PEACH trees and Judas treesA
Poppies and rosesB
Purple anemonesB
In garden closesB
Lost in the limpid skyC
Shrills a gay lark on highC
Lost in the covert's hushD
Gurgles a wooing thrushD
-
Look where the ivy weavesB
Closely embracingE
Tendrils of clinging leavesB
Round him enlacingE
With Nature's sacrednessB
Clothing the nakednessB
Clothing the marble ofF
This poor dismembered loveF
-
Gone are the hands whose skillG
Aimed the light arrowH
Strong once to cure or killG
Pierce to the marrowH
Gone are the lips whose kissB
Held hives of honeyed blissB
Gone too the little feetI
Overfond overfleetI
-
O helpless god of oldI
Maimed mid the tenderJ
Blossoming white and goldI
Of April splendourJ
Shall we not make thy graveK
Where the long grasses waveK
Hide thee O headless godI
Deep in the daisied sodI
-
Here thou mayst rest at lastI
After life's feverJ
After love's fret is pastI
Rest thee for everJ
Nay broken God of LoveF
Still must thou bide aboveF
While left for woe or wealG
Thou has a heart to feelG
