The mystery of Life the mystery	A
Of Death I see	A
Darkly as in a glass	B
Their shadows pass	B
And talk with me	A
	-
As the flush of a Morning Sky	C
As a Morning Sky colorless	D
Each yields its measure of light	E
To a wet world or a dry	C
Each fares through day to night	E
With equal pace	F
And then each one	G
Is done	G
	-
As the Sun with glory and grace	F
In his face	F
Benignantly hot	H
Graciously radiant and keen	I
Ready to rise and to run	G
Not without spot	H
Not even the Sun	G
	-
As the Moon	J
On the wax on the wane	K
With night for her noon	J
Vanishing soon	J
To appear again	L
	-
As Roses that droop	M
Half warm half chill in the languid May	N
And breathe out a scent	O
Sweet and faint	P
Till the wind gives one swoop	M
To scatter their beauty away	N
	-
As Lilies a multitude	Q
One dipping one rising one sinking	R
On rippling waters clear blue	S
And pure for their drinking	R
One new dead and one opened anew	S
And all good	T
	-
As a cankered pale Flower	U
With death for a dower	V
Each hour of its life half dead	W
With death for a crown	X
Weighing down	X
Its head	W
	-
As an Eagle half strength and half grace	F
Most potent to face	F
Unwinking the splendor of light	E
Harrying the East and the West	Y
Soaring aloft from our sight	E
Yet one day or one night dropped to rest	Y
On the low common earth	Z
Of his birth	Z
	-
As a Dove	A2
Not alone	B2
In a world of her own	B2
Full of fluttering soft noises	C2
And tender sweet voices	D2
Of love	A2
	-
As a Mouse	E2
Keeping house	E2
In the fork of a tree	A
With nuts in a crevice	D
And an acorn or two	S
What cares he	A
For blossoming boughs	F2
Or the song singing bevies	F2
Of birds in their glee	A
Scarlet or golden or blue	S
	-
As a Mole grubbing underground	G2
When it comes to the light	E
It grubs its way back again	L
Feeling no bias of fur	U
To hamper it in its stir	U
Scant of pleasure and pain	K
Sinking itself out of sight	E
Without sound	G2
	-
As Waters that drop and drop	H2
Weariness without end	I2
That drop and never stop	H2
Wear that nothing can mend	I2
Till one day they drop	H2
Stop	H2
And there's an end	I2
And matters mend	I2
	-
As Trees beneath whose skin	J2
We mark not the sap begin	J2
To swell and rise	F2
Till the whole bursts out in green	I
We mark the falling leaves	F2
When the wide world grieves	F2
And sighs	F2
	-
As a Forest on fire	U
Where maddened creatures desire	U
Wet mud or wings	F2
Beyond all those things	F2
Which could assuage desire	U
On this side the flaming fire	U
	-
As Wind with a sob and sigh	C
To which there comes no reply	C
But a rustle and shiver	U
From rushes of the river	U
As Wind with a desolate moan	B2
Moaning on alone	B2
	-
As a Desert all sand	K2
Blank neither water nor land	K2
For solace or dwelling or culture	U
Where the storms and the wild creatures howl	L2
Given over to lion and vulture	U
To ostrich and jackal and owl	L2
Yet somewhere an oasis lies	F2
There waters arise	F2
To nourish one seedling of balm	M2
Perhaps or one palm	M2
	-
As the Sea	A
Murmuring shifting swaying	R
One time sunnily playing	R
One time wrecking and slaying	R
In whichever mood it be	A
Worst or best	Y
Never at rest	Y
	-
As still Waters and deep	N2
As shallow Waters that brawl	O2
As rapid Waters that leap	N2
To their fall	O2
	-
As Music as Color as Shape	P2
Keys of rapture and pain	K
Turning in vain	K
In a lock which turns not again	L
While breaths and moments escape	P2
	-
As Spring all bloom and desire	U
As Summer all gift and fire	U
As Autumn a dying glow	Q2
As Winter with nought to show	Q2
	-
Winter which lays its dead all out of sight	E
All clothed in white	E
All waiting for the long awaited light	E
