Your place is Heaven a stormless nightless home | D |
Then we twain never more shall live together | E |
Such days of gladdest thought as here whilom | D |
We spent amid the change of earthly weather | E |
- | |
No white young day like hope smiles in yon east | F |
Or westering cleaves wild omened scarlet glooms | G |
No frosty breezes wreathe your woods in mist | H |
No breaker o'er Heaven's glassy ocean booms | G |
- | |
No scents of delved dewy soil arise | G |
No storm blue pall in state hangs hill or lea | I |
No nightly seas swirl in grey agonies | G |
Nor old Earth's sweet decays dye herb or tree | I |
- | |
Do wan gold tints shot on the midnight air | J |
Herald the moon that loiters far away | A |
Or moony sea gleams peep and beckon there | J |
From sapphire dark or mystic silver grey | A |
- | |
No not the olden pleasure shall be there | J |
We knew before the grass sprang o'er your breast | K |
Yet that is yours which here hearts cannot share | J |
Heaven's summer peace eterne and noonday rest | K |
