The Youths	A
	-
O Winter O white winter wert thou gone	B
No more within the wilds were I alone	C
Leaping with bent bow over stock and stone	C
	-
No more alone my love the lamp should burn	D
Watching the weary spindle twist and turn	D
Or o er the web hold back her tears and yearn	D
O winter O white winter wert thou gone	B
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
Sweet thoughts fly swiftlier than the drifting snow	F
And with the twisting threads sweet longings grow	F
And o er the web sweet pictures come and go	F
For no white winter are we long alone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
O stream so changed what hast thou done to me	G
That I thy glittering ford no more can see	G
Wreathing with white her fair feet lovingly	G
	-
See in the rain she stands and looking down	H
With frightened eyes upon thy whirlpools brown	H
Drops to her feet again her girded gown	H
O hurrying turbid stream what hast thou done	I
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
The clouds lift telling of a happier day	J
When through the thin stream I shall take my way	J
Girt round with gold and garlanded with may	J
What rushing stream can keep us long alone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
O burning Sun O master of unrest	K
Why must we toiling cast away the best	K
Now when the bird sleeps by her empty nest	K
	-
See with my garland lying at her feet	L
In lonely labour stands mine own my sweet	L
Above the quern half filled with half ground wheat	L
O red taskmaster that thy flames were done	I
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
O love to night across the half shorn plain	M
Shall I not go to meet the yellow wain	M
A look of love at end of toil to gain	M
What flaming sun can keep us long alone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
To morrow said I is grape gathering o er	N
To morrow and our loves are twinned no more	O
To morrow came to bring us woe and war	O
	-
What have I done that I should stand with these	P
Hearkening the dread shouts borne upon the breeze	P
While she far off sits weeping neath her trees	P
Alas O kings what is it ye have done	I
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
Come love delay not come and slay my dread	Q
Already is the banquet table spread	Q
In the cool chamber flower strewn is my bed	Q
Come love what king shall keep us long alone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
O city city open thou thy gate	R
See with life snatched from out the hand of fate	R
How on thy glittering triumph I must wait	R
	-
Are not her hands stretched out to me Her eyes	S
Grow they not weary as each new hope dies	S
And lone before her still the long road lies	S
O golden city fain would I be gone	B
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
And thou art happy amid shouts and songs	T
And all that unto conquering men belongs	T
Night hath no fear for me and day no wrongs	T
What brazen city gates can keep us lone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
O long long road how bare thou art and grey	J
Hill after hill thou climbest and the day	J
Is ended now O moonlit endless way	J
	-
And she is standing where the rushes grow	F
And still with white hand shades her anxious brow	U
Though neath the world the sun is fallen now	U
O dreary road when will thy leagues be done	I
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
O tremblest thou grey road or do my feet	L
Tremble with joy thy flinty face to meet	L
Because my love s eyes soon mine eyes shall greet	L
No heart thou hast to keep us long alone	C
	-
The Youths	A
	-
O wilt thou ne er depart thou heavy night	V
When will thy slaying bring on the morning bright	V
That leads my weary feet to my delight	V
	-
Why lingerest thou filling with wandering fears	W
My lone love s tired heart her eyes with tears	X
For thoughts like sorrow for the vanished years	W
Weaver of ill thoughts when wilt thou be gone	B
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
Love to the east are thine eyes turned as mine	Y
In patient watching for the night s decline	Y
And hast thou noted this grey widening line	Y
Can any darkness keep us long alone	C
	-
The Youth	Z
	-
O day O day is it a little thing	A2
That thou so long unto thy life must cling	A2
Because I gave thee such a welcoming	A2
	-
I called thee king of all felicity	G
I praised thee that thou broughtest joy so nigh	B2
Thine hours are turned to years thou wilt not die	B2
O day so longed for would that thou wert gone	B
	-
The Maidens	E
	-
The light fails love the long day soon shall be	G
Nought but a pensive happy memory	G
Blessed for the tales it told to thee and me	G
How hard it was O love to be alone	C
