I have seen her in gowns the brightest,
  Of azure, green, and red,
And in the simplest, whitest,
  Muslined from heel to head;
I have watched her walking, riding,
  Shade-flecked by a leafy tree,
Or in fixed thought abiding
  By the foam-fingered sea.
In woodlands I have known her,
  When boughs were mourning loud,
In the rain-reek she has shown her
  Wild-haired and watery-browed.
And once or twice she has cast me
  As she pomped along the street
Court-clad, ere quite she had passed me,
  A glance from her chariot-seat.
But in my memoried passion
  For evermore stands she
In the gown of fading fashion
  She wore that night when we,
Doomed long to part, assembled
  In the snug small room; yea, when
She sang with lips that trembled,
  “Shall I see his face again?”
  Of azure, green, and red,
And in the simplest, whitest,
  Muslined from heel to head;
I have watched her walking, riding,
  Shade-flecked by a leafy tree,
Or in fixed thought abiding
  By the foam-fingered sea.
In woodlands I have known her,
  When boughs were mourning loud,
In the rain-reek she has shown her
  Wild-haired and watery-browed.
And once or twice she has cast me
  As she pomped along the street
Court-clad, ere quite she had passed me,
  A glance from her chariot-seat.
But in my memoried passion
  For evermore stands she
In the gown of fading fashion
  She wore that night when we,
Doomed long to part, assembled
  In the snug small room; yea, when
She sang with lips that trembled,
  “Shall I see his face again?”
