I	A
	-
Here am I yet another twelvemonth spent	B
One third departed of the mortal span	C
Carrying on the child into the man	C
Nothing into reality Sails rent	B
And rudder broken reason impotent	D
Affections all unfixed so forth I fare	E
On the mid seas unheedingly so dare	E
To do and to be done by well content	B
So was it from the first so is it yet	F
Yea the first kiss that by these lips was set	F
On any human lips methinks was sin	G
Sin cowardice and falsehood for the will	H
Into a deed e'en then advanced wherein	G
God unidentified was thought of still	H
	-
II	A
	-
Though to the vilest things beneath the moon	I
For poor Ease' sake I give away my heart	J
And for the moment's sympathy let part	J
My sight and sense of truth Thy precious boon	I
My painful earnings lost all lost as soon	I
Almost as gained and though aside I start	J
Belie Thee daily hourly still Thou art	J
Art surely as in heaven the sun at noon	I
How much so e'er I sin whate'er I do	K
Of evil still the sky above is blue	K
The stars look down in beauty as before	L
It is enough to walk as best we may	M
To walk and sighing dream of that blest day	M
When ill we cannot quell shall be no more	L
	-
III	A
	-
Well well Heaven bless you all from day to day	M
Forgiveness too or e'er we part from each	N
As I do give it so must I beseech	N
I owe all much much more than I can pay	M
Therefore it is I go how could I stay	M
Where every look commits me to fresh debt	F
And to pay little I must borrow yet I	A
Enough of this already now away	M
With silent woods and hills untenanted	F
Let me go commune under thy sweet gloom	O
O kind maternal Darkness hide my head	F
The day may come I yet may re assume	O
My place and these tired limbs recruited seek	P
The task for which I now am all too weak	P
	-
IV	-
	-
Yes I have lied and so must walk my way	M
Bearing the liar's curse upon my head	F
Letting my weak and sickly heart be fed	F
On food which does the present craving stay	M
But may be clean denied me e'en to day	M
And tho' 'twere certain yet were ought but bread	F
Letting for so they say it seems I said	F
And I am all too weak to disobey	M
Therefore for me sweet Nature's scenes reveal not	F
Their charm sweet Music greets me and I feel not	F
Sweet eyes pass off me uninspired yea more	L
The golden tide of opportunity	F
Flows wafting in friendships and better I	A
Unseeing listless pace along the shore	L
	-
V	F
	-
How often sit I poring o'er	Q
My strange distorted youth	R
Seeking in vain in all my store	L
One feeling based on truth	R
Amid the maze of petty life	-
A clue whereby to move	-
A spot whereon in toil and strife	-
To dare to rest and love	-
So constant as my heart would be	F
So fickle as it must	F
'Twere well for others as for me	F
'Twere dry as summer dust	F
Excitements come and act and speech	N
Flow freely forth but no	S
Nor they nor ought beside can reach	N
The buried world below	S
	-
VI	A
	-
Like a child	F
In some strange garden left awhile alone	T
I pace about the pathways of the world	F
Plucking light hopes and joys from every stem	U
With qualms of vague misgiving in my heart	F
That payment at the last will be required	F
Payment I cannot make or guilt incurred	F
And shame to be endured	F
	-
VII	A
Roused by importunate knocks	V
I rose I turned the key and let them in	G
First one anon another and at length	W
In troops they came for how could I who once	X
Had let in one nor looked him in the face	Y
Show scruples e'er again So in they came	Z
A noisy band of revellers vain hopes	A2
Wild fancies fitful joys and there they sit	F
In my heart's holy place and through the night	F
Carouse to leave it when the cold grey dawn	B2
Gleams from the East to tell me that the time	C2
For watching and for thought bestowed is gone	B2
	-
VIII	A
	-
O kind protecting Darkness as a child	F
Flies back to bury in its mother's lap	D2
His shame and his confusion so to thee	F
O Mother Night come I within the folds	E2
Of thy dark robe hide thou me close for I	A
So long so heedless with external things	F2
Have played the liar that whate'er I see	F
E'en these white glimmering curtains yon bright stars	G2
Which to the rest rain comfort down for me	F
Smiling those smiles which I may not return	H2
Or frowning frowns of fierce triumphant malice	I2
As angry claimants or expectants sure	J2
Of that I promised and may not perform	K2
Look me in the face O hide me Mother Night	F
	-
IX	I2
	-
Once more the wonted road I tread	F
Once more dark heavens above me spread	F
Upon the windy down I stand	F
My station whence the circling land	F
Lies mapped and pictured wide below	S
Such as it was such e'en again	L2
Long dreary bank and breadth of plain	M2
By hedge or tree unbroken lo	S
A few grey woods can only show	S
How vain their aid and in the sense	I2
Of one unaltering impotence	I2
Relieving not meseems enhance	I2
The sovereign dulness of the expanse	I2
Yet marks where human hand hath been	G
Bare house unsheltered village space	I2
Of ploughed and fenceless tilth between	N2
Such aspect as methinks may be	F
In some half settled colony	F
From Nature vindicate the scene	N2
A wide and yet disheartening view	A
A melancholy world	F
	-
'Tis true	A
Most true and yet like those strange smiles	I2
By fervent hope or tender thought	F
From distant happy regions brought	F
Which upon some sick bed are seen	N2
To glorify a pale worn face	I2
With sudden beauty so at whiles	I2
Lights have descended hues have been	G
To clothe with half celestial grace	I2
The bareness of the desert place	I2
	-
Since so it is so be it still	H
Could only thou my heart be taught	F
To treasure and in act fulfil	H
The lesson which the sight has brought	F
In thine own dull and dreary state	F
To work and patiently to wait	F
Little thou think'st in thy despair	E
How soon the o'ershaded sun may shine	O2
And e'en the dulling clouds combine	O2
To bless with lights and hues divine	O2
That region desolate and bare	E
Those sad and sinful thoughts of thine	O2
	-
Still doth the coward heart complain	M2
The hour may come and come in vain	M2
The branch that withered lies and dead	F
No suns can force to lift its head	F
True yet how little thou canst tell	H
How much in thee is ill or well	H
Nor for thy neighbour nor for thee	F
Be sure was life designed to be	F
A draught of dull complacency	F
One Power too is it who doth give	A
The food without us and within	G
The strength that makes it nutritive	A
He bids the dry bones rise and live	A
And e'en in hearts depraved to sin	G
Some sudden gracious influence	I2
May give the long lost good again	L2
And wake within the dormant sense	I2
And love of good for mortal men	L2
So but thou strive thou soon shalt see	F
Defeat itself is victory	F
	-
So be it yet O Good and Great	F
In whom in this bedarkened state	F
I fain am struggling to believe	A
Let me not ever cease to grieve	A
Nor lose the consciousness of ill	H
Within me and refusing still	H
To recognise in things around	F
What cannot truly there be found	F
Let me not feel nor be it true	A
That while each daily task I do	A
I still am giving day by day	M
My precious things within away	M
Those thou didst give to keep as thine	O2
And casting do whate'er I may	M
My heavenly pearls to earthly swine	O2
