When the investing darkness growls	A
And deep reverberates to deep	B
When keyhole whines and chimney howls	A
And all the roofs and windows weep	B
Then through the doorless walls of sleep	B
The still sealed ear and shuttered sight	C
Phantoms of memory steal and creep	B
The very ghosts of sound and light	C
Dream visions and dream voices of a bygone night	C
	-
	-
I see again I hear again	D
Where lightnings flash and house eaves drip	E
A flying swirl of waves and rain	F
That storm path between Sound and Rip	E
I feel the swaying of the ship	E
In every gust that rocks the trees	G
And taste that brine upon my lip	E
And smell the freshness of the breeze	G
That sped us through the welter of those racing seas	G
	-
	-
I hear the menace of the call	H
To rope and rivet wheel and mast	I
In the swift onrush of the squall	H
The challenge of the thundering blast	I
To daring men as it sweeps past	I
And in my dream I have no dread	J
Rivet and rope are firm and fast	I
The clear lights shining green and red	J
The quiet eyes of sentry watching overhead	J
	-
What epic battles pass unsung	K
It was a war of gods befell	L
On that wild night when we were young	K
They rode like cavalry of hell	L
The mighty winds the monstrous swell	L
On their white horses fierce and fleet	M
They stood at bay invincible	N
Where pulsed beneath our sliding feet	M
The faithful iron heart that never lost a beat	M
	-
	-
How the sharp sea spume lashed and stung	K
How the salt sea wind tugged and tare	O
And clawed and mauled us where we clung	K
With panting breasts and streaming hair	O
To our frail eyrie in mid air	O
How we exulted in the fight	C
With neither haste nor halt to dare	O
Those Titans furies in their might	C
Undaunted and unswerving in our insect flight	C
	-
	-
No lap of exquisite repose	P
A mortar wherein souls are brayed	C
An anvil ringing to the blows	P
Whereby true men are shaped and made	C
Divinely strong and unafraid	C
Such gallant sailor men there be	Q
Never unready or dismayed	C
Though 't's the face of death they see	Q
In cyclone fire and fog and white surf on the lee	Q
	-
	-
Not only in the sylvan bower	O
On dreaming hill by sleeping mere	O
	-
	-
The holy place the sacred hour	O
Beset by every form of fear	O
Darkness ahead and danger near	O
Sorely hard driven and hard prest	C
But still unspent and of good cheer	O
He finds them who can pass the test	C
Who never winks an eye and never stays to rest	C
