PEREUNT ET IMPUTANTUR.
He came with me home to my dwelling,
He abode with me all that night,
But ah me for my tale and its telling,
He was gone with the dawn of the light.
He abode with me all that night,
But ah me for my tale and its telling,
He was gone with the dawn of the light.
He was gone without whisper of warning,
He was gone, and he comes not again;
He heeds not the voice of my mourning,
He leaves me alone to my pain.”
He was gone, and he comes not again;
He heeds not the voice of my mourning,
He leaves me alone to my pain.”
Thou also, O Earth, art forsaken,
And the song of the maiden is thine;
For ever thine eyes as they waken
Look wistful for lovers divine.
And the song of the maiden is thine;
For ever thine eyes as they waken
Look wistful for lovers divine.

Bright visions and presences splendid,
They have loved thee a night and a day;
From the void of the ether descended
To the void they are vanished away.
They have loved thee a night and a day;
From the void of the ether descended
To the void they are vanished away.
O Earth be at peace from thy sighing,
For the sound of thy sorrow is vain:
There be others to come at thy crying,
To come, and to leave thee again.
For the sound of thy sorrow is vain:
There be others to come at thy crying,
To come, and to leave thee again.
