To you that bask below the Line | D |
I soaking here in winter wet | E |
The century's three strong eights have met | E |
To drag me down to seventy nine | D |

In summer if I reach my day | F |
To you yet young who breathe the balm | G |
Of summer winters by the palm | G |
And orange grove of Paraguay | F |

I tolerant of the colder time | I |
Who love the winter woods to trace | J |
On paler heavens the branching grace | J |
Of leafless elm or naked lime | I |

My giant ilex keeping leaf | H |
When frost is keen and days are brief | H |
Or marvel how in English air | K |

My yucca which no winter quells | J |
Altho' the months have scarce begun | L |
Has push'd toward our faintest sun | L |
A spike of half accomplish'd bells | J |

Or watch the waving pine which here | M |
The warrior of Caprera set | E |
A name that earth will not forget | E |
Till earth has roll'd her latest year | N |

VIII | H |

I once half crazed for larger light | O |
On broader zones beyond the foam | P |
But chaining fancy now at home | P |
Among the quarried downs of Wight | O |

The wealth of tropic bower and brake | R |
Your Oriental Eden isles | J |
Where man nor only Nature smiles | J |
Your wonder of the boiling lake | R |

Phra Chai the Shadow of the Best | S |
Phra bat the step your Pontic coast | T |
Crag cloister Anatolian Ghost | T |
Hong Kong Karnac and all the rest | S |

Thro' which I follow'd line by line | D |
Your leading hand and came my friend | U |
To prize your various book and send | U |
A gift of slenderer value mine | D |
