Altered; estranged; disintegrated; lost。

Nor shall my love avail you in your hour。

In spite of all my love; you will arise

Upon that day and wander down the air

Obscurely as the unattended flower;

It mattering not how beautiful you were;

Or how beloved above all else that dies。





IX



Let you not say of me when I am old;

In pretty worship of my withered hands

Forgetting who I am; and how the sands

Of such a life as mine run red and gold

Even to the ultimate sifting dust; 〃Behold;

Here walketh passionless age!〃for there expands

A curious superstition in these lands;

And by its leave some weightless tales are told。



In me no lenten wicks watch out the night;

I am the booth where Folly holds her fair;

Impious no less in ruin than in strength;

When I lie crumbled to the earth at length;

Let you not say; 〃Upon this reverend site

The righteous groaned and beat their breasts in prayer。〃





X



Oh; my beloved; have you thought of this:

How in the years to come unscrupulous Time;

More cruel than Death; will tear you from my kiss;

And make you old; and leave me in my prime?

How you and I; who scale together yet

A little while the sweet; immortal height

No pilgrim may remember or forget;

As sure as the world turns; some granite night

Shall lie awake and know the gracious flame

Gone out forever on the mutual stone;

And call to mind that on the day you came

I was a child; and you a hero grown?

And the night pass; and the strange morning break

Upon our anguish for each other's sake!





XI



As to some lovely temple; tenantless

Long since; that once was sweet with shivering brass;

Knowing well its altars ruined and the grass

Grown up between the stones; yet from excess

Of grief hard driven; or great loneliness;

The worshiper returns; and those who pass

Marvel him crying on a name that was;

So is it now with me in my distress。

Your body was a temple to Delight;

Cold are its ashes whence the breath is fled;

Yet here one time your spirit was wont to move;

Here might I hope to find you day or night;

And here I come to look for you; my love;

Even now; foolishly; knowing you are dead。





XII



Cherish you then the hope I shall forget

At length; my lord; Pieria?put away

For your so passing sake; this mouth of clay

These mortal bones against my body set;

For all the puny fever and frail sweat

Of human love;renounce for these; I say;

The Singing Mountain's memory; and betray

The silent lyre that hangs upon me yet?

Ah; but indeed; some day shall you awake;

Rather; from dreams of me; that at your side

So many nights; a lover and a bride;

But stern in my soul's chastity; have lain;

To walk the world forever for my sake;

And in each chamber find me gone again!







WILD SWANS



I looked in my heart while the wild swans went over。

And what did I see I had not seen before?

Only a question less or a question more;

Nothing to match the flight of wild birds flying。

Tiresome heart; forever living and dying;

House without air; I leave you and lock your door。

Wild swans; come over the town; come over

The town again; trailing your legs and crying!
