IA
-
A woman fair to look uponB
Where waters whiten with the moonC
While down the glimmer of the lawnD
The white moths swoonC
-
A mouth of music eyes of loveE
And hands of blended snow and scentF
That touch the pearl pale shadow ofE
An instrumentG
-
And low and sweet that song of sleepH
After the song of love is hushedI
While all the longing here to weepH
Is held and crushedI
-
Then leafy silence that is muskJ
With breath of the magnolia treeK
While dwindles moon white through the duskJ
Her draperyK
-
Let me remember how a heartL
Romantic wrote upon that nightM
My soul still helps me read each partL
Of it arightL
-
And like a dead leaf shut betweenN
A book's dull chapters stained and darkO
That page with immemorial greenN
Of life I markO
-
-
IIA
-
It is not well for me to hearP
That song's appealing melodyL
The pain of loss comes all too nearQ
Through it to meL
-
The loss of her whose love looks throughR
The mist death's hand hath hung betweenN
Within the shadow of the yewR
Her grave is greenN
-
Ah dream that vanished long agoS
Oh anguish of remembered tearsT
And shadow of unlifted woeS
Athwart the yearsU
-
That haunt the sad rooms of my daysV
As keepsakes of unperished loveE
Where pale the memory of her faceW
Is framed aboveE
-
This olden song she used to singX
Of love and sleep is now a charmY
To open mystic doors and bringX
Her spirit formZ
-
In music making visibleA2
One soul assertive memoryL
That steals unto my side to tellB2
My loss to meL
