Yea there are some who always seek	A
The love that lasts an hour	B
And some who in love's language speak	A
Yet never know his power	B
	-
Of such was I who knew not what	C
Sweet mysteries may rise	D
Within the heart when 't is its lot	E
To love and realize	D
	-
Of such was I ah me till lo	F
Your face on mine did gleam	G
And changed that world I used to know	F
Into an evil dream	G
	-
That world wherein on hill and plain	H
Great blood red poppies bloomed	I
Their hot hearts thirsty for the rain	H
And sleepily perfumed	I
	-
Above below on every part	J
A crimson shadow lay	K
As if the red sun streamed athwart	L
And sunset was alway	M
	-
I know not how I know not when	N
I only know that there	O
She met me in the haunted glen	N
A poppy in her hair	O
	-
Her face seemed fair as Mary's is	P
That knows no sin or wrong	Q
Her presence filled the silences	P
As music fills a song	Q
	-
And she was clad like the Mother of God	R
As 't were for Christ's sweet sake	S
But when she moved and where she trod	R
A hiss went of a snake	S
	-
Though seeming sinless till I die	T
I shall not know for sure	U
Why to my soul she seemed a lie	T
And otherwise than pure	U
	-
Nor why I kissed her soon and late	V
And for her felt desire	B
While loathing of her passion ate	V
Into my soul like fire	B
	-
Was it because my soul could tell	W
That like the poppy flower	B
She had no soul a thing of Hell	W
That o'er it had no power	B
	-
Or was it that your love at last	X
My soul so long had craved	Y
From the sweet sin that held me fast	X
At that last moment saved	Y
