I
|
Strings
in the earth and air Make music sweet;
|
II
|
The
twilight turns from amethyst To deep and deeper blue,
|
III
|
At
that hour when all things have repose, O lonely watcher of the
skies,
|
IV
|
When
the shy star goes forth in heaven All maidenly, disconsolate,
|
V
|
Lean out of the window, Goldenhair,
|
VI
|
I
would in that sweet bosom be (O sweet it is and fair it is!)
|
VII
|
My
love is in a light attire Among the apple-trees,
|
VIII
|
Who
goes amid the green wood With springtide all adorning her?
|
IX
|
Winds
of May, that dance on the sea, Dancing a ring-around in glee
|
X
|
Bright
cap and streamers, He sings in the hollow:
|
XI
|
Bid
adieu, adieu, adieu, Bid adieu to girlish days,
|
XII
|
What
counsel has the hooded moon Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
|
XIII
|
Go
seek her out all courteously, And say I come,
|
XIV
|
My
dove, my beautiful one, Arise, arise!
|
XV
|
From
dewy dreams, my soul, arise, From love’s deep slumber and
from death,
|
XVI
|
O
cool is the valley now And there, love, will we go
|
XVII
|
Because
your voice was at my sidew I gave him pain,
|
XVIII
|
O
sweetheart, hear you Your lover’s tale;
|
XIX
|
Be
not sad because all men Prefer a lying clamour before you:
|
XX
|
In
the dark pine-wood I would we lay,
|
XXI
|
He
who hath glory lost, nor hath Found any soul to fellow his,
|
XXII
|
Of
that so sweet imprisonment My soul, dearest, is fain—
|
XXIII
|
This
heart that flutters near my heart My hope and all my riches is,
|
XXIV
|
Silently
she’s combing, Combing her long hair,
|
XXV
|
Lightly
come or lightly go: Though thy heart presage thee woe,
|
XXVI
|
Thou
leanest to the shell of night, Dear lady, a divining ear.
|
XXVII
|
Though
I thy Mithridates were, Framed to defy the poison-dart,
|
XXVIII
|
Gentle
lady, do not sing Sad songs about the end of love;
|
XXIX
|
Dear
heart, why will you use me so? Dear eyes that gently me upbraid,
|
XXX
|
Love
came to us in time gone by When one at twilight shyly played
|
XXXI
|
O,
it was out by Donnycarney When the bat flew from tree to tree
|
XXXII
|
Rain
has fallen all the day. O come among the laden trees:
|
XXXIII
|
Now,
O now, in this brown land Where Love did so sweet music make
|
XXXIV
|
Sleep
now, O sleep now, O you unquiet heart!
|
XXXV
|
All
day I hear the noise of waters Making moan,
|
XXXVI
|
I
hear an army charging upon the land, And the thunder of horses
plunging, foam about their knees:
