When Astraled was lying like to die	A
Of love's green sickness all his bed was strown	B
With buds of crocus and anemone	B
For other flowers yet were barely none	B
And these he loved And so it came to pass	C
That when they deemed he slept then one by one	B
The watchers left him for the Candlemas	C
And thus he chanced upon his bed alone	B
When the day broke You might have deemed he was	C
An image of Hope slain by drear Oblivion	B
	-
The chamber where he lay was hushed as sorrow	D
Which is joy's anteroom The holy night	E
In silent expectation of the morrow	D
Gazed on the moon as some fair anchorite	E
On her own chastity until the sight	E
Made her heart ache But as the morning broke	F
Down the dim lobby came Somandolin	B
With her thick hair around her like a cloak	F
Even to her feet I wot she might have been	B
The dawn's own sister Clad in mystic white	E
More beautiful than awe came that fair woman in	B
	-
Long while she stood before the dreaming boy	G
Still as he lay on crimson cushions piled	E
And when she bent o'er him her breath did toy	G
With his dank hair Long while she stood and smiled	E
As smiled Elisha on the widow's child	E
In Shunam For although her lips were sad	E
As a broken bow if you had read their meaning	H
You would have learned the sense that smiling had	E
Was less of sorrow than of joy beguiled	E
To grief at the sad world and its revealing	H
As when the name of Death is whispered to a child	E
	-
Doubtless that lady knew the spell to win	B
The life blood back for when she bent her down	B
And laid her cheek to his that was so thin	B
The shut lips quivered and let fall a moan	B
As in sweet pain And next Somandolin	B
Put her white hand upon the sleeper's arm	I
Entangled in his tresses She could feel	J
The curls crisp back like leaves when they grow warm	K
Before a watchfire Then she took his chin	B
In her two palms and bade his eyes unseal	J
Their close shut lids and laid her lips upon his own	B
	-
Slowly as in a trance of wonderment	E
Those blue eyes opened wide as from the dead	E
His spirit stole Old memories came and went	E
Like summer lightnings and a murmur sped	E
To his dull ear until he deemed it said	E
In a new tongue which none might heed but he	L
Arise and worship for behold thy bed	E
And all about thee is as holy ground ''	-
And then he cried Behold dear love I rise ''	-
And on a sudden waking from his swound	E
A countenance of tearful majesty	E
And strange ecstatic love looked in his eyes	C
	-
These things were written for a mystery	E
In the Book of Life lest lovers in their need	E
Should faint for hunger by the road and die	E
Thus were they written Though a god should read	E
He could not choose but learn a newer creed	E
Transcending his own knowledge For anon	B
The Mass being ended came the rest with speed	E
Bearing with them the blest viaticum	K
And holy oils nor guessed he needed not	E
Who sought him a long hour The warder told	E
Erewhile a knight belike Sir Astraled	E
With a white lady rode the castle out	E
And all his harness was of burnished gold	E
Who pricking fast towards the rising sun	B
Was gone beyond the hills upon his battle steed	E
