Will my love come to me?
Alas! I have no love.
Though in green and rainy places
The fronds of the ferns uncurl,
And violets lift their faces
To a crescent moon of pearl.

Will my love come to me?
Alas! I have no love.
Far off -- somewhere -- a shining head --
O sweet Lord Christ who canst raise the dead,
Take my soul and give me my love instead!
Will my love come to me?
Alas! I have no love.
