This is the story a man told me	A
Of his life's one day of dreamery	B
	-
A woman came into his room	C
Between the dawn and the creeping day	D
She was the years wed wife from whom	C
He had parted and who lived far away	D
As if strangers they	D
	-
He wondered and as she stood	E
She put on youth in her look and air	B
And more was he wonderstruck as he viewed	F
Her form and flesh bloom yet more fair	B
While he watched her there	B
	-
Till she freshed to the pink and brown	G
That were hers on the night when first they met	H
When she was the charm of the idle town	G
And he the pick of the club fire set	H
His eyes grew wet	H
	-
And he stretched his arms Stay rest	I
He cried Abide with me so my own	J
But his arms closed in on his hard bare breast	I
She had vanished with all he had looked upon	K
Of her beauty gone	L
	-
He clothed and drew downstairs	M
But she was not in the house he found	N
And he passed out under the leafy pairs	M
Of the avenue elms and searched around	N
To the park pale bound	N
	-
He mounted and rode till night	O
To the city to which she had long withdrawn	L
The vision he bore all day in his sight	O
Being her young self as pondered on	K
In the dim of dawn	L
	-
The lady here long ago	P
Is she now here young or such age as she is	Q
She is still here Thank God Let her know	P
She'll pardon a comer so late as this	R
Whom she'd fain not miss	R
	-
She received him an ancient dame	S
Who hemmed with features frozen and numb	T
How strange I'd almost forgotten your name	S
A call just now is troublesome	T
Why did you come	T
