By a void and soundless river	A
On the outer edge of space	B
Where the body comes not ever	A
But the absent dream hath place	B
Stands a city tall and quiet	C
And its air is sweet and dim	D
Never sound of grief or riot	C
Makes it mad or makes it grim	D
	-
And the tender skies thereover	A
Neither sun nor star behold	E
Only dusk it hath for cover	A
But a glamour soft with gold	E
Through a mist of dreamier essence	F
Than the dew of twilight smiles	G
On strange shafts and domes and crescents	H
Lifting into eerie piles	G
	-
In its courts and hallowed places	I
Dreams of distant worlds arise	J
Shadows of transfigured faces	I
Glimpses of immortal eyes	J
Echoes of serenest pleasure	A
Notes of perfect speech that fall	K
Through an air of endless leisure	A
Marvellously musical	L
	-
And I wander there at even	M
Sometimes when my heart is clear	A
When a wider round of heaven	N
And a vaster world are near	A
When from many a shadow steeple	L
Sounds of dreamy bells begin	M
And I love the gentle people	L
That my spirit finds therein	M
	-
Men of a diviner making	O
Than the sons of pride and strife	P
Quick with love and pity breaking	O
From a knowledge old as life	P
Women of a spiritual rareness	Q
Whom old passion and old woe	R
Moulded to a slenderer fairness	S
Than the dearest shapes we know	R
	-
In its domed and towered centre	A
Lies a garden wide and fair	A
Open for the soul to enter	A
And the watchful townsmen there	A
Greet the stranger gloomed and fretting	O
From this world of stormy hands	T
With a look that deals forgetting	O
And a touch that understands	T
	-
For they see with power not borrowed	U
From a record taught or told	E
But they loved and laughed and sorrowed	E
In a thousand worlds of old	E
Now they rest and dream for ever	A
And with hearts serene and whole	V
See the struggle the old fever	A
Clear as on a painted scroll	V
	-
Wandering by that grey and solemn	W
Water with its ghostly quays	T
Vistas of vast arch and column	W
Shadowed by unearthly trees	T
Biddings of sweet power compel me	X
And I go with bated breath	Y
Listening to the tales they tell me	X
Parables of Life and Death	Y
	-
In a tongue that once was spoken	N
Ere the world was cooled by Time	Z
When the spirit flowed unbroken	N
Through the flesh and the Sublime	Z
Made the eyes of men far seeing	O
And their souls as pure as rain	A2
They declare the ends of being	O
And the sacred need of pain	A2
	-
For they know the sweetest reasons	T
For the products most malign	B2
They can tell the paths and seasons	T
Of the farthest suns that shine	B2
How the moth wing's iridescence	T
By an inward plan was wrought	E
And they read me curious lessons	T
In the secret ways of thought	E
	-
When day turns and over heaven	N
To the balmy western verge	C2
Sail the victor fleets of even	M
And the pilot stars emerge	C2
Then my city rounds and rises	T
Like a vapour formed afar	A
And its sudden girth surprises	T
And its shadowy gates unbar	A
	-
Dreamy crowds are moving yonder	A
In a faint and phantom blue	D2
Through the dusk I lean and wonder	A
If their winsome shapes are true	D2
But in veiling indecision	N
Come my questions back again	E2
Which is real The fleeting vision	N
Or the fleeting world of men	E2
