O many gulfed unalterable one	A
Whose deep sustains	B
Far drifting world and sun	A
Thou wast ere ever star put out on thee	C
And thou shalt be	C
When never world remains	B
When all the suns' triumphant strength and pride	D
Is sunk in voidness absolute	E
And their majestic music wide	D
In vaster silence rendered mute	E
And though God's will were night to dusk the blue	F
And law to cancel and disperse	G
The tangled tissues of the universe	G
His might were impotent to conquer thee	C
O indivisible infinity	C
Thy darks subdue	F
All light that treads thee down a space	H
Exulting over thine archetypal deeps	H
The cycles die and lo thy darkness reaps	H
The flame of mightiest stars	H
In aeon implicating wars	H
Thou tearest planets from their place	H
Worlds granite spined	F
To thine erodents yield	F
Their treasures centrally confined	F
In crypts by continental pillars sealed	F
What suns and worlds have been thy prey	I
Through unhorizoned reaches of the past	F
What spheres that now essay	I
Time's undimensioned vast	F
Shall plunge forgotten to thy gloom at length	J
With life that cried its query of the Night	F
To ears with silence filled	F
What worlds unborn shall dare thy strength	J
Girt by a sun's unwearied might	F
And dip to darkness when the sun is stilled	F
	-
O incontestable Abyss	H
What light in thine embrace of darkness sleeps	H
What blaze of a sidereal multitude	F
No peopled world is left to miss	H
What motion is at rest within thy deeps	H
What gyres of planets long become thy food	F
Worlds unconstrainable	F
That plunged therein to peace	H
Like tempest worn and crew forsaken ships	H
And suns that fell	F
To huge and ultimate eclipse	H
And from the eternal stances found release	H
What sound thy gulfs of silence hold	F
Stupendous thunder of the meeting stars	H
And crash of orbits that diverged	F
With Life's thin song are merged	F
Thy quietudes enfold	F
Paean and threnody as one	A
And battle blare of unremembered wars	H
With festal songs	H
Sung in the Romes of ruined spheres	H
And music that belongs	H
To undiscoverable younger years	H
With words of yesterday	I
Ah who may stay	I
Thy soundless world devouring tide	F
O thou whose hands pluck out the light of stars	H
Are worlds but as a destined fruit for thee	C
May no sufficient bars	H
Nor marks inveterate abide	F
As shores to baffle thine unbillowing sea	C
Still and unstriving now	K
What plottest thou	K
Within thy universe ulterior deeps	C
Dark as the final lull of suns	C
What new advancement of the night	F
On citadels of stars around whose might	F
Thy slow encroachment runs	C
And crouching silence thunder potent sleeps	C
