'Twas in that island summer where	A
They spin the morning gossamer	B
And weave the evening mist	C
That underneath the hawthorn tree	D
I loved my love and my love loved me	D
And there we lay and kissed	C
And saw the happy ships upon the yielding sea	D
	-
	-
Soft my heart and warm his wooing	E
What we did seemed while 'twas doing	E
Beautiful and wise	F
Wiser fairer more in tune	G
Than all else in that sweet June	G
And sinless as the skies	F
That warmed the willing earth thro' all the languid noon	G
	-
	-
Ah that fatal spell	H
Ere the evening fell	H
I fled away to hide my frightened face	I
And cried that I was born	J
And sobbed with love and scorn	J
And in the darkness sought a darker place	I
And blushed and wept and blushed and dared not think of morn	J
	-
	-
Day and night day and night	K
And I saw no light	K
Night and day night and day	L
And in my woe I lay	L
And dreamed the dreams they dream who cannot sleep	M
My speech was withered and I could not pray	L
My tears were frozen and I could not weep	M
	-
	-
I saw the hawthorn rise	F
Between me and the skies	F
I felt the shadow was from pole to pole	N
I felt the leaves were shed	O
I felt the birds were dead	O
And on the earth I snowed the winter of my soul	N
	-
	-
Like to the hare wide eyed	P
That with her throbbing side	P
Pressed to the rock awaits the coming cry	Q
In my despair I sate	R
And waited for my fate	R
And as the hunted hare returns to die	Q
And with her latest breath	S
Regains her native heath	T
	-
	-
So when I heard the feet of destiny	D
Near and more near and caught the yelp of death	S
Toward the sounding sea	D
Toward my hawthorn tree	D
Under the ignorant stars I darkly crept	U
'There ' I said 'they'll find me dead	O
Lying within my maidenhead '	-
And at my own unwonted voice I wept	U
And for my great heart ache	V
Within a little brake	V
I lay me weary down and weary slept	U
Nor ever oped mine eyes till morn had left the lake	V
	-
	-
Her morning bath was o'er	B
And on the golden shore	W
She stood like Flora with her floral train	X
And all her track was seen	Y
Among the watery sheen	Y
That blushed and wished and blushing wished again	Z
And parted still and closed with pleasure that had been	A2
	-
	-
Oh the happy isle	B2
The universal smile	B2
That met as love meets love the smile of day	L
And touched and lit delight	K
Within the common light	K
Till all the joy of life was ecstacy	D
And morn's wild maids ran each her flowery way	L
And shook her dripping locks o'er hill and dale and lea	D
'At least ' I said 'my tree is sear and blight	K
My tree my hawthorn tree '	-
	-
	-
With downcast eyes of fear	C2
I drew me near and near	C2
Dazed with the dewy glory of the hour	B
Till under foot I see	D
A flower too dear to me	D
I pause and raise my full eyes from the flower	B
And lo my hawthorn tree	D
	-
	-
As a white limbed may	L
In some illumined bay	L
Flings round her shining charms in starry rain	X
And with her body bright	K
Dazzles the waters white	K
That fall from her fair form and flee in vain	X
Dyed with the dear unutterable sight	K
And circle out her beauty thro' the circling main	X
	-
	-
So my hawthorn tree	D
Stood and seemed to me	D
The very face that smiled the summer smile	B2
All lesser light bearers	D
Did light their lamps at hers	D
She lit her own at heaven's and looked the while	B2
A purer sweeter sun	D2
Whence beauty was begun	D2
And blossomed from her blossoms thro' the blossoming isle	B2
Then I took heart and as I looked upon	E2
Her unstained white I said 'I am not wholly vile '	-
	-
	-
Thus my hawthorn tree	D
Was my witness unto me	D
And so I answered my impleading sin	A2
Till blossom time was o'er	B
And with the autumn roar	W
Mine unrebuked accuser entered in	A2
And I fell down convinced and strove with shame no more	W
	-
	-
Some time after came to me	D
An image of the hawthorn tree	D
And bore the old sweet witness and I heard	F2
And from among the dead	O
I lifted up my head	O
As one lifts up to hear a little bird	F2
And finds the night is past and all the east is red	O
	-
	-
Small and fair choice and rare	A
Snowy pale with moonlight hair	A
My little one blossoms and springs	D
Like joy with woe singing to it	G2
Like love with sorrow to woo it	G2
So my witty one so my pretty one sings	D
And I see the white hawthorn tree and the bright summer bird singing thro' it	G2
And my heart is prouder than kings	D
	-
	-
While I look on her I seem	H2
Once again in the sweet dream	H2
Of that enchanted day	L
When underneath the hawthorn tree	D
I loved my love and my love loved me	D
And lost in love we lay	L
And saw the happy ships upon the yielding sea	D
	-
	-
While I look on her I seem	H2
Once again in that bright dream	H2
Beautiful and wise	D
Wiser fairer more in tune	G
Than all else in that sweet June	G
And sinless as the skies	D
That warmed the willing earth thro' all the languid noon	G
	-
	-
Like my hawthorn tree	D
She stands and seems to me	D
The very face that smiles the summer smile	B2
All lesser light bearers	D
Do light their lamps at hers	D
She lights her own at heaven's and looks the while	B2
A sweeter purer sun	D2
Whence beauty is begun	D2
To blossom from that blossom thro' the blossoming isle	B2
	-
	-
Thou shalt not leave me child	I2
Come weather fierce or mild	I2
My babe my blossom thou shalt never leave me	D
Life shall never wean us	D
Nor death shall e'er have room to come between us	D
And time may grieve me but shall ne'er bereave me	D
Nor see us more apart than he hath seen us	D
	-
	-
For I will fall with thee	D
As a bird from the tree	D
Falls with a butterfly petal whitely shed	O
And falling thou and I	Q
I shall not dread to die	Q
But like a child I'll take my flower to bed	O
And when the long cold death night hath gone by	Q
In the great darkness of the sepulchre	D
I'll feel and find thee near	D
My babe my white white blossom	J2
And when the trumpet cries	D
I shall not fear to rise	D
But wear thee o'er the spot upon my bosom	J2
And come out of my grave and bear the awful eyes	D
