Nay more than violetsA
These thoughts of thine friendB
Rather thy reedy brookC
Taw's tributaryD
At midnight murmuringE
Descried them the delicateF
Dark eyed goddessesG
There by his cressy bedH
Dissolved and dreamingE
Dreams that distilled into dewI
All the purple of nightJ
All the shine of a planetF
-
Whereat he whisperedK
And they arisingE
-
Of day's forget me notsL
The duskier sistersM
Descended relinquishedN
The orchard the trout poolO
Torridge and TamarD
The Druid circlesP
Sheepfolds of DartmoorD
Granite and sandstoneQ
By Roughtor DozmareD
Down the vale of the FoweyR
Moving in silenceS
Brushing the nightshadeT
By bridges cyclopeanU
By Trevenna TreverbynU
Lawharne and LarginU
By Glynn LanhydrockE
Restormel LostwithielO
Dark wood dim water dreaming townU
Down the vale of the FoweyR
To the tidal waterD
Washing the feetV
Of fair St WinnowU
Each in her exileO
Musing the messageW
Passed as the starlitX
Shadow of Ruth from the land of the MoabiteX
-
So they cameY
Valley born valley nurturedX
Came to the tidewayR
The jetties the anchorageW
The salt wind pipingE
Snoring in EquinoxZ
By ships at anchorD
By quays tormentedX
Storm bitten streetsA2
Came to the HavenU
Crying 'Ah shelter usB2
The strayed ambassadorsM
Love's lost legationU
On a comfortless coast '-
-
Nay but a little sleepC2
A little foldingE
Of petals to the lullO
Of quiet rainfallsD2
Here in my gardenU
In angle shelteredX
From north and east windX
Softly shall recreateX
The courage of charityX
Henceforth not to me onlyX
Breathing the messageW
-
Clean breath'd SirensE2
Hencefore the marinerD
