In twilight of the longest day	A
I lingered over Lucian	B
Till ere the dawn a dreamy way	A
My spirit found untrod of man	C
Between the green sky and the grey	A
	-
Amid the soft dusk suddenly	D
More light than air I seemed to sail	E
Afloat upon the ocean sky	F
While through the faint blue clear and pale	E
I saw the mountain clouds go by	F
My barque had thought for helm and sail	E
And one mist wreath for canopy	D
	-
Like torches on a marble floor	G
Reflected so the wild stars shone	H
Within the abysmal hyaline	H
Till the day widened more and more	G
And sank to sunset and was gone	H
And then as burning beacons shine	H
On summits of a mountain isle	I
A light to folk on sea that fare	J
So the sky's beacons for a while	I
Burned in these islands of the air	J
	-
Then from a starry island set	K
Where one swift tide of wind there flows	L
Came scent of lily and violet	M
Narcissus hyacinth and rose	L
Laurel and myrtle buds and vine	H
So delicate is the air and fine	H
And forests of all fragrant trees	N
Sloped seaward from the central hill	O
And ever clamorous were these	N
	-
With singing of glad birds and still	O
Such music came as in the woods	P
Most lonely consecrate to Pan	H
The Wind makes in his many moods	Q
Upon the pipes some shepherd Man	H
Hangs up in thanks for victory	D
On these shall mortals play no more	G
But the Wind doth touch them over and o'er	R
And the Wind's breath in the reeds will sigh	F
	-
Between the daylight and the dark	S
That island lies in silver air	J
And suddenly my magic barque	S
Wheeled and ran in and grounded there	J
And by me stood the sentinel	T
Of them who in the island dwell	U
All smiling did he bind my hands	V
With rushes green and rosy bands	V
They have no harsher bonds than these	N
The people of the pleasant lands	V
Within the wash of the airy seas	N
	-
Then was I to their city led	W
Now all of ivory and gold	X
The great walls were that garlanded	X
The temples in their shining fold	X
Each fane of beryl built and each	Y
Girt with its grove of shadowy beech	Y
And all about the town and through	Z
There flowed a River fed with dew	Z
As sweet as roses and as clear	A2
As mountain crystals pure and cold	X
And with his waves that water kissed	X
The gleaming altars of amethyst	X
That smoke with victims all the year	A2
And sacred are to the Gods of old	X
	-
There sat three Judges by the Gate	X
And I was led before the Three	D
And they but looked on me and straight	X
The rosy bonds fell down from me	D
Who being innocent was free	D
And I might wander at my will	O
About that City on the hill	O
Among the happy people clad	X
In purple weeds of woven air	J
Hued like the webs that Twilight weaves	B2
At shut of languid summer eves	B2
So light their raiment seemed and glad	X
Was every face I looked on there	J
	-
There was no heavy heat no cold	X
The dwellers there wax never old	X
Nor wither with the waning time	C2
But each man keeps that age he had	X
When first he won the fairy clime	C2
The Night falls never from on high	F
Nor ever burns the heat of noon	H
But such soft light eternally	D
Shines as in silver dawns of June	H
Before the Sun hath climbed the sky	F
	-
Within these pleasant streets and wide	X
The souls of Heroes go and come	C2
Even they that fell on either side	X
Beneath the walls of Ilium	C2
And sunlike in that shadowy isle	I
The face of Helen and her smile	I
Makes glad the souls of them that knew	Z
Grief for her sake a little while	I
And all true Greeks and wise are there	J
And with his hand upon the hair	J
Of Phaedo saw I Socrates	N
About him many youths and fair	J
Hylas Narcissus and with these	N
Him whom the quoit of Phoebus slew	Z
By fleet Eurotas unaware	J
	-
All these their mirth and pleasure made	X
Within the plain Elysian	Z
The fairest meadow that may be	D
With all green fragrant trees for shade	X
And every scented wind to fan	Z
And sweetest flowers to strew the lea	D
The soft Winds are their servants fleet	X
To fetch them every fruit at will	O
And water from the river chill	O
And every bird that singeth sweet	X
Throstle and merle and nightingale	E
Brings blossoms from the dewy vale	E
Lily and rose and asphodel	E
With these doth each guest twine his crown	Z
And wreathe his cup and lay him down	Z
Beside some friend he loveth well	E
	-
There with the shining Souls I lay	E
When lo a Voice that seemed to say	E
In far off haunts of Memory	D
Whoso death taste the Dead Men's bread	X
Shall dwell for ever with these Dead	X
Nor ever shall his body lie	E
Beside his friends on the grey hill	E
Where rains weep and the curlews shrill	E
And the brown water wanders by	E
	-
Then did a new soul in me wake	S
The dead men's bread I feared to break	S
Their fruit I would not taste indeed	X
Were it but a pomegranate seed	X
Nay not with these I made my choice	D2
To dwell for ever and rejoice	D2
For otherwhere the River rolls	E2
That girds the home of Christian souls	E2
And these my whole heart seeks are found	X
On otherwise enchanted ground	X
	-
Even so I put the cup away	E
The vision wavered dimmed and broke	S
And nowise sorrowing I woke	S
While grey among the ruins grey	E
Chill through the dwellings of the dead	X
The Dawn crept o'er the Northern sea	D
Then in a moment flushed to red	X
Flushed all the broken minster old	X
And turned the shattered stones to gold	X
And wakened half the world with me	D
