The sun is banishedA
The daylight vanishedA
No rosy tracesB
Are left behindC
Here in the meadowD
I watch the shadowD
Of forms and facesB
Upon your blindC
-
Through swift transitionsE
In new positionsE
My eyes still followD
One shape most fairF
My heart delayingG
Awhile is playingG
With pleasures hollowD
Which mock despairF
-
I feel so lonelyH
I long once onlyH
To pass an hourI
With you O sweetJ
To touch your fingersK
Where fragrance lingersK
From some rare flowerI
And kiss your feetJ
-
But not this evenL
To me is givenM
Of all sad mortalsN
Most sad am IO
Never to meet youP
Never to greet youP
Nor pass your portalsN
Before I dieO
-
All men scorn meH
Not one will mourn meH
When from their cityH
I pass awayQ
Will you to morrowD
Recall with sorrowD
Him whom with pityH
You saw to dayQ
-
Outcast and lonelyH
One thing onlyH
Beyond misgivingG
I hold for trueP
That had you known meH
You would have shown meH
A life worth livingG
A life for youP
-
Yes five years youngerI
My manhood's hungerI
Had you come fillingG
With plenty sweetJ
My life so nourishedA
Had grown and flourishedA
Had God been willingG
That we should meetJ
-
How vain to fashionM
From dreams and passionM
The rich existenceR
Which might have beenL
Can God's own powerI
Recall the hourI
Or bridge the distanceR
That lies betweenS
-
Before the morningG
From pain and scorningG
I sail death's riverI
To sleep or hellT
To you is givenM
The life of heavenM
Farewell for everI
Farewell farewellT
