First lines

Stand on the highest pavement of the stair --

Lean on a garden urn --

Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair -- Clasp your flowers to you with a pained surprise -- Fling them to the ground and turn With a fugitive resentment in your eyes: But weave, weave the sunlight in your hair.

So I would have had him leave, So I would have had her stand and grieve, So he would have left As the soul leaves the body torn and bruised As the mind deserts the body it has used.
