If days should pass without a written word	A
To tell me of thy welfare and if days	B
Should lengthen out to weeks until the maze	B
Of questioning fears confused me and I heard	A
Life sounds as echoes and one came and said	C
After these weeks of waiting He is dead	C
	-
Though the quick sword had found the vital part	D
And the life blood must mingle with the tears	E
I think that as the dying soldier hears	F
The cries of victory and feels his heart	D
Surge with his country's triumph hour I could	G
Hope bravely on and feel that God was good	G
	-
I could take up my thread of life again	H
And weave my pattern though the colors were	I
Faded forever Though I might not dare	J
Dream often of thee I should know that when	H
Death came to thee upon thy lips my name	K
Lingered and lingers ever without blame	K
	-
Aye lingers ever Though we may not know	L
Much that our spirits crave yet is it given	M
To us to feel that in the waiting Heaven	M
Great souls are greater and if God bestow	L
A mighty love He will not let it die	N
Through the vast ages of eternity	O
	-
But if some day the bitter knowledge swept	P
Down on my life bearing my treasured freight	Q
To founder on the shoals of scorn what Fate	Q
Smiling with awful irony had kept	P
Till life grew sweeter that my god was clay	R
That 'neath thy strength a lurking weakness lay	R
	-
That thou whom I had deemed a man of men	H
Faulty as great men are but with no taint	S
Of baseness with those faults that shew the saint	S
Of after days perhaps wert even then	H
When first I loved thee but a spreading tree	O
Whose leaves shewed not its roots' deformity	O
	-
I should not weep for there are wounds that lie	N
Too deep for tears and Death is but a friend	T
Who loves too dearly and the parting end	T
Of Love's joy day a paltry pain a cry	N
To God then peace beside the torturing grief	U
When honor dies and trust and soul's belief	U
	-
Travellers have told that in the Java isles	V
The upas tree breathes its dread vapor out	W
Into the air there needs no hand about	W
Its branches for the poison's deadly wiles	V
To work a strong man's hurt for there is death	X
Envenomed noisome in his every breath	X
	-
So would I breathe thy poison in my soul	Y
Till all that had been wholesome pure and true	Z
Shewed its decay and stained and wasted grew	Z
Though sundered as the distant Northern Pole	Y
From his far sister I should bear thy blight	A2
Upon me as I passed into the night	A2
	-
Didst dream thy truth and honor meant so much	B2
To me Dear Heart Oh I am full of tears	E
To night of longing love and foolish fears	C2
Would I might see thee know thy tender touch	B2
For Time is long and though I may not will	D2
To question Fate I am a woman still	D2
