Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBBD EFEFGHIJJG KLBK MNOM OPQQP BRRSTTS TUUVV WCWOOThine emulous fond flowers are dead too | A |
And the daft sun assaulter he | B |
That frightened thee so oft is fled or dead | C |
Save only me | B |
Nor is it sad to thee | B |
Save only me | B |
There is none left to mourn thee in the fields | D |
- | |
The gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow | E |
Its two banks have not shut upon the river | F |
But it is long ago | E |
It seems forever | F |
Since first I saw thee glance | G |
With all thy dazzling other ones | H |
In airy dalliance | I |
Precipitate in love | J |
Tossed tangled whirled and whirled above | J |
Like a linp rose wreath in a fairy dance | G |
- | |
When that was the soft mist | K |
Of my regret hung not on all the land | L |
And I was glad for thee | B |
And glad for me I wist | K |
- | |
Thou didst not know who tottered wandering on high | M |
That fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind | N |
With those great careless wings | O |
Nor yet did I | M |
- | |
And there were othe rthings | O |
It seemed God let thee flutter from his gentle clasp | P |
Then fearful he had let thee win | Q |
Too far beyond him to be gathered in | Q |
Snatched thee o'ereager with ungentle gasp | P |
- | |
Ah I remember me | B |
How once conspiracy was rife | R |
Against my life | R |
The languor of it and the dreaming fond | S |
Surging the grasses dizzied me of thought | T |
The breeze three odors brought | T |
And a gem flower waved in a wand | S |
- | |
Then when I was distraught | T |
And could not speak | U |
Sidelong full on my cheek | U |
What should that reckless zephyr fling | V |
But the wild touch of thy dye dusty wing | V |
- | |
I found that wing broken today | W |
For thou art dead I said | C |
And the strang birds say | W |
I found it with the withered leaves | O |
Under the eaves | O |
