I	A
	-
My love this is the bitterest that thou	B
Who art all truth and who dost love me now	B
As thine eyes say as thy voice breaks to say	C
Shouldst love so truly and couldst love me still	D
A whole long life through had but love its will	D
Would death that leads me from thee brook delay	C
	-
II	A
	-
I have but to be by thee and thy hand	E
Would never let mine go thy heart withstand	E
The beating of my heart to reach its place	F
When should I look for thee and feel thee gone	G
When cry for the old comfort and find none	H
Never I know Thy soul is in thy face	F
	-
III	A
	-
Oh I should fade 'tis willed so might I save	I
Galdly I would whatever beauty gave	I
Joy to thy sense for that was precious too	J
It is not to be granted But the soul	K
Whence the love comes all ravage leaves that whole	K
Vainly the flesh fades soul makes all things new	J
	-
IV	I
	-
And 'twould not be because my eye grew dim	L
Thou couldst not find the love there thanks to Him	L
Who never is dishonoured in the spark	M
He gave us from his fire of fires and bade	N
Remember whence it sprang nor be afraid	N
While that burns on though all the rest grow dark	M
	-
V	I
	-
So how thou wouldst be perfect white and clean	O
Outside as inside soul and soul's demesne	O
Alike this body given to show it by	A
Oh three parts through the worst of life's abyss	P
What plaudits from the next world after this	P
Couldst thou repeat a stroke and gain the sky	A
	-
VI	A
	-
And is it not the bitterer to think	Q
That disengage our hands and thou wilt sink	Q
Although thy love was love in very deed	R
I know that nature Pass a festive day	C
Thou dost not throw its relic flower away	C
Nor bid its music's loitering echo speed	R
	-
VII	A
	-
Thou let'st the stranger's glove lie where it fell	S
If old things remain old things all is well	S
For thou art grateful as becomes man best	T
And hadst thou only heard me play one tune	O
Or viewed me from a window not so soon	O
With thee would such things fade as with the rest	T
	-
VIII	A
	-
I seem to see we meet and part 'tis brief	A
The book I opened keeps a folded leaf	A
The very chair I sat on breaks the rank	U
That is a portrait of me on the wall	V
Three lines my face comes at so slight a call	V
And for all this one little hour's to thank	U
	-
IX	P
	-
But now because the hour through years was fixed	W
Because our inmost beings met amd mixed	W
Because thou once hast loved me wilt thou dare	X
Say to thy soul and Who may list beside	Y
Therefore she is immortally my bride	Y
Chance cannot change that love nor time impair	X
	-
X	P
	-
So what if in the dusk of life that's left	Z
I a tired traveller of my sun bereft	Z
Look from my path when mimicking the same	A2
The fire fly glimpses past me come and gone	O
Where was it till the sunset where anon	O
It will be at the sunrise what's to blame	A2
	-
XI	P
	-
Is it so helpful to thee canst thou take	B2
The mimic up nor for the true thing's sake	B2
Put gently by such efforts at at beam	C2
Is the remainder of the way so long	D2
Thou need'st the little solace thou the strong	D2
Watch out thy watch let weak ones doze and dream	C2
	-
XII	P
	-
Ah but the fresher faces Is it true	J
Thou'lt ask some eyes are beautiful and new	J
Some hair how can one choose but grasp such wealth	E2
And if a man would press his lips to lips	P
Fresh as the wilding hedge rose cup there slips	P
The dew drop out of must it be by stealth	E2
	-
XIII	P
	-
It cannot change the love kept still for Her	F2
Much more than such a picture to prefer	F2
Passing a day with to a room's bare side	Y
The painted form takes nothing she possessed	T
Yet while the Titian's Venus lies at rest	T
A man looks Once more what is there to chide	Y
	-
XIV	A
	-
So must I see from where I sit and watch	G2
My own self sell myself my hand attach	H2
Its warrant to the very thefts from me	P
Thy singleness of soul that made me proud	I2
Thy purity of heart I loved aloud	I2
Thy man's truth I was bold to bid God see	P
	-
XV	A
	-
Love so then if thou wilt Give all thou canst	I2
Away to the new faces disentranced	I2
Say it and think it obdurate no more	J2
Re issue looks and words from the old mint	I2
Pass them afresh no matter whose the print	I2
Image and superscription once they bore	J2
	-
XVI	A
	-
Re coin thyself and give it them to spend	I2
It all comes to the same thing at the end	I2
Since mine thou wast mine art and mine shalt be	P
Faithful or faithless sealing up the sum	K2
Or lavish of my treasure thou must come	K2
Back to the heart's place here I keep for thee	P
	-
XVII	A
	-
Only why should it be with stain at all	V
Why must I 'twixt the leaves of coronal	V
Put any kiss of pardon on thy brow	B
Why need the other women know so much	L2
And talk together Such the look and such	L2
The smile he used to love with then as now	B
	-
XVIII	A
	-
Might I die last and shew thee Should I find	I2
Such hardship in the few years left behind	I2
If free to take and light my lamp and go	M2
Into thy tomb and shut the door and sit	I2
Seeing thy face on those four sides of it	I2
The better that they are so blank I know	M2
	-
XIX	P
	-
Why time was what I wanted to turn o'er	F2
Within my mind each look get more and more	J2
By heart each word too much to learn at first	I2
And join thee all the fitter for the pause	P
'Neath the low door way's lintel That were cause	P
For lingering though thou called'st If I durst	I2
	-
XX	P
	-
And yet thou art the nobler of us two	J
What dare I dream of that thou canst not do	J
Outstripping my ten small steps with one stride	I2
I'll say then here's a trial and a task	N2
Is it to bear if easy I'll not ask	N2
Though love fail I can trust on in thy pride	I2
	-
XXI	P
	-
Pride when those eyes forestall the life behind	I2
The death I have to go through when I find	I2
Now that I want thy help most all of thee	P
What did I fear Thy love shall hold me fast	I2
Until the little minute's sleep is past	I2
And I wake saved And yet it will not be	P
