But one short night between my Love and meA
I watch the soft shod dusk creep wistfullyA
Through the slow moving curtains pausing byB
And shrouding with its spirit fingers freeA
Each well known chair There is a growing graceC
Of tender magic in this little placeC
-
Comes through half opened windows soft and coolD
As Spring's young breath the vagrant evening airE
My day worn soul is hushed I fain would bearE
No burdens on my brain to night no ruleD
Of anxious thought the world has had my tearsF
My thoughts my hopes my aims these many yearsG
-
This is Thy hour and I shall sink to sleepH
With a glad weariness to know that whenI
The new day dawns I shall lay by my penI
Needed no more If I perchance should weepH
A few quick tears so doing who would guessJ
'Twas the last throb of my soul's lonelinessK
-
Not even thou Dear Heart canst ever knowL
How I have yearned these many months these yearsG
For love for thee As the calm boatman steersG
His slender shallop where he fain would goL
Tempests and rocks before so through the darkM
To this dim far off day has set my barkM
-
To morrow I can hear the quick closed doorN
The approaching steps my pained heart's flutteringO
Thy voice then Thee And all the storm and stingO
Of bygone griefs are passed forevermoreN
Swept from my life as the resistless windP
Scatters the chaff nor leaves a mote behindP
-
As long imprisoned captives reach the lightQ
And gaze with greedy eyes on field and treeN
Drinking the beauties of the sky and seaN
Half fearful of their bliss so from the nightQ
Of dreams and shades half doubting we awakeR
And grasp the joy we almost fear to takeR
-
Thou hidest in thy warm ones my cold handS
Reading my soul in these unwavering eyesT
Nay thou hast known my hopes my agoniesU
Through written words and thou canst understandS
I have kept nothing back of all the streamsV
Of my heart flowings doubts nor fears nor dreamsV
-
So long my life has followed no controlW
But mine own impulse now I pray thee bendX
My will to thine and so unhindered tendX
My soul's wild garden I have laid the wholeW
Bare to thy sowing and life's precious wineY
Is of thy pouring and thy way is mineY
