I sit in the cloud and the darkness	A
Where I lost you peerless one	B
Your bright face shines upon fairer lands	C
Like the dawning of the sun	B
And what to you is the rustic youth	D
You sometimes smiled upon	E
	-
You have roamed through mighty cities	F
By the Orient's gleaming sea	G
Down the glittering streets of Venice	A
And soft skied Araby	H
Life to you has been an anthem	I
But a solemn dirge to me	G
	-
For everywhere by Rome's bright hills	J
Or by the silvery Rhine	K
You win all hearts to you where'er	L
Your glancing tresses shine	K
But darling the love of the many	G
Is not a love like mine	K
	-
Last night I heard your voice in my dreams	M
I woke with a joyous thrill	N
To hear but the half awakened birds	O
For the dark dawn lingered still	N
And the lonesome sound of the waters	P
At the foot of Carey's hill	N
	-
Oh the pines are dark on Carey's hill	N
And the waters are black below	Q
But they shone like waves of jasper	L
Upon one day I know	Q
The day I bore you out of the stream	R
With your face as white as snow	Q
	-
You lay like a little lamb in my arms	S
So frail a thing so weak	T
And my coward lips said burning words	O
They never had dared to speak	T
If they had not felt the chill of your brow	U
And the marble of your cheek	T
	-
Life had been but a bitter gift	V
That I fain would have thrown away	W
But I could have thanked my God on my knees	F
For giving me life that day	W
As I took you lying so helpless	A
From the gates of death away	W
	-
How your noble kinsmen laughed and wept	X
O'er their treasure snatched from the flood	Y
And your white faced brother brought me gold	Z
You loved him or I could	A2
Have obeyed the fiend that told me	G
To curse him where he stood	A2
	-
Gold Oh darling they had no need	B2
Such insults to repeat	C2
I knew the Heaven was above the earth	D2
I knew I knew my sweet	C2
I was not worthy to touch the shoes	E2
That covered your dainty feet	C2
	-
I knew as you laid your hand in mine	K
So kind as I turned away	W
That we were severed as wide apart	F2
That hour as we are to day	W
And you in your stately English home	G2
So far so far away	W
	-
That soft white hand you laid in mine	K
With a smile as I turned to go	Q
Oh Lady Maud I marvel	H2
If you ever stoop so low	Q
As to wonder what those tears meant	I2
That glittered on its snow	Q
	-
But I know if you had dreamed the truth	D
Your beautiful dark brown eyes	J2
Would only have grown more gentle	H2
With a sorrowful surprise	J2
For a nobler and a kinder heart	F2
Ne'er beat beneath the skies	J2
	-
You never meant to give me pain	K2
But oh 'twas a cruel good	A2
I so low in the world's esteem	R
You of such noble blood	Y
That you stooped to as gentle words and deeds	L2
As ever an angel could	A2
	-
I blessed you for your brightness	A
When you came unto our shore	M2
For the dull earth caught a beauty	G
It never had before	M2
But you left a lonesome shadow	Q
That will lie there evermore	M2
	-
How proud the good ship bore you	N2
Adown the golden bay	W
The sun's last light upon its sails	O2
I stood there mournfully	H2
For I know it left the darkness	A
Took the sunlight all away	W
