O MY lost beauty hast thou folded quite	A
Thy wings of morning light	A
Beyond those iron gates	B
Where Life crowds hurrying to the haggard Fates	B
And Age upon his mound of ashes waits	B
To chill our fiery dreams	C
Hot from the heart of youth plunged in his icy streams	C
	-
Leave me not fading in these weeds of care	D
Whose flowers are silvered hair	D
Have I not loved thee long	E
Though my young lips have often done thee wrong	E
And vexed thy heaven tuned ear with careless song	E
Ah wilt thou yet return	F
Bearing thy rose hued torch and bid thine altar burn	F
	-
Come to me I will flood thy silent shrine	G
With my soul's sacred wine	G
And heap thy marble floors	H
As the wild spice trees waste their fragrant stores	H
In leafy islands walled with madrepores	H
And lapped in Orient seas	H
When all their feathery palms toss plume like in the breeze	H
	-
Come to me thou shalt feed on honeyed words	H
Sweeter than song of birds	H
No wailing bulbul's throat	I
No melting dulcimer's melodious note	I
When o'er the midnight wave its murmurs float	I
Thy ravished sense might soothe	J
With flow so liquid soft with strain so velvet smooth	J
	-
Thou shalt be decked with jewels like a queen	K
Sought in those bowers of green	K
Where loop the clustered vines	H
And the close clinging dulcamara twines	H
Pure pearls of Maydew where the moonlight shines	H
And Summer's fruited gems	H
And coral pendants shorn from Autumn's berried stems	H
	-
Sit by me drifting on the sleepy waves	H
Or stretched by grass grown graves	H
Whose gray high shouldered stones	H
Carved with old names Life's time worn roll disowns	H
Lean lichen spotted o'er the crumbled bones	H
Still slumbering where they lay	L
While the sad Pilgrim watched to scare the wolf away	L
	-
Spread o'er my couch thy visionary wing	M
Still let me dream and sing	M
Dream of that winding shore	N
Where scarlet cardinals bloom for me no more	N
The stream with heaven beneath its liquid floor	N
And clustering nenuphars	H
Sprinkling its mirrored blue like golden chaliced stars	H
	-
Come while their balms the linden blossoms shed	O
Come while the rose is red	O
While blue eyed Summer smiles	H
On the green ripples round yon sunken piles	H
Washed by the moon wave warm from Indian isles	H
And on the sultry air	D
The chestnuts spread their palms like holy men in prayer	D
	-
Oh for thy burning lips to fire my brain	P
With thrills of wild sweet pain	P
On life's autumnal blast	Q
Like shrivelled leaves youth's passion flowers are cast	Q
Once loving thee we love thee to the last	Q
Behold thy new decked shrine	G
And hear once more the voice that breathed 'Forever thine '	-
