I	A
	-
The dubious daylight ended	B
And I walked the Town alone unminding whither bound and why	A
As from each gaunt street and gaping square a mist of light ascended	B
And dispersed upon the sky	A
	-
II	A
	-
Files of evanescent faces	C
Passed each other without heeding in their travail teen or joy	D
Some in void unvisioned listlessness inwrought with pallid traces	C
Of keen penury's annoy	D
	-
III	A
	-
Nebulous flames in crystal cages	E
Leered as if with discontent at city movement murk and grime	F
And as waiting some procession of great ghosts from bygone ages	C
To exalt the ignoble time	F
	-
IV	-
	-
In a colonnade high lighted	B
By a thoroughfare where stern utilitarian traffic dinned	B
On a red and white emblazonment of players and parts I sighted	B
The name of Rosalind	B
	-
V	-
	-
And her famous mates of Arden	G
Who observed no stricter customs than the seasons' difference bade	B
Who lived with running brooks for books in Nature's wildwood garden	G
And called idleness their trade	B
	-
VI	-
	-
Now the poster stirred an ember	H
Still remaining from my ardours of some forty years before	I
When the selfsame portal on an eve it thrilled me to remember	H
A like announcement bore	I
	-
VII	-
	-
And expectantly I had entered	B
And had first beheld in human mould a Rosalind woo and plead	B
On whose transcendent figuring my speedy soul had centred	B
As it had been she indeed	B
	-
VIII	-
	-
So all other plans discarding	J
I resolved on entrance bent on seeing what I once had seen	K
And approached the gangway of my earlier knowledge disregarding	J
The tract of time between	K
	-
IX	C
	-
The words sir cried a creature	H
Hovering mid the shine and shade as 'twixt the live world and the tomb	L
But the well known numbers needed not for me a text or teacher	H
To revive and re illume	L
	-
X	C
	-
Then the play But how unfitted	B
Was THIS Rosalind a mammet quite to me in memories nurst	B
And with chilling disappointment soon I sought the street I had quitted	B
To re ponder on the first	B
	-
XI	C
	-
The hag still hawked I met her	H
Just without the colonnade So you don't like her sir said she	C
Ah I was once that Rosalind I acted her none better	H
Yes in eighteen sixty three	C
	-
XII	C
	-
Thus I won Orlando to me	C
In my then triumphant days when I had charm and maidenhood	B
Now some forty years ago I used to say COME WOO ME WOO ME	C
And she struck the attitude	B
	-
XIII	C
	-
It was when I had gone there nightly	C
And the voice though raucous now was yet the old one Clear as noon	M
My Rosalind was here Thereon the band withinside lightly	C
Beat up a merry tune	M
