| And I will drink the lissome air | A |
| And see if yet the heavens have gained their blue | B |
| Then rose my Sorrow as an aged man | C |
| And stared as such a one will stare | A |
| A querulous doubt through tears that freshly ran | C |
| Wherefore I said Content thou shalt go too | B |
| - | |
| So went we throughthe sunlit crocus glade | D |
| I and my Sorrow casting shade | D |
| On all the innocent things that upward pree | E |
| And coax for smiles but as I went I bowed | F |
| And whispered Be no whit afraid | D |
| He will pass sad and gentle as a cloud | F |
| It is my Sorrow leave him unto me' | G |
| - | |
| And every floweret in that happy place | H |
| Yearned up into the weary face | H |
| With pitying love and held its golden breath | I |
| Regardless seeming he as though within | J |
| Was nothing apt for their sweet grace | H |
| Nor any sense save such as is akin | J |
| To charnel glooms and emptiness of death | I |
| - | |
| Then sung a lusty bird whose throat was clear | K |
| And strong with elemental cheer | K |
| Till very heaven seemed lifted with the joy | L |
| Jet after jet tumultuous music burst | M |
| Fount like and filled the expanding sphere | K |
| Whereat my soul was fain to slake its thirst | M |
| Intent and ravished with that blest employ | L |
| - | |
| The songster ceased articulate as a bell | N |
| The rippling echoes fell and fell | N |
| Upon the shore of silence Then I turned | O |
| To call upon my Sorrow he was not | P |
| But O what splendour filled the dell I | Q |
| There I there I O there upon the very spot | P |
| Where he had been an awful glory burned | O |
| - | |
| It was as though the mouth of God had kissed | R |
| And purpled into amethyst | R |
| Wan lips as though red quickening ichor rills | H |
| Had flushed his heart 'twas he no more no more | S |
| 'Twas she my soul's evangelist | R |
| My rose my love and lovelier than before | S |
| Dew nurtured on the far Celestial hills | H |
| - | |
| O love I cried I come I come to thee | E |
| Stay stay | T |
| But softly silently | E |
| As pales the moon before the assault of day | T |
| So spectral white against the brighter blue | B |
| Faded my darling But with me | E |
| Walks never more that shadow | U |
| God is true | B |
| And God was in that bird believe it as ye may | T |
