O Lover, for the maze of doom
Is thine the golden clue?
Down by the sullen alder-pool
The wood is grown for you.
Across the black and freshening field,
Beneath the bitter blue,
A Sower swings his rhythmic hands.
Hempseed is sown for you.
What matter—if the love of Love
Be coft with all the shame!
By water, land, or giddy air
The sleep is much the same!
