Fourscore years and seven	A
Light and dew from heaven	A
Have fallen with dawn on these glad woods each day	B
Since here was born even here	C
A birth more bright and dear	D
Than ever a younger year	D
Hath seen or shall till all these pass away	B
Even all the imperious pride of these	E
The woodland ways majestic now with towers of trees	E
Love itself hath nought	B
Touched of tenderest thought	B
With holiest hallowing of memorial grace	F
For memory blind with bliss	G
To love to clasp to kiss	G
So sweetly strange as this	G
The sense that here the sun first hailed her face	F
A babe at Her glad mother's breast	B
And here again beholds it more beloved and blest	B
Love's own heart a living	H
Spring of strong thanksgiving	H
Can bid no strength of welling song find way	B
When all the soul would seek	I
One word for joy to speak	I
And even its strength makes weak	I
The too strong yearning of the soul to say	B
What may not be conceived or said	B
While darkness makes division of the quick and dead	B
Haply where the sun	A
Wanes and death is none	A
The word known here of silence only held	B
Too dear for speech to wrong	J
May leap in living song	J
Forth and the speech be strong	J
As here the silence whence it yearned and welled	B
From hearts whose utterance love sealed fast	B
Till death perchance might give it grace to live at last	B
Here we have our earth	K
Yet with all the mirth	K
Of all the summers since the world began	L
All strengths of rest and strife	M
And love lit love of life	M
Where death has birth to wife	M
And where the sun speaks and is heard of man	L
Yea half the sun's bright speech is heard	B
And like the sea the soul of man gives back his word	B
Earth's enkindled heart	B
Bears benignant part	B
In the ardent heaven's auroral pride of prime	N
If ever home on earth	K
Were found of heaven's grace worth	K
So God beloved a birth	K
As here makes bright the fostering face of time	N
Here heaven bears witness might such grace	F
Fall fragrant as the dewfall on that brightening face	F
Here for mine and me	O
All that eyes may see	O
Hath more than all the wide world else of good	B
All nature else of fair	P
Here as none otherwhere	P
Heaven is the circling air	P
Heaven is the homestead heaven the wold the wood	B
The fragrance with the shadow spread	B
From broadening wings of cedars breathes of dawn's bright bed	B
Once a dawn rose here	P
More divine and dear	P
Rose on a birth bed brighter far than dawn's	Q
Whence all the summer grew	P
Sweet as when earth was new	P
And pure as Eden's dew	P
And yet its light lives on these lustrous lawns	Q
Clings round these wildwood ways and cleaves	R
To the aisles of shadow and sun that wind unweaves and weaves	R
Thoughts that smile and weep	S
Dreams that hallow sleep	S
Brood in the branching shadows of the trees	E
Tall trees at agelong rest	B
Wherein the centuries nest	B
Whence blest as these are blest	B
We part and part not from delight in these	E
Whose comfort sleeping as awake	T
We bear about within us as when first it spake	T
Comfort as of song	J
Grown with time more strong	J
Made perfect and prophetic as the sea	O
Whose message when it lies	U
Far off our hungering eyes	U
Within us prophesies	U
Of life not ours yet ours as theirs may be	O
Whose souls far off us shine and sing	H
As ere they sprang back sunward swift as fire might spring	H
All this oldworld pleasance	U
Hails a hallowing presence	U
And thrills with sense of more than summer near	P
And lifts toward heaven more high	V
The song surpassing cry	V
Of rapture that July	V
Lives for her love who makes it loveliest here	P
For joy that she who here first drew	P
The breath of life she gave me breathes it here anew	P
Never birthday born	W
Highest in height of morn	W
Whereout the star looks forth that leads the sun	A
Shone higher in love's account	B
Still seeing the mid noon mount	B
From the eager dayspring's fount	B
Each year more lustrous each like all in one	A
Whose light around us and above	X
We could not see so lovely save by grace of love	X
