Young love all rainbows in the laneA
Brushed by the honeysuckle vinesB
Scattered the wild rose in a dreamC
A sweeter thing his arm entwinesB
-
Ah redder lips than any roseB
Ah sweeter breath than any beeD
Sucks from the heart of any flowerE
Ah bosom like the Summer seaD
-
A fairy creature made of dewF
And moonrise and the songs of birdsB
And laughter like the running brookG
And little soft heart broken wordsB
-
Haunted as marble in the moonH
Her whiteness lies on young love's breastI
And living frankincense and myrrhE
Her lips that on his lips are pressedI
-
Her eyes are lost within his eyesB
His eyes in hers are fathoms deepJ
Death is not stiller than these twainA
That smile as in a magic sleepJ
-
I heard him say as they went byK
Two human flowers in the dewF
Darling ah God if you should dieK
You know that moment I die tooF
-
I heard her say I could not liveL
An hour without you heard her sayB
My life is in your hands to keepJ
To keep or just to throw awayB
-
I heard him say For just us twoF
The world was made the stars aboveM
Move in their orbits to this endN
That you and I should meet and loveM
-
I heard her say And God himselfO
Has us in keeping heart to heartP
In his great book our names are writQ
The Book of Those that Never PartP
-
How strange it is I heard him sayB
How strange and yet again How strangeR
To meet at last and know this loveM
Of ours can never fade or changeR
-
How strange to think that you are mineS
Each little hair of your dear headT
And no one else's in the worldU
How strange it is the woman saidT
-
-
I stand aside to let them passB
My Autumn face they never seeD
Their eyes are on the rising sunV
But 'tis the setting sun for meD
-
For me no wild rose in the laneA
But only sad autumnal flowersB
And falling shadows and old sighsB
And melancholy drift of hoursB
