75
A WOMAN
She in a high walled garden walks,
Drenching each flower;
Or bends above her favourite beds
After each shower.
Drenching each flower;
Or bends above her favourite beds
After each shower.
There seems no trouble in that brow,
Those quiet eyes;
The buds her silent children are,
Their roof the skies.
Those quiet eyes;
The buds her silent children are,
Their roof the skies.
Was ever kiss upon those lips,
Voice at her ear?
Lived she as now for ever cold
Without a tear?
Voice at her ear?
Lived she as now for ever cold
Without a tear?
Ah! in the locked room in the night,
May then be seen,
Signs upon her, as on some shore,
Where the sea hath been.
May then be seen,
Signs upon her, as on some shore,
Where the sea hath been.
