What were sweet life without her	A
Who maketh all things sweet	B
With smiles that dream about her	A
With dreams that come and fleet	B
Soft moods that end in languor	A
Soft words that end in sighs	C
Curved frownings as of anger	A
Cold silence of her eyes	C
	-
Sweet eyes born but for slaying	D
Deep violet dark and lost	E
In dreams of whilom Maying	D
In climes unstung of frost	E
Wild eyes shot through with fire	A
God's light in godless years	F
Brimmed wine dark with desire	A
A birth for dreams and tears	G
	-
Dear tears as sweet as laughter	A
Low laughter sweet as love	H
Unwound in ripples after	A
Sad tears we knew not of	H
What if the day be lawless	I
What if the heart be dead	J
Such tears would make it flawless	I
Such laughter make it red	J
	-
Lips that were curled for kisses	K
For loves and hates and scorns	L
Brows under gold of tresses	M
Brows beauteous as the Morn's	M
Imperial locks and tangled	N
Down to the graceful hips	M
Hair where one might be strangled	N
Carousing on thy lips	M
	-
Rose lovely lips that hover	A
About the honeyed words	M
That slip wild bees from clover	A
Whose sweets their sweet affords	M
Though days be robbed of sunlight	O
White teeth make light thereof	H
Though nights unknown of onelight	O
Thine eyes were stars enough	P
	-
Ah lily lovely features	M
Round temples throat and chin	Q
Sweet gods of godless natures	M
Sweet love of loveless men	R
Still moods and slumberous fanned on	S
To dreams that rock to sleep	T
Unmerciful abandon	U
That haunts or makes one weep	T
	-
She walks as if with sorrows	M
And all unknown of joy	V
Eyes fixed on dim to morrows	M
That all sad feet decoy	V
Yet she a peer of pleasures	M
Tears from Time's taloned hand	O
The hour glass he treasures	M
And wastes its sullen sand	O
	-
Makes of all hours a beaker	A
Brimmed full of lordly wine	W
Cold gold of Life's mad liquor	A
And quaffs to me and mine	W
The love on lips grows fairer	A
Keen lights in eyes make wars	M
And throat and breast grow rarer	A
Than the white throated stars	M
	-
Fleet smiles come fleet and faster	A
And web the willing soul	X
Warm breasts of alabaster	A
Have snared it as a whole	X
What then were hell or heaven	U
The fear of heaven or hell	Y
Lost in the life thus given	U
We well might bid farewell	Y
	-
To leap against thy bosoms	M
Live at thy ardent throat	O
Kiss clinging to its blossoms	M
Die kissing and not know't	O
Wound in tumultuous tresses	M
Pulse like a naked hair	A
Held in long hands for kisses	M
And killed and never care	A
	-
Clasped limb and marble member	A
Long raven hair with gold	O
To dream forget remember	A
Grow slowly still and cold	O
Feel earth and hell forever	A
Remote from thee and me	O
Nor strong enough to sever	A
Through all eternity	O
	-
Feel godlike power for evil	Z
High throned within the heart	O
Should God and hell's arch devil	Z
Cast dice our souls to part	O
Part eyes hot as a jewel	Z
Part covering deeps of curl	A2
Sweet lips as sweet as cruel	Z
And limbs of living pearl	A2
	-
What if in the hereafter	A
Our love must weep farewell	Y
'Mid the hoarse strident laughter	A
Of devils deep in hell	Y
We'll know that all infernal	Z
All cactus growth of time	B2
Slays not that hour eternal	Z
That sinned with love to crime	B2
	-
Love we could live all tearless	M
Remember and have breath	C2
Of hell and heaven fearless	M
In love more strong than death	C2
When hope shall be forgotten	U
And death be one with both	D2
Flesh soul and spirit rotten	U
And wrapped with clay in sloth	D2
	-
Take comfort love remember	A
Love chastened with his rod	O
And member torn from member	A
Would leave him still a god	O
Though soul from soul be riven	U
God knows we shall regret	O
In hell or highest heaven	U
We never can forget	O
