The flight of summer swallows | B |
Far over holts and hollows | B |
O'er frozen buds and flowers | C |
To violet seas and levels | D |
Where Love Time's locks dishevels | D |
With merry mimes and revels | D |
Of aphrodisiac Hours | D |

O Love who dreaming borrows | D |
Dead love from sad to morrows | D |
The broken heart that sorrows | D |
The blighted hopes that weep | E |
Pale faces pale with sleeping | F |
Red eyelids red with weeping | F |
Dead lips dead secrets keeping | F |
That shake the deeps of sleep | E |

O Memory that showers | D |
About the withered hours | D |
White ruined sodden flowers | D |
Dead dust and bitter rain | G |

Dead heart ache and the pain | G |

O give us back the blisses | D |
Lost madness of moist kisses | D |
The youth the joy the tresses | D |

Instead of tears wild laughter | K |

The life that whines and borrows | D |
But memories of the grave | - |

- | |
The grave that breaks no netting | F |
Of care or spint's fretting | F |
No long long sweet forgetting | F |
For those who would forget | L |
And those who stammer by it | M |
Hope of an endless quiet | N |
Within them voiceless riot | N |
When they and it have met | L |

And God we pray beseeching | F |
But Life with finger reaching | F |
Stone stern remaineth teaching | F |
Our hearts to turn to stone | O |
Then fain are we to follow | P |
The last lorn soaring swallow | P |
Past bourns of holt and hollow | P |
Forevermore alone | O |
