A Leave-Taking

   Let us go hence, my songs; she will ______ hear.
   Let us go hence together without fear;
   Keep silence now, for singing-time is over,
   And ______ all old things and all things dear.
   She ______ not you nor me as all we love her.
   Yea, though we sang as angels in her ear,
       She would not hear.
   Let us rise up ______ part; she will not know.
   Let us go ______ as the great winds go,
 Full of blown ______ and foam; what help is here?
 There is ______ help, for all these things are so,
 And ______ the world is bitter as a tear.
 And ______ these things are, though ye strove to show,
     ______ would not know.

 Let us go home and hence; she will not weep.
 We gave love many ______ and days to keep,
 Flowers without scent, and ______ that would not grow,
 Saying 'If thou wilt, ______ in thy sickle and reap.'
 All is ______ now; no grass is left to mow;
 And ______ that sowed, though all we fell on sleep,
     ______ would not weep.

 Let us go hence and rest; she will not love.
 She shall not hear ______ if we sing hereof,
 Nor see love's ways, ______ sore they are and steep.
 Come hence, let be, lie still; it is enough.
 Love is a ______ sea, bitter and deep;
 And though she saw ______ heaven in flower above,
     She would not love.

 Let us give up, go down; she will not care.
 Though all the stars made gold of all ______ air,
 And the sea moving saw before it ______
 One moon-flower making all the foam-flowers fair;
 ______ all those waves went over us, and drove
 ______ down the stifling lips and drowning hair,
     She ______ not care.

 Let us go hence, go hence; ______ will not see.
 Sing all once more together; ______ she,
 She too, remembering days and words that were,
 Will turn a little toward us, sighing; but we,
 We are hence, we are gone, as though ______ had not been there.
 Nay, and though all ______ seeing had pity on me,
     She would not see.

Deep She She Though all all and barren dreams fruits how how loves men move no not over reaped sand seaward she surely the thrust us we we would
