I said Then dearest since 'tis so	A
Since now at length my fate I know	A
Since nothing all my love avails	A
Since all my life seem'd meant for fails	A
Since this was written and needs must be	B
My whole heart rises up to bless	A
Your name in pride and thankfulness	A
Take back the hope you gave I claim	C
Only a memory of the same	C
And this beside if you will not blame	C
Your leave for one more last ride with me	B
	-
My mistress bent that brow of hers	A
Those deep dark eyes where pride demurs	A
When pity would be softening through	D
Fix'd me a breathing while or two	D
With life or death in the balance right	E
The blood replenish'd me again	F
My last thought was at least not vain	G
I and my mistress side by side	H
Shall be together breathe and ride	H
So one day more am I deified	H
Who knows but the world may end to night	E
	-
Hush if you saw some western cloud	I
All billowy bosom'd over bow'd	I
By many benedictions sun's	A
And moon's and evening star's at once	A
And so you looking and loving best	J
Conscious grew your passion drew	D
Cloud sunset moonrise star shine too	D
Down on you near and yet more near	K
Till flesh must fade for heaven was here	L
Thus leant she and linger'd joy and fear	K
Thus lay she a moment on my breast	J
	-
Then we began to ride My soul	M
Smooth'd itself out a long cramp'd scroll	M
Freshening and fluttering in the wind	N
Past hopes already lay behind	N
What need to strive with a life awry	O
Had I said that had I done this	A
So might I gain so might I miss	A
Might she have loved me just as well	P
She might have hated who can tell	P
Where had I been now if the worst befell	P
And here we are riding she and I	O
	-
Fail I alone in words and deeds	A
Why all men strive and who succeeds	A
We rode it seem'd my spirit flew	D
Saw other regions cities new	D
As the world rush'd by on either side	H
I thought All labour yet no less	A
Bear up beneath their unsuccess	A
Look at the end of work contrast	Q
The petty done the undone vast	Q
This present of theirs with the hopeful past	Q
I hoped she would love me here we ride	H
	-
What hand and brain went ever pair'd	R
What heart alike conceived and dared	R
What act proved all its thought had been	S
What will but felt the fleshly screen	T
We ride and I see her bosom heave	U
There 's many a crown for who can reach	V
Ten lines a statesman's life in each	V
The flag stuck on a heap of bones	A
A soldier's doing what atones	A
They scratch his name on the Abbey stones	A
My riding is better by their leave	U
	-
What does it all mean poet Well	P
Your brains beat into rhythm you tell	P
What we felt only you express'd	J
You hold things beautiful the best	J
And pace them in rhyme so side by side	H
'Tis something nay 'tis much but then	F
Have you yourself what 's best for men	F
Are you poor sick old ere your time	W
Nearer one whit your own sublime	W
Than we who never have turn'd a rhyme	W
Sing riding 's a joy For me I ride	H
	-
And you great sculptor so you gave	X
A score of years to Art her slave	X
And that 's your Venus whence we turn	Y
To yonder girl that fords the burn	Y
You acquiesce and shall I repine	Y
What man of music you grown gray	Z
With notes and nothing else to say	Z
Is this your sole praise from a friend	A2
'Greatly his opera's strains intend	A2
But in music we know how fashions end '	-
I gave my youth but we ride in fine	Y
	-
Who knows what 's fit for us Had fate	B2
Proposed bliss here should sublimate	B2
My being had I sign'd the bond	B2
Still one must lead some life beyond	B2
Have a bliss to die with dim descried	B2
This foot once planted on the goal	M
This glory garland round my soul	M
Could I descry such Try and test	B2
I sink back shuddering from the quest	B2
Earth being so good would heaven seem best	B2
Now heaven and she are beyond this ride	B2
	-
And yet she has not spoke so long	C2
What if heaven be that fair and strong	C2
At life's best with our eyes upturn'd	B2
Whither life's flower is first discern'd	B2
We fix'd so ever should so abide	B2
What if we still ride on we two	D
With life for ever old yet new	D
Changed not in kind but in degree	B
The instant made eternity	B
And heaven just prove that I and she	B
Ride ride together for ever ride	B2
