Dead tired dog tired as the vivid day | B |
Fails and slackens and fades away | B |
The sky that was so blue before | C |
With sudden clouds is shrouded o'er | D |
Swiftly stilly the mists uprise | E |
Till blurred and grey the landscape lies | E |

All day we have plied the oar all day | B |
Eager and keen have said our say | B |
On life and death on love and art | F |
On good or ill at Nature's heart | F |
Now grown so tired we scarce can lift | G |
The lazy oars but onward drift | G |
And the silence is only stirred | H |
Here and there by a broken word | H |

O sweeter far than strain and stress | I |
Is the slow creeping weariness | J |
And better far than thought I find | K |
The drowsy blankness of the mind | K |
More than all joys of soul or sense | L |
Is this divine indifference | M |
Where grief a shadow grows to be | A |
And peace a possibility | A |
