I am here at your door outside | B |
The sea's blue tide flows speedily | C |
And ebbs a thin red tide ' | D |
The woman rose from her warm white bed | E |
Threw back her hair and smiled | F |
The ears of scorn heard the words of love | G |
And the wind and the words were wild | F |
'Wake Awake Awake | H |
And hearken the woe outside | B |
The moon is hid in cloudiness | I |
Calleth and calleth the tide ' | D |
The woman stood in the silence still | J |
As a thing men carve from stone | K |
Her eyes burned largely in the dark | L |
And the smile like a stain stayed on | M |
'Listen Listen Listen | A |
Hear you the rain to night | N |
A warm dark rain is falling too | O |
And I grow ghostly white ' | D |
The woman took three steps and bowed | P |
The smile waned from her lip | Q |
She heard the dripping of the rain | R |
And a soft thick other drip | Q |
'Open Open Open | A |
I die in the dark alone | K |
My voice goes up in weariness | S |
Against your heart of stone ' | D |
The moon to a cloud cleft stealing | T |
Gazed down on the yearning tide | B |
The woman opened the streaming door | U |
And stood in the rain outside | B |
Silence Stillness She whispers | V |
'Ah Love that death should be ' | D |
He sighed 'Your lips are loveliness ' | D |
And she sobbed 'Woe is me ' | D |
The woman pressed his dead white face | W |
With her face as deadly white | N |
The moon drew in behind a cloud | P |
And the tide moaned through the night | N |
