'The Spring again hath started on the courseA
Wherein she seeketh Summer thro' the EarthB
I will arise and go upon my wayC
It may be that the leaves of Autumn hidD
His footsteps from me it may be the snowsE
-
-
'He is not dead There was no funeralF
I wore no weeds He must be in the EarthB
Oh where is he that I may come to himG
And he may charm the fever of my brainH
-
-
'Oh Spring I hope that thou wilt be my friendI
Thro' the long weary Summer I toiled soreJ
Having much sorrow of the envious woodsK
And groves that burgeoned round me where I cameL
And when I would have seen him shut him inM
-
-
'Also the Honeysuckle and wild bineM
Being in love did hide him from my sightN
The Ash tree bent above him vicious weedsO
Withheld me Willows in the River windP
Hissed at me by the twilight waving wandsQ
-
-
'Also for I have told thee oh dear SpringR
Thou knowest after I had sunk outwornM
In the late summer gloom till Autumn cameL
I looked up in the light of burning WoodsK
And entered on my wayfare when I sawS
Gold on the ground and glory in the treesT
-
-
'And all my further journey thou dost knowM
My toils and outcries as the lusty worldU
Grew thin to winter and my ceaseless feetV
In vales and on stark hills till the first snowM
Fell and the large rain of the latter leavesW
-
-
'I hope that thou wilt be my friend oh SpringR
And give me service of thy winds and streamsX
It needs must be that he will hear thy voiceY
For thou art much as I was when he woo'dZ
And won me long ago beside the DeeA2
-
-
'If he should bend above you oh ye streamsX
And anywhere you look up into eyesB2
And think the star of love hath found her mateC2
And know because of day they are not starsD2
Oh streams they are the eyes of my belovedE2
Oh murmur as I murmured once of oldF2
And he will stay beside you oh ye streamsX
And I shall clasp him when my day is comeG2
-
-
'Likewise I charge thee west wind zephyr windP
If thou shalt hear a voice more sweet than thineM
About a sunset rosetree deep in JuneM
Sweeter than thine oh wind when thou dost leapH2
Into the tree with passion putting byI2
The maiden leaves that ruffle round their dameL
And singest and art silent having droptP
In pleasure on the bosom of the roseE
Oh wind it is the voice of my belovedP
Wake wake and bear me to the voice oh windP
-
-
'Moreover I do think that the spring birdsJ2
Will be my willing servants Wheresoe'erJ
There mourns a hen bird that hath lost her mateP
Her will I tell my sorrow weeping hersK2
-
-
'And if it be a Lark whereto I speakL2
She shall be ware of how my Love went upM2
Sole singing to the cloud and evermoreJ
I hear his song but him I cannot seeA2
-
-
'And if it be a female NightingaleN2
That pineth in the depth of silent woodsK
I also will complain to her that nightP
Is still And of the creeping of the windsO2
And of the sullen trees and of the loneM
Dumb Dark And of the listening of the starsD2
What have we done what have we done oh NightP
-
-
'Therefore oh Love the summer trees shall beA2
My watch towers Wheresoe'er thou liest boundP
I will be there For ere the spring be pastP
I will have preached my dolour through the landP
And not a bird but shall have all my woeM
And whatsoever hath my woe hath meA2
-
-
'I charge you oh ye flowers fresh from the deadP
Declare if ye have seen him You pale flowersK2
Why do you quake and hang the head like meA2
-
-
'You pallid flowers why do ye watch the dustP
And tremble Ah you met him in your cavesP2
And shrank out shuddering on the wintry airJ
-
-
'Snowdrops you need not gaze upon the groundP
Fear not He will not follow ye for thenM
I should be happy who am doomed to woeM
-
-
'Only I bid ye say that he is thereJ
That I may know my grief is to be borneM
And all my Fate is but the common lot '-
-
-
She sat down on a bank of PrimrosesQ2
Swayed to and fro as in a wind of ThoughtP
That moaned about her murmuring alowN2
'The common lot oh for the common lot '-
-
-
Thus spake she and behold a gust of griefR2
Smote her As when at night the dreaming windP
Starts up enraged and shakes the Trees and sleepsS2
-
-
'Oh early Rain oh passion of strong cryingR
Say dost thou weep oh Rain for him or meA2
Alas thou also goest to the EarthB
And enterest as one brought home by fearJ
-
-
'Rude with much woe with expectation wildP
So dashest thou the doors and art not seenM
Whose burial did they speak of in the skiesB2
-
-
'I would that there were any grass green graveT2
Where I might stand and say 'Here lies my Love '-
And sigh and look down to him thro' the EarthB
And look up thro' the clearing skies and smile '-
-
-
Then the Day passed from bearing up the HeavensU2
The sky descended on the Mountain topsV2
Unclouded and the stars embower'd the NightP
-
-
Darkness did flood the Valley flooding herJ
And when the face of her great grief was hidP
Her callow heart that like a nestling birdP
Clamoured sank down with plaintive pipe and slowN2
Her cry was like a strange fowl in the darkW2
'Alas Night ' said she then like a faint ghostP
As tho' the owl did hoot upon the hillsX2
'Alas Night ' On the murky silence cameL
Her voice like a white sea mew on the wasteP
Of the dark deep a sudden seen and lostP
Upon the barren expanse of mid seasT
Black with the Thunder 'Alas Night ' said sheA2
'Alas Night ' Then the stagnant season layN2
From hill to hill But when the waning MoonM
Rose she began with hasty step to runM
The wintry mead a wounded bird that seeksY2
To hide its head when all the trees are bareJ
Silent for all her strength did bear her dreadP
Silent save when with bursting heart she criedP
Like one who wrestles in the dark with fiendsZ2
'Alas Night ' With a dim wild voice of fearJ
As though she saw her sorrow by the moonM
-
-
The morning dawns and earlier than the LarkW2
She murmureth sadder than the NightingaleN2
-
-
'I would I could believe me in that sleepH2
When on our bridal morn I thought him deadP
And dreamed and shrieked and woke upon his breastP
-
-
'Oh God I cannot think that I am blindP
I think I see the beauty of the worldP
Perchance but I am blind and he is nearJ
-
-
'Even as I felt his arm before I wokeA3
And clinging to his bosom called on himG
And wept and knew and knew not it was heA2
-
-
'I do thank God I think that I am blindP
There is a darkness thick about my heartP
And all I seem to see is as a dreamB3
My lids have closed and have shut in the worldP
-
-
'Oh Love I pray thee take me by the handP
I stretch my hand oh Love and quake with dreadP
I thrust it and I know not where Ah meA2
What shall not seize the dark hand of the blindP
-
-
'How know I being blind I am on EarthB
I am in Hell in Hell oh Love I feelN2
There is a burning gulph before my feetP
I dare not stir and at my back the fiendsZ2
I wind my arms my arms that demons scorchC3
Round this poor breast and all that thou shouldst saveT2
From rapine Husband I cry out from HellN2
There is a gulph They seize my flesh ' She shriekedP
-
-
'I will sink down here where I stand All roundP
How know I but the burning pit doth yawnM
Here will I shrink and shrink to no more spaceD3
Than my feet cover ' She wept 'So much upM2
My mortal touch makes honest Oh my LifeE3
My Lord my Husband Fool that cryest in vainM
Ah Angel What hast thou to do with HellN2
-
-
'And yet I do not ask thee oh my LoveF3
To lead me to thee where thou art in HeavenM
Only I would that thou shouldst be my starJ
And whatsoever Fate thy beams dispenseG3
I am content It shall be good to meA2
-
-
'But tho' I may not see thee oh my LoveF3
Yea though mine eyes return and miss thee stillN2
And thou shouldst take another shape than thineM
Have pity on my lot and lead me henceG3
Where I may think of thee To the old fieldsH3
And wonted valleys where we once were blestP
Oh Love all day I hear them out of sightP
The far Home where the Past abideth yetP
Beside the stream that prates of other daysI3
