Sound the deep waters	A
Who shall sound that deep	B
Too short the plummet	C
And the watchmen sleep	B
Some dream of effort	D
Up a toilsome steep	B
Some dream of pasture grounds	E
For harmless sheep	B
	-
White shapes flit to and fro	F
From mast to mast	G
They feel the distant tempest	H
That nears them fast	G
Great rocks are straight ahead	I
Great shoals not past	G
They shout to one another	J
Upon the blast	G
	-
O soft the streams drop music	K
Between the hills	L
And musical the birds' nests	M
Beside those rills	M
The nests are types of home	N
Love hidden from ills	M
The nests are types of spirits	M
Love music fills	M
	-
So dream the sleepers	M
Each man in his place	M
The lightning shows the smile	O
Upon each face	M
The ship is driving driving	P
It drives apace	M
And sleepers smile and spirits	M
Bewail their case	M
	-
The lightning glares and reddens	M
Across the skies	M
It seems but sunset	Q
To those sleeping eyes	M
When did the sun go down	R
On such a wise	M
From such a sunset	Q
When shall day arise	M
	-
Wake call the spirits	M
But to heedless ears	M
They have forgotten sorrows	M
And hopes and fears	M
They have forgotten perils	M
And smiles and tears	M
Their dream has held them long	S
Long years and years	M
	-
Wake call the spirits again	T
But it would take	U
A louder summons	M
To bid them awake	U
Some dream of pleasure	J
For another's sake	U
Some dream forgetful	V
Of a lifelong ache	U
	-
One by one slowly	W
Ah how sad and slow	F
Wailing and praying	P
The spirits rise and go	F
Clear stainless spirits	M
White as white as snow	F
Pale spirits wailing	P
For an overthrow	F
	-
One by one flitting	P
Like a mournful bird	X
Whose song is tired at last	G
For no mate heard	X
The loving voice is silent	Y
The useless word	X
One by one flitting	P
Sick with hope deferred	X
	-
Driving and driving	P
The ship drives amain	F
While swift from mast to mast	G
Shapes flit again	F
Flit silent as the silence	M
Where men lie slain	F
Their shadow cast upon the sails	M
Is like a stain	F
	-
No voice to call the sleepers	M
No hand to raise	M
They sleep to death in dreaming	P
Of length of days	M
Vanity of vanities	M
The Preacher says	M
Vanity is the end	Z
Of all their ways	M
