They threw a stone, you threw a stone,I threw a stone that day.Although their sharpness bruised his fleshHe had no word to say.But for the moan he did not makeTo-day I make my moan;And for the stone I threw at himMy heart must bear a stone.

Lady, your heart has turned to dust,Your wail is taken by the sea.The wind is knocking at my heart,And will not let me be.Your moaning smites me in my dreams,And I must sorrow till I die.And I shall rove, and I shall weep,Till in the grave I lie.

My son is dead and I am going blind,And in the Ishmael-wind of griefI tremble like a leaf;I have no mind for any word you say:My son is dead and I am going blind.

The pale day drowses on the western steep;The toiler faints along the marge of sleepWithin the sunset-press, incarnadine,The sun, a peasant, tramples out his wine.Ah, scattered gold rests on the twilight streams;The poppy opes her scarlet purse of dreams.Night with the sickle-moon engarners wheat,And binds the sheaves of stars beneath her feet.Rest, weary heart, and every flight-worn bird!The brooklet of the meadow lies unstirred.Sleep, every soul, against a comrade breast!God grant you peace, and guard you in your rest!
