| But Him who linked thee to the starry whole | B |
| Wherefore in this our darkness be it ours | C |
| To must upon thee in thy high career | D |
| As of some wandering symphony from amidst | E |
| Those highest stellar harmonies that track | F |
| Through infinite space and the great rounds of time | G |
| The mighty marches of creation | H |
| Behold how high thou travellest in heaven | H |
| Myriads of wondering human spirits here | I |
| Duly each night with upturned looks seek out | J |
| The mystery of thy advent | K |
| In thy last | L |
| Bright visitation even thus thou saw st | M |
| The young the lovely and the wise of earth | N |
| A buried generation crowding out | J |
| With looks upturned to see thee passing forth | O |
| Beyond the signs of time and then to know | P |
| In all the awful vastness of the heaven | H |
| Thy place no more And when the flaming steps | Q |
| Of thy unspeakable speed which of itself | R |
| Blows back the long strands of thy burning hair | S |
| Through half the arch of night shall lead thee forth | O |
| Into the dim of the inane beyond | T |
| Our utmost vision all the eloquent eyes | U |
| Now opened wide with welcome and with wonder | V |
| Eyes tender as the turtle s or that speak | W |
| The fervent soul and the majestic mind | X |
| All these alas all these ere thou once more | Y |
| Shalt drive thus fulgently around the sun | H |
| Thy chariot of fire fast closed in dust | Z |
| And mortal darkness shall have given for aye | A2 |
| Their lustre to the grave | B2 |
| - | |
| But human eyes | U |
| As many and beautiful yea more sublime | G |
| And radiant in their passion from a more | Y |
| Enlarged communion with the spirit of truth | C2 |
| Shall welcome thee instead mysterious stranger | V |
| When thou return st anew | D2 |
| - | |
| And thus to think | E2 |
| Consoles us even while we watch thee pass | F2 |
| Out of our times for ever yea although | P |
| Some selfish entertainment of a truth | C2 |
| At all times mournful whisper us the while | G2 |
| So shall it be indeed for God abides | H2 |
| And nature born of His eternal power | V |
| Must share its dateless energy as well | A |
| Yea all that flows from the Eternal must | Z |
| If from divine necessity alone | I2 |
| Work with its cause for ever still alas | F2 |
| Though thence derived how fugitive and swift | J2 |
| How vague and shadow like this life of Man | K2 |
