THE old dead flowers of bygone summers	A
The old sweet songs that are no more sung	B
The rose red dawns that were welcome comers	A
When you and I and the world were young	B
Are lost O love to the light for ever	C
And seen no more of the moon or sun	D
For seas divide and the seasons sever	C
And twain are we that of old were one	D
	-
O fair lost love when the ship went sailing	E
Across the seas in the years agone	D
And seaward set were the eyes unquailing	E
And landward looking the faces wan	D
	-
My heart went back as a dove goes homeward	F
With wings aweary to seek its nest	G
While fierce sea eagles are flying foamward	G
And storm winds whiten the surge s crest	G
	-
And far inland for a farewell pardon	D
Flew on and on while the ship went South	H
The rose was red in the red rose garden	D
And red the rose of your laughing mouth	H
	-
But no word came on the wind in token	D
Of love that lasts till the end and so	I
My heart returned to me bruised and broken	D
From you my love of the long ago	I
	-
The green fields seemed in the distance growing	E
To silken squares on a weaver s loom	J
As oversea came the land wind blowing	E
The faint sweet scent of the clover bloom	J
	-
A rarer odour to me it carried	G
In subtle delicate way to tell	K
Of you ere you and the world were married	G
The lilac odour you loved so well	K
	-
Again I saw you beneath the blooms of	L
Those lilac trees in the garden old	G
Ah me each tree is a mark for tombs of	L
Dead dreams and memories still and cold	G
	-
And Death comes there with his breath scent laden	D
And gathering gently the blossoms shed	G
In guise of Autumn the brown browed maiden	D
With your and my dead buries his dead	G
	-
O fairer far than the fair ideal	M
Of him who imaged the foam born Queen	D
In foam white marble a dream made real	M
To me were you in those years I ween	D
	-
Your lips were redder than night shade berries	N
That burn in borders of hedgerowed lanes	O
And sweeter far than the sweet wild cherries	N
The June sun flushes with crimson stains	O
	-
And gray your eyes as a gray dove s wings were	C
A gray soft shadowing deeps profound	G
Where thoughts that reached to the heart of things were	C
And love lay dreaming though seeming drowned	G
	-
Twin tulip breasted like her the tread of	L
Whose feet made music in Paphos fair	P
The world to me was not worth a thread of	L
Your brown ambrosial braided hair	P
	-
Mayhap you loved me at one time truly	Q
And I was jealous and you were proud	G
But mine the love of the king in Thule	Q
Till death and yours sleeps well in shroud	G
	-
So night came down like a sombre raven	D
And southward ever the ship was borne	D
Till glad green fields and lessening haven	D
Grew faint and faded like ghosts at morn	D
	-
As fields of Heaven eternal blooming	E
Those flowerful fields of my mother land	G
In midnight visions are still perfuming	E
All wild waste places and seas of sand	G
	-
And still in seasons of storm and thunder	C
In strange lands under your land and mine	D
And though our ways have been wide asunder	C
In calm and tempest and shade and shine	D
	-
Your face I see as I saw the last time	R
As one borne space ward on wings of light	G
With eyes turned back to a sight of past time	R
Beholds for ever that self same sight	G
	-
But scorn has died on your lips and through you	S
Shines out star bright an immortal grace	T
As though God then to His heaven drew you	S
And sent an angel to take your place	T
	-
I plucked one rose from the tree you cherished	G
My heart s blood ebbing has kept it red	G
And all my hopes with its scent have perished	G
Why mourn them now are the dead not dead	G
	-
And yet God knows as this rose I kiss you	S
May feel the kisses across the sea	Q
And soul to soul for the larger issue	S
Your soul may stand with the soul of me	Q
	-
Unknown to you for the strings of Being	E
Are not so easily snapped or torn	D
And we may journey with eyes unseeing	E
On paths that meet in the years unborn	D
	-
Farewell dear heart Warm sighs may sever	C
Ripe lips of love like a rose leaf curled	G
But you remain unto me for ever	C
The one fair woman in all the world	G
