The book was dull its pictures	A
As leaden as its lore	B
But one glad happy picture	C
Made up for all and more	B
'Twas that of you sweet peasant	D
Beside your grannie's door	B
I never stopped so startled	E
Inside a book before	B
	-
Just so had I sat spell bound	F
Quite still with staring eyes	G
If some great shiny hoopoe	H
Or moth of song bird size	G
Had drifted to my window	I
And trailed its fineries	G
Just so had I been startled	E
Spelled with the same surprise	G
	-
It pictured you when springtime	J
In part had given place	G
But not surrendered wholly	K
To summer in your face	G
When still your slender body	K
Was all a childish grace	G
Though woman's richest glories	G
Were building there apace	G
	-
'Twas blissful so to see you	H
Yet not without a sigh	L
I dwelt upon the people	M
Who saw you not as I	L
But in your living sweetness	G
Beneath your native sky	L
Ah bliss to be the people	M
When you went tripping by	L
	-
I sat there thinking wondering	N
Abut your life and home	O
The happy days behind you	H
The happy days to come	P
Your grannie in her corner	C
Upstairs the little room	Q
Where you wake up each morning	N
To dream all day of Whom	Q
	-
That ring upon your finger	C
Who gave you that to wear	R
What blushing smith or farm lad	S
Came stammering at your ear	T
A million time told story	K
No maid but burns to hear	T
And went about his labours	G
Delighting in his dear	U
	-
I thought of you sweet lovers	G
The things you say and do	H
The pouts and tears and partings	G
And swearings to be true	H
The kissings in the barley	K
You brazens both of you	H
I nearly burst out crying	N
With thinking of you two	H
	-
It put me in a frenzy	K
Of pleasure nearly pain	V
A host of blurry faces	G
'Gan shaping in my brain	V
I shut my eyes to see them	W
Come forward clear and plain	V
I saw them come full flower	C
And blur and fade again	X
	-
One moment so I saw them	W
One sovereign moment so	G
A host of girlish faces	G
All happy and aglow	G
With Life and Love it dealt them	W
Before it laid them low	G
A hundred years a thousand	Y
Ten thousand years ago	G
	-
One moment so I saw them	W
Come back with time full tide	Z
The host of girls your grannies	G
Who lived and loved and died	Z
To give your mouth its beauty	K
Your soul its gentle pride	Z
Who wrestled with the ages	G
To give the world a bride	Z
