I mumbled on the hill at Aura how | B |
I told you it was made for Katie's sake | C |
When I was fresh from school and loving her | D |
With all the strength of girlhood And you said | E |
You liked my song although I didn't know | F |
How it began at first and gabbled then | G |
In a half voice because I was too shy | H |
To speak aloud much less to speak them out | I |
Words I had joined myself in the full voice | J |
And with the lilt of proper poetry | K |
You could have hardly heard me Here's the girl | L |
The little girl from school you never knew | M |
She made this song Read what you couldn't hear | N |
How bright the windows are | O |
When the dear sun shineth | P |
They strive to reflect the sun | Q |
To be bright like the sun | Q |
To give heat like the sun | Q |
My heart too has its chosen one | Q |
And so to shine designeth | P |
The windows on the opposite hill that day | R |
Shone bright at sunset too and made me think | S |
Of the old patter I had half forgot | T |
Do you remember I remind you now | B |
Who wandered yesterday for half an hour | D |
Into St Francis where I thought of you | M |
And how I would be glad to love you well | U |
If I but knew the way The rhyme came back | V |
Teasing me till I knew I hated it | W |
I couldn't take that way of loving you | M |
That was the girl's way Hear the woman now | B |
Out of my thinking in the lonely church | X |
And the day's labour in a friendly room | Y |
Tumbled a song this morning you will like | Z |
I love my love | A2 |
But I could not be | K |
Good for his sake | C |
That frightens me | K |
Nor could I do | M |
Such things as I should | B2 |
Just for the sake | C |
Of being good | B2 |
Deeds are too great | C2 |
To serve my whim | D2 |
Be ways of loving | E2 |
Myself or him | D2 |
Whether my deeds | F2 |
Are good or ill | G2 |
They're done for their own | H2 |
Not love's sake still | G2 |
I didn't know it till the song was done | Q |
But that's Ramiro in a nutshell eh | I2 |
With his contempt for individual souls | J2 |
And setting of the deed above the man | K2 |
Perhaps I like him better than I thought | L2 |
Or would like if he'd give me leave to scorn | M2 |
Chameleon adjectival good and ill | G2 |
And set the deed so far above the man | K2 |
As to be out of reach of morals too | M |
There you and I join issue once again | G |
