
My boat you shall find none fairer afloat	H
In river or port	H
Long I looked out for the lad she bore	Z
On the open desolate sea	L
And I think he sailed to the heavenly shore	Z
For he came not back to me	L
Ah me	L
	-
IV	Q
	-
A song of a nest	H
There was once a nest in a hollow	D
Down in the mosses and knot grass pressed	H
Soft and warm and full to the brim	C2
Vetches leaned over it purple and dim	C2
With buttercup buds to follow	D
	-
V	Q
	-
I pray you hear my song of a nest	H
For it is not long	D2
You shall never light in a summer quest	H
The bushes among	E2
Shall never light on a prouder sitter	Z
A fairer nestful nor ever know	D
A softer sound than their tender twitter	Z
That wind like did come and go	D
	-
VI	Q
	-
I had a nestful once of my own	A
Ah happy happy I	Q
Right dearly I loved them but when they were grown	A
They spread out their wings to fly	Q
O one after one they flew away	J
Far up to the heavenly blue	H
To the better country the upper day	J
And I wish I was going too	H
	-
VII	Q
	-
I pray you what is the nest to me	Q
My empty nest	H
And what is the shore where I stood to see	Q
My boat sail down to the west	H
Can I call that home where I anchor yet	H
Though my good man has sailed	H
Can I call that home where my nest was set	H
Now all its hope hath failed	H
Nay but the port where my sailor went	H
And the land where my nestlings be	Q
There is the home where my thoughts are sent	H
The only home for me	Q
Ah me	Q
