Throb throb throb	A
Far away in the blue transparent Night	B
On the outer horizon of a dreaming consciousness	C
She hears the sound of her lover's nearing boat	D
Afar afloat	D
On the river's loneliness where the Stars are the only light	B
Hear the sound of the straining wood	E
Like a broken sob	A
Of a heart's distress	F
Loving misunderstood	E
	-
She lies with her loose hair spent in soft disorder	G
On a silken sheet with a purple woven border	G
Every cell of her brain is latent fire	G
Every fibre tense with restrained desire	G
And the straining oars sound clearer clearer	G
The boat is approaching nearer nearer	G
How to wait through the moments' space	H
Till I see the light of my lover's face	H
	-
Throb throb throb	A
The sound dies down the stream	I
Till it only clings at the senses' edge	J
Like a half remembered dream	I
Doubtless he in the silence lies	K
His fair face turned to the tender skies	K
Starlight touching his sleeping eyes	K
While his boat caught in the thickset sedge	J
And the waters round it gurgle and sob	A
Or floats set free on the river's tide	L
Oars laid aside	L
	-
She is awake and knows no rest	M
Passion dies and is dispossessed	M
Of his brief despotic power	G
But the Brain once kindled would still be afire	N
Were the whole world pasture to its desire	G
And all of love in a single hour	G
A single wine cup filled to the brim	O
Given to slake its thirst	P
	-
Some there are who are thus wise cursed	P
Times that follow fulfilled desire	G
Are of all their hours the worst	P
They find no Respite and reach no Rest	M
Though passion fail and desire grow dim	O
No assuagement comes from the thing possessed	M
For possession feeds the fire	G
	-
Oh for the life of the bright hued things	Q
Whose marriage and death are one	R
A floating fusion on golden wings	Q
Alit with passion and sun	R
	-
But we who re marry a thousand times	S
As the spirit or senses will	T
In a thousand ways in a thousand climes	S
We remain unsatisfied still	T
	-
As her lover left her alone awake she lies	K
With a sleepless brain and weary half closed eyes	K
She turns her face where the purple silk is spread	U
Still sweet with delicate perfume his presence shed	U
Her arms remembered his vanished beauty still	T
And reminiscent of clustered curls her fingers thrill	T
While the wonderful Starlit Night wears slowly on	V
Till the light of another day serene and wan	V
Pierces the eastern skies	K
