Far off is the sea and the land is afar	A
The low banks reach at the sky	B
Seen hence and are heavenward high	B
Though light for the leap of a boy they are	A
And the far sea late was nigh	B
The fair wild fields and the circling downs	C
The bright sweet marshes and meads	D
All glorious with flowerlike weeds	D
The great grey churches the sea washed towns	C
Recede as a dream recedes	D
The world draws back and the world's light wanes	E
As a dream dies down and is dead	F
And the clouds and the gleams overhead	F
Change and change and the sea remains	E
A shadow of dreamlike dread	F
Wild and woful and pale and grey	G
A shadow of sleepless fear	H
A corpse with the night for bier	I
The fairest thing that beholds the day	G
Lies haggard and hopeless here	I
And the wind's wings broken and spent subside	J
And the dumb waste world is hoar	K
And strange as the sea the shore	K
And shadows of shapeless dreams abide	J
Where life may abide no more	K
A sail to seaward a sound from shoreward	L
And the spell were broken that seems	M
To reign in a world of dreams	M
Where vainly the dreamer's feet make forward	L
And vainly the low sky gleams	M
The sea forsaken forlorn deep wrinkled	N
Salt slanting stretches of sand	O
That slope to the seaward hand	O
Were they fain of the ripples that flashed and twinkled	N
And laughed as they struck the strand	O
As bells on the reins of the fairies ring	P
The ripples that kissed them rang	Q
The light from the sundawn sprang	Q
And the sweetest of songs that the world may sing	P
Was theirs when the full sea sang	Q
Now no light is in heaven and now	R
Not a note of the sea wind's tune	S
Rings hither the bleak sky's boon	S
Grants hardly sight of a grey sun's brow	R
A sun more sad than the moon	S
More sad than a moon that clouds beleaguer	T
And storm is a scourge to smite	O
The sick sun's shadowlike light	O
Grows faint as the clouds and the waves wax eager	T
And withers away from sight	O
The day's heart cowers and the night's heart quickens	U
Full fain would the day be dead	O
And the stark night reign in his stead	O
The sea falls dumb as the sea fog thickens	U
And the sunset dies for dread	O
Outside of the range of time whose breath	V
Is keen as the manslayer's knife	W
And his peace but a truce for strife	W
Who knows if haply the shadow of death	V
May be not the light of life	W
For the storm and the rain and the darkness borrow	X
But an hour from the suns to be	Y
But a strange swift passage that we	Y
May rejoice who have mourned not to day to morrow	X
In the sun and the wind and the sea	Y
