Pale faces looked up at me up from the earth like flowers	A
Pale hands reached down to me out of the air like stars	B
As over the hills robed on with the twilight the Hours	A
The Day's last Hours departed and Dusk put up her bars	B
	-
Pale fingers beckoned me on pale fingers like starlit mist	C
Dim voices called to me dim as the wind's dim rune	D
As up from the night like a nymph from the amethyst	C
Of her waters as silver as foam rose the round white breast of the moon	D
	-
And I followed the pearly waving and beckon of hands	E
The luring glitter and dancing glimmer of feet	F
And the sibilant whisper of silence that summoned to lands	E
Remoter than legend or faery where Myth and Tradition meet	F
	-
And I came to a place where the shadow of ancient Night	G
Brooded o'er ruins far wilder than castles of dreams	H
Fantastic a mansion of phantoms where wandering white	G
I met with a shadowy presence whose voice I had followed it seems	H
	-
And the ivy waved in the wind and the moonlight laid	I
Like a ghostly benediction a finger wan	J
On the face of the one from whose eyes the darkness rayed	I
The face of the one I had known in the years long gone	K
	-
And she looked in my face and kissed me on brow and on cheek	L
Murmured my name and wistfully smiled in my eyes	M
And the tears welled up in my heart that was wild and weak	L
And my bosom seemed bursting with yearning and my soul with sighs	M
	-
And there 'mid the ruins we sat Oh strange were the words that she said	N
Distant and dim and strange and hollow the looks that she gave	O
And I knew her then for a joy a joy that was dead	N
A hope a beautiful hope that my youth had laid in its grave	O
