How weary is it none can tell	A
How dismally the days go by	B
I hear the tinkling of the bell	A
I see the cross against the sky	B
	-
The year wears round to Autumn tide	C
Yet comes no reaper to the corn	D
The golden land is like a bride	C
When first she knows herself forlorn	D
	-
She sits and weeps with all her hair	E
Laid downward over tender hands	F
For stain d silk she hath no care	E
No care for broken ivory wands	G
	-
The silver cups beside her stand	H
The golden stars on the blue roof	I
Yet glitter though against her hand	H
His cold sword presses for a proof	I
	-
He is not dead but gone away	J
How many hours did she wait	K
For me I wonder Till the day	J
Had faded wholly and the gate	K
	-
Clanged to behind returning knights	L
I wonder did she raise her head	M
And go away fleeing the lights	L
And lay the samite on her bed	M
	-
The wedding samite strewn with pearls	N
Then sit with hands laid on her knees	O
Shuddering at half heard sound of girls	N
That chatter outside in the breeze	O
	-
I wonder did her poor heart throb	P
At distant tramp of coming knight	Q
How often did the choking sob	P
Raise up her head and lips The light	Q
	-
Did it come on her unawares	R
And drag her sternly down before	S
People who loved her not in prayers	R
Did she say one name and no more	S
	-
And once all songs they ever sung	T
All tales they ever told to me	U
This only burden through them rung	T
O golden love that waitest me	U
	-
The days pass on pass on apace	V
Sometimes I have a little rest	W
In fairest dreams when on thy face	V
My lips lie or thy hands are prest	W
	-
About my forehead and thy lips	X
Draw near and nearer to mine own	Y
But when the vision from me slips	X
In colourless dawn I lie and moan	Y
	-
And wander forth with fever'd blood	Z
That makes me start at little things	A2
The blackbird screaming from the wood	B2
The sudden whirr of pheasants' wings	A2
	-
O dearest scarcely seen by me	U
But when that wild time had gone by	B
And in these arms I folded thee	U
Who ever thought those days could die	B
	-
Yet now I wait and you wait too	C2
For what perchance may never come	D2
You think I have forgotten you	C2
That I grew tired and went home	E2
	-
But what if some day as I stood	B2
Against the wall with strain d hands	F
And turn'd my face toward the wood	B2
Away from all the golden lands	F
	-
And saw you come with tired feet	F2
And pale face thin and wan with care	E
And stain d raiment no more neat	F2
The white dust lying on your hair	E
	-
Then I should say I could not come	D2
This land was my wide prison dear	G2
I could not choose but go at home	E2
There is a wizard whom I fear	G2
	-
He bound me round with silken chains	H2
I could not break he set me here	I2
Above the golden waving plains	H2
Where never reaper cometh near	G2
	-
And you have brought me my good sword	J2
Wherewith in happy days of old	K2
I won you well from knight and lord	J2
My heart upswells and I grow bold	K2
	-
But I shall die unless you stand	H
Half lying now you are so weak	L2
Within my arms unless your hand	H
Pass to and fro across my cheek	L2
