'Upstairs in the large closet child	A
This side the blue room door	B
Is an old Bible bound in leather	C
Standing upon the floor	B
	-
'Go with this taper bring it me	D
Carry it on your arm	E
It is the book on many a sea	D
Hath stilled the waves' alarm '	-
	-
Late the hour dark the night	F
The house is solitary	D
Feeble is a taper's light	F
To light poor Ann to see	D
	-
Her eyes are yet with visions bright	F
Of sylph and river flower and fay	G
Now through a narrow corridor	C
She takes her lonely way	G
	-
Vast shadows on the heedless walls	H
Gigantic loom stoop low	I
Each little hasty footfall calls	H
Hollowly to and fro	I
	-
In the dim solitude her heart	J
Remembers tearlessly	I
White winters when her mother was	K
Her loving company	D
	-
Now in the dark clear glass she sees	L
A taper mocking hers	M
A phantom face of light blue eyes	N
Reflecting phantom fears	O
	-
Around her loom the vacant rooms	P
Wind the upward stairs	Q
She climbs on into a loneliness	R
Only her taper shares	Q
	-
Her grandmother is deaf with age	S
A garden of moonless trees	L
Would answer not though she should cry	T
In anguish on her knees	L
	-
So that she scarcely heeds so fast	U
Her pent up heart doth beat	V
When faint along the corridor	C
Falleth the sound of feet	V
	-
Sounds lighter than silk slippers make	W
Upon a ballroom floor when sweet	V
Violin and 'cello wake	W
Music for twirling feet	V
	-
O in an old unfriendly house	X
What shapes may not conceal	I
Their faces in the open day	G
At night abroad to steal	I
	-
Even her taper seems with fear	Y
To languish small and blue	I
Far in the woods the winter wind	Z
Runs whistling through	I
	-
A dreadful cold plucks at each hair	A2
Her mouth is stretched to cry	T
But sudden with a gush of joy	B2
It narrows to a sigh	T
	-
It is a wilding child which comes	C2
Swift through the corridor	C
Singing an old forgotten song	D2
This ancient burden bore	B
	-
'Thorn thorn I wis	E2
And roses twain	F2
A red rose and a white	F
Stoop in the blossom bee and kiss	E2
A lonely child good night	F
	-
'Swim fish sing bird	G2
And sigh again	H2
I that am lost am lone	I2
Bee in the blossom never stirred	G2
Locks hid beneath a stone '	-
	-
Her eye was of the azure fire	C
That hovers in wintry flame	J2
Her raiment wild and yellow as furze	E2
That spouteth out the same	J2
	-
And in her hand she bore no flower	C
But on her head a wreath	K2
Of faded flag flowers that did yet	L2
Smell sweetly after death	M2
	-
Clear was the light of loveliness	E2
That lit her face like rain	F2
And sad the mouth that uttered	G2
Her immemorial strain	F2
	-
	-
	-
Gloomy with night the corridor	C
Is now that she is gone	N2
Albeit this solitary child	A
No longer seems alone	I2
	-
Fast though her taper dwindles down	O2
Heavy and thick the tome	P2
A beauty beyond fear to dim	Q2
Haunts now her alien home	P2
	-
Ghosts in the world malignant grim	Q2
Vex many a wood and glen	H2
And house and pool the unquiet ghosts	E2
Of dead and restless men	H2
	-
But in her grannie's house this spirit	R2
A child as lone as she	D
Pining for love not found on earth	S2
Ann dreams again to see	D
	-
Seated upon her tapestry stool	I
Her fairy book laid by	T
She gazes in the fire knowing	T2
She hath sweet company	D
