To a friend leaving England for a year's residence in Australia	A
	-
	-
These winds and suns of spring	B
That warm with breath and wing	B
The trembling sleep of earth till half awake	C
She laughs and blushes ere her slumber break	C
For all good gifts they bring	B
Require one better thing	B
For all the loans of joy they lend us borrow	D
One sharper dole of sorrow	D
To sunder soon by half a world of sea	E
Her son from England and my friend from me	E
Nor hope nor love nor fear	F
May speed or stay one year	F
Nor song nor prayer may bid as mine would fain	G
The seasons perish and be born again	H
Restoring all we lend	I
Reluctant of a friend	I
The voice the hand the presence and the sight	J
That lend their life and light	J
To present gladness and heart strengthening cheer	F
Now lent again for one reluctant year	F
So much we lend indeed	K
Perforce by force of need	K
So much we must even these things and no more	L
The far sea sundering and the sundered shore	L
A world apart from ours	M
So much the imperious hours	M
Exact and spare not but no more than these	N
All earth and all her seas	N
From thought and faith of trust and truth can borrow	D
Not memory from desire nor hope from sorrow	D
Through bright and dark and bright	J
Returns of day and night	J
I bid the swift year speed and change and give	O
His breath of life to make the next year live	P
With sunnier suns for us	Q
A life more prosperous	Q
And laugh with flowers more fragrant that shall see	E
A merrier March for me	E
A rosier girdled race of night with day	R
A goodlier April and a tenderer May	R
For him the inverted year	F
Shall mark our seasons here	S
With alien alternation and revive	P
This withered winter slaying the spring alive	P
With darts more sharply drawn	T
As nearer draws the dawn	T
In heaven transfigured over earth transformed	U
And with our winters warmed	U
And wasted with our summers till the beams	V
Rise on his face that rose on Dante's dreams	V
Till fourfold morning rise	W
Of starshine on his eyes	W
Dawn of the spheres that brand steep heaven across	X
At height of night with semblance of a cross	X
Whose grace and ghostly glory	E
Poured heaven on purgatory	E
Seeing with their flamelets risen all heaven grow glad	Y
For love thereof it had	Y
And lovely joy of loving so may these	N
Make bright with welcome now their southern seas	N
O happy stars whose mirth	Z
The saddest soul on earth	Z
That ever soared and sang found strong to bless	A2
Lightening his life's harsh load of heaviness	A2
With comfort sown like seed	K
In dream though not in deed	K
On sprinkled wastes of darkling thought divine	B2
Let all your lights now shine	B2
With all as glorious gladness on his eyes	A2
For whom indeed and not in dream they rise	A2
As those great twins of air	C2
Hailed once with oldworld prayer	C2
Of all folk alway faring forth by sea	A2
So now may these for grace and guidance be	A2
To guard his sail and bring	B
Again to brighten spring	B
The face we look for and the hand we lack	D2
Still till they light him back	D2
As welcome as to first discovering eyes	A2
Their light rose ever soon on his to rise	A2
As parting now he goes	A2
From snow time back to snows	A2
So back to spring from summer may next year	F
Restore him and our hearts receive him here	S
The best good gift that spring	B
Had ever grace to bring	B
At fortune's happiest hour of star blest birth	Z
Back to love's homebright earth	Z
To eyes with eyes that commune hand with hand	E2
And the old warm bosom of all our mother land	E2
Earth and sea wind and sea	A2
And stars and sunlight be	A2
Alike all prosperous for him and all hours	A2
Have all one heart and all that heart as ours	A2
All things as good as strange	F2
Crown all the seasons' change	F2
With changing flower and compensating fruit	G2
From one year's ripening root	G2
Till next year bring us roused at spring's recall	H2
A heartier flower and goodlier fruit than all	H2
