O heart that vainly followsB
The flight of summer swallowsB
Far over holts and hollowsB
O'er frozen buds and flowersC
To violet seas and levelsD
Where Love Time's locks dishevelsD
With merry mimes and revelsD
Of aphrodisiac HoursD

O Love who dreaming borrowsD
Dead love from sad to morrowsD
The broken heart that sorrowsD
The blighted hopes that weepE
Pale faces pale with sleepingF
Red eyelids red with weepingF
Dead lips dead secrets keepingF
That shake the deeps of sleepE

-
O Memory that showersD
About the withered hoursD
White ruined sodden flowersD
Dead dust and bitter rainG
Dead loves with faces tearyH
Dead passions wan and drearyH
The weary weary wearyH
Dead heart ache and the painG

O give us back the blissesD
Lost madness of moist kissesD
The youth the joy the tressesD
The fragrant limbs of whiteI
The high heart like a jewelJ
Alive with subtle fuelJ
Lips beautiful and cruelJ
Eyes' incarnated lightI

V-
-
Instead of tears wild laughterK
The old hot passions afterK
The houri sweets that dafterK
Made flesh and soul a slave-
Enough of tearful sorrowsD
Enough of rank to morrowsD
The life that whines and borrowsD
But memories of the grave-
-
-
VI-
-
The grave that breaks no nettingF
Of care or spint's frettingF
No long long sweet forgettingF
For those who would forgetL
And those who stammer by itM
Hope of an endless quietN
Within them voiceless riotN
When they and it have metL
-
-
VII-
-
And God we pray beseechingF
But Life with finger reachingF
Stone stern remaineth teachingF
Our hearts to turn to stoneO
Then fain are we to followP
The last lorn soaring swallowP
Past bourns of holt and hollowP
Forevermore aloneO
