What alters you familiar lawn and tower	A
Arched alley and garden green to the gray wall	B
With crumbling crevice and the old wine red flower	A
Solitary in summer sun for all	B
	-
Is like a dream I tread on dreams No stir	A
Of footsteps voices laughter Even the chime	C
Of many memoried bells is lonelier	A
In this neglected ghostliness of Time	C
	-
What stealing touch of separation numb	D
Absents you Yet my heart springs up to adore	A
The shrining of your soul that is become	D
Nearer and oh far dearer than before	A
	-
It is as if I looked on the still face	E
Of a Mother musing where she sits alone	F
She is with her sons she is not in this place	E
She is gone out into far lands unknown	F
	-
Because that filled horizon occupies	G
Her heart with mute prayer and divining fear	A
Therefore her hands so calm lie and her eyes	G
See nothing and men wonder at her here	A
	-
But far in France on the torn Flanders plain	H
By Sinai in the Macedonian snows	I
The fly plagued sands of Tigris heat and rain	H
On wandering water where the black squall blows	I
	-
Less danger than the bright wave ambushes	J
She bears it out All the long day she bears	K
And the sudden hour of instant challenges	J
To act that searches all men no man spares	K
	-
She is with her sons leaving a virtue gone	L
Out of her sacred places what she bred	M
Lives other life than this that sits alone	F
Though still in dream starrily visited	N
	-
For O in youth she lives not in her age	O
Her soul is with the springtime and the young	P
And she absents her from the learned page	O
Studious of high histories yet unsung	P
	-
More passionately prized than wisdom's book	Q
Because her own Her faith is in those eyes	G
That clear into the gape of hell can look	Q
Putting to proof ancient philosophies	R
	-
Such as the virgin Muses would rehearse	S
Beside the silvery swallow haunted stream	T
Under the gray towers But immortal verse	S
Is now exchanged for its immortal theme	T
	-
Victory proud loss and the enduring mind	U
Youth that has passed all praises and has won	V
More than renown being that which faith divined	U
Reality more radiant than the sun	V
	-
She gave she gives more than all anchored days	W
Of dedicated lore of storied art	U
And she resigns her beauty to men's gaze	W
To mask the riches of her bleeding heart	U
