Once when the sun burst flew	A
its banner above broad seas and eastern hills	B
my casement knew	A
that morning in her wondrous isle of youth distils	B
perpetual balm and tidings trumpeted	C
of Eden air	D
winsome and quick round many a wilding grace unwed	E
clad only in glad hair	D
bade fancy soar	F
far and aloft along that limitless ecstasy	B
of crystal towards some shore	F
where life were crown'd amidst a halcyon sea	B
Now desolate despairful lamentable retreat	G
wreck'd wheels and spars	B
streaming from irresistible defeat	G
the broken field of stars	B
and all our hope they bore the appointed word	H
and that unbroken song	I
that should resolve our suffering dark in peace deferr'd	H
how long	I
	-
The window is wide and lo beyond its bars	B
dim fields of fading stars	B
and cavern tracts whence the great store of tears	B
that Beauty all the years	B
hath wept in wanderings of the eyeless dark	J
remembering the long cark	J
whereunder we her care are silent bow'd	K
invades with numbing shroud	K
this dwindling realm of listless avatars	B
Dim fields of fading stars	B
and shall yet ye with amaranth rapture burn	L
and maiden grace return	L
sprung soft and sudden on the fainting night	M
rose passioning to white	M
or must our task remain and hopeless art	N
that sickeneth the heart	N
from yon dull embers to evoke the ghost	O
of the first garden lost	P
sad necromancers we Then let the blast	Q
that waked you ancient cast	Q
into the deeps your useless lagging dearth	R
O blazon'd shame of Earth	R
who then might hail the last oblivion	S
knowing you doomward blown	T
before the advance of night's relentless cars	B
dim fields of fading stars	B
	-
	-
'O white wind numbing the world'	Q
	-
	-
O WHITE wind numbing the world	Q
to a mask of suffering hate	Q
and thy goblin pipes have skirl d	Q
all night at my broken gate	Q
	-
O heart be hidden and kept	Q
in a half light colour d and warm	U
and call on thy dreams that have slept	Q
to charm thee from hate and harm	V
	-
They are gone for I might not keep	W
my sense is beaten and dinn d	Q
there is no peace but a grey sleep	W
in the pause of the wind	Q
