Out of the past there rises a weekA
Who shall read the years OB
Out of the past there rises a weekA
Enringed with a purple zoneC
Out of the past there rises a weekA
When thoughts were strung too thick to speakA
And the magic of its lineaments remains with me aloneC
-
In that week there was heard a singingD
Who shall spell the years the yearsE
In that week there was heard a singingD
And the white owl wondered whyF
In that week yea a voice was ringingD
And forth from the casement were candles flingingD
Radiance that fell on the deodar and lit up the path therebyF
-
Could that song have a mocking noteG
Who shall unroll the years OB
Could that song have a mocking noteG
To the white owl's sense as it fellH
Could that song have a mocking noteG
As it trilled out warm from the singer's throatG
And who was the mocker and who the mocked when two felt all was wellH
-
In a tedious trampling crowd yet laterI
Who shall bare the years the yearsE
In a tedious trampling crowd yet laterI
When silvery singings were dumbJ
In a crowd uncaring what time might fate herI
Mid murks of night I stood to await herI
And the twanging of iron wheels gave out the signal that she was comeJ
-
She said with a travel tired smileK
Who shall lift the years OB
She said with a travel tired smileK
Half scared by scene so strangeL
She said outworn by mile on mileK
The blurred lamps wanning her face the whileK
O Love I am here I am with you Ah that there should have come a changeL
-
O the doom by someone spokenM
Who shall unseal the years the yearsE
O the doom that gave no tokenM
When nothing of bale saw weN
O the doom by someone spokenM
O the heart by someone brokenM
The heart whose sweet reverberances are all time leaves to meN
