A stranger I threaded sunken hearted	A
A lamp lit crowd	B
And anon there passed me a soul departed	A
Who mutely bowed	B
In my far off youthful years I had met her	C
Full pulsed but now no more life's debtor	C
Onward she slid	D
In a shroud that furs half hid	D
	-
Why do you trouble me dead woman	E
Trouble me	F
You whom I knew when warm and human	E
How it be	F
That you quitted earth and are yet upon it	G
Is to any who ponder on it	G
Past being read	H
Still it is so she said	H
	-
These were my haunts in my olden sprightly	F
Hours of breath	I
Here I went tempting frail youth nightly	F
To their death	I
But you deemed me chaste me a tinselled sinner	C
How thought you one with pureness in her	C
Could pace this street	J
Eyeing some man to greet	J
	-
Well your very simplicity made me love you	K
Mid such town dross	L
Till I set not Heaven itself above you	K
Who grew my Cross	L
For you'd only nod despite how I sighed for you	K
So you tortured me who fain would have died for you	K
What I suffered then	M
Would have paid for the sins of ten	M
	-
Thus went the days I feared you despised me	F
To fling me a nod	N
Each time no more till love chastised me	F
As with a rod	N
That a fresh bland boy of no assurance	O
Should fire me with passion beyond endurance	O
While others all	P
I hated and loathed their call	P
	-
I said 'It is his mother's spirit	Q
Hovering around	R
To shield him maybe ' I used to fear it	G
As still I found	R
My beauty left no least impression	E
And remnants of pride withheld confession	E
Of my true trade	S
By speaking so I delayed	S
	-
I said 'Perhaps with a costly flower	C
He'll be beguiled '	-
I held it in passing you one late hour	C
To your face you smiled	T
Keeping step with the throng though you did not see there	U
A single one that rivalled me there	U
Well it's all past	V
I died in the Lock at last	V
	-
So walked the dead and I together	C
The quick among	W
Elbowing our kind of every feather	C
Slowly and long	X
Yea long and slowly That a phantom should stalk there	U
With me seemed nothing strange and talk there	U
That winter night	Y
By flaming jets of light	Y
	-
She showed me Juans who feared their call time	Z
Guessing their lot	A2
She showed me her sort that cursed their fall time	Z
And that did not	A2
Till suddenly murmured she Now tell me	F
Why asked you never ere death befell me	F
To have my love	B2
Much as I dreamt thereof	B2
	-
I could not answer And she well weeting	X
All in my heart	C2
Said God your guardian kept our fleeting	X
Forms apart	C2
Sighing and drawing her furs around her	C
Over the shroud that tightly bound her	C
With wafts as from clay	D2
She turned and thinned away	D2
