In the silence of my chamber	A
When the night is still and deep	B
And the drowsy heave of ocean	C
Mutters in its charmed sleep	B
	-
Oft I hear the angel voices	D
That have thrilled me long ago	E
Voices of my lost companions	F
Lying deep beneath the snow	E
	-
O the garden I remember	A
In the gay and sunny spring	G
When our laughter made the thickets	H
And the arching alleys ring	G
	-
O the merry burst of gladness	H
O the soft and tender tone	I
O the whisper never uttered	J
Save to one fond ear alone	I
	-
O the light of life that sparkled	K
In those bright and bounteous eyes	H
O the blush of happy beauty	L
Tell tale of the heart's surprise	H
	-
O the radiant light that girdled	L
Field and forest land and sea	L
When we all were young together	A
And the earth was new to me	L
	-
Where are now the flowers we tended	L
Withered broken branch and stem	M
Where are now the hopes we cherished	L
Scattered to the winds with them	M
	-
For ye too were flowers ye dear ones	H
Nursed in hope and reared in love	N
Looking fondly ever upward	L
To the clear blue heaven above	N
	-
Smiling on the sun that cheered us	H
Rising lightly from the rain	O
Never folding up your freshness	H
Save to give it forth again	P
	-
Never shaken save by accents	H
From a tongue that was not free	L
As the modest blossom trembles	H
At the wooing of the bee	L
	-
O 'tis sad to lie and reckon	C
All the days of faded youth	Q
All the vows that we believed in	R
All the words we spoke in truth	Q
	-
Severed were it severed only	L
By an idle thought of strife	S
Such as time might knit together	A
Not the broken chord of life	S
	-
O my heart that once so truly	L
Kept another's time and tune	T
Heart that kindled in the spring tide	L
Look around thee in the noon	T
	-
Where are they who gave the impulse	H
To thy earliest thought and flow	E
Look around the ruined garden	C
All are withered dropped or low	E
	-
Seek the birth place of the lily	L
Dearer to the boyish dream	U
Than the golden cups of Eden	C
Floating on its slumbrous stream	U
	-
Never more shalt thou behold her	A
She the noblest fairest best	L
She that rose in fullest beauty	L
Like a queen above the rest	L
	-
Only still I keep her image	V
As a thought that cannot die	L
He who raised the shade of Helen	C
Had no greater power than I	L
	-
O I fling my spirit backward	L
And I pass o'er years of pain	O
All I loved is rising round me	L
All the lost returns again	P
	-
Blow for ever blow ye breezes	H
Warmly as ye did before	W
Bloom again ye happy gardens	H
With the radiant tints of yore	W
	-
Warble out in spray and thicket	L
All ye choristers unseen	X
Let the leafy woodland echo	E
With an anthem to its queen	X
	-
Lo she cometh in her beauty	L
Stately with a Juno grace	H
Raven locks Madonna braided	L
O'er her sweet and blushing face	H
	-
Eyes of deepest violet beaming	G
With the love that knows not shame	Y
Lips that thrill my inmost being	G
With the utterance of a name	Y
	-
And I bend the knee before her	A
As a captive ought to bow	Z
Pray thee listen to my pleading	G
Sovereign of my soul art thou	Z
	-
O my dear and gentle lady	L
Let me show thee all my pain	O
Ere the words that late were prisoned	L
Sink into my heart again	P
	-
Love they say is very fearful	A2
Ere its curtain be withdrawn	B2
Trembling at the thought of error	A
As the shadows scare the fawn	B2
	-
Love hath bound me to thee lady	L
Since the well remembered day	L
When I first beheld thee coming	G
In the light of lustrous May	L
	-
Not a word I dared to utter	A
More than he who long ago	E
Saw the heavenly shapes descending	G
Over Ida's slopes of snow	E
	-
When a low and solemn music	C2
Floated through the listening grove	D2
And the throstle's song was silenced	L
And the doling of the dove	N
	-
When immortal beauty opened	L
All its grace to mortal sight	L
And the awe of worship blended	L
With the throbbing of delight	L
	-
As the shepherd stood before them	M
Trembling in the Phrygian dell	E2
Even so my soul and being	G
Owned the magic of the spell	E2
	-
And I watched thee ever fondly	L
Watched thee dearest from afar	F2
With the mute and humble homage	V
Of the Indian to a star	F2
	-
Thou wert still the Lady Flora	G2
In her morning garb of bloom	H2
Where thou wert was light and glory	L
Where thou wert not dearth and gloom	H2
	-
So for many a day I followed	L
For a long and weary while	I2
Ere my heart rose up to bless thee	L
For the yielding of a smile	I2
	-
Ere thy words were few and broken	C
As they answered back to mine	J2
Ere my lips had power to thank thee	L
For the gift vouchsafed by thine	J2
	-
Then a mighty gush of passion	C
Through my inmost being ran	K2
Then my older life was ended	L
And a dearer course began	K2
	-
Dearer O I cannot tell thee	L
What a load was swept away	L
What a world of doubt and darkness	H
Faded in the dawning day	L
	-
All my error all my weakness	H
All my vain delusions fled	L
Hope again revived and gladness	H
Waved its wings above my head	L
	-
Like the wanderer of the desert	L
When across the dreary sand	L
Breathes the perfume from the thickets	H
Bordering on the promised land	L
	-
When afar he sees the palm trees	H
Cresting o'er the lonely well	E2
When he hears the pleasant tinkle	A2
Of the distant camel's bell	E2
	-
So a fresh and glad emotion	C
Rose within my swelling breast	L
And I hurried swiftly onwards	H
To the haven of my rest	L
	-
Thou wert there with word and welcome	L2
With thy smile so purely sweet	L
And I laid my heart before thee	L
Laid it darling at thy feet	L
	-
O ye words that sound so hollow	E
As I now recall your tone	I
What are ye but empty echoes	H
Of a passion crushed and gone	B2
	-
Wherefore should I seek to kindle	A2
Light when all around is gloom	H2
Wherefore should I raise a phantom	L2
O'er the dark and silent tomb	H2
	-
Early wert thou taken Mary	L
In thy fair and glorious prime	M2
Ere the bees had ceased to murmur	A
Through the umbrage of the lime	M2
	-
Buds were blowing waters flowing	G
Birds were singing on the tree	L
Every thing was bright and glowing	G
When the angels came for thee	L
	-
Death had laid aside his terror	A
And he found thee calm and mild	L
Lying in thy robes of whiteness	H
Like a pure and stainless child	L
	-
Hardly had the mountain violet	L
Spread its blossoms on the sod	L
Ere they laid the turf above thee	L
And thy spirit rose to God	L
	-
Early wert thou taken Mary	L
And I know 'tis vain to weep	B
Tears of mine can never wake thee	L
From thy sad and silent sleep	B
	-
O away my thoughts are earthward	L
Not asleep my love art thou	Z
Dwelling in the land of glory	L
With the saints and angels now	Z
	-
Brighter fairer far than living	G
With no trace of woe or pain	O
Robed in everlasting beauty	L
Shall I see thee once again	P
	-
By the light that never fadeth	Z
Underneath eternal skies	H
When the dawn of resurrection	C
Breaks o'er deathless Paradise	H
