Has your soul sippedA
Of the sweetness of all sweetsB
Has it well suppedA
But yet hungers and sweatsC
-
I have been witnessD
Of a strange sweetnessD
All fancy surpassingE
Past all supposingE
-
Passing the raysF
Of the rubies of morningE
Or the soft riseG
Of the moon or the meaningE
Known to the roseH
Of her mystery and mourningE
-
Sweeter than nocturnesH
Of the wild nightingaleI
Or than love's nectarJ
After life's gallK
-
Sweeter than odoursH
Of living leavesH
Sweeter than ardoursH
Of dying lovesH
-
Sweeter than deathL
And dreams hereafterJ
To one in dearthM
Or life and its laughterJ
-
Or the proud woundA
The victor wearsH
Or the last endA
Of all warsH
-
Or the sweet murderJ
After long guardA
Unto the martyrJ
Smiling at GodA
-
To me was that smileN
Faint as a wan worn mythO
Faint and exceeding smallK
On a boy's murdered mouthP
-
Though from his throatA
The life tide leapsH
There was no threatA
On his lipsH
-
But with the bitter bloodA
And the death smellQ
All his life's sweetness bledA
Into a smileN
