Pale plummet of the stark immensities	A
From perished heavens cast I fall and flare	B
Through gulfs by stellar orbits girdled round	C
And spaces bare	B
Of sparkless night between the galaxies	A
By path of sun nor circling planet bound	C
No star allots my lone and cyclic gyre	B
I mark the systems vanish one by one	D
Among the swarming worlds I lunge	E
And sudden plunge	E
Close to the zones of solar fire	B
Or ' mid the mighty wrack of stars undone	D
Flash and with momentary rays	A
Compel the dark to yield	F
Their aimless forms whose once far potent blaze	A
In ashes chill is now inurned	F
Upon the shadowy heavens half revealed	F
I show their planets turned	F
Whose strange ephemerae	B
On adamantine tablets deeply written	D
In cities long unlitten	D
Have left their history	B
And lore beyond redemption or surmise	A
Adown contiguous skies	A
I pass the thickening brume	G
Of systems yet unshaped that hang immense	A
Along mysterious shores of gloom	G
Or see unimplicated in their doom	G
The final and disastrous gyre	B
Of blinded suns that meet	F
And from their mingled heat	F
And battle clouds intense	A
Overspread the deep with fire	B
	-
Upon the Lion's track	H
Or far beyond the abysms of the Lyre	B
I thread through mazes of the zodiac	H
Mine orbit placed amid	F
The multiple and irised stars or hid	F
Unsolved and intricate	F
In many a planet swinging sun's estate	F
At times I steal in solitary flight	F
Along the rim of the exterior night	F
That rounds the universe	A
And then return	D
Past outer footholds of sidereal light	F
To see the systems gather and disperse	A
And learn	D
What vast and multifarious marvels wait	F
In the dim void that has no ultimate	F
What wraiths of suns extinguished long ago	I
On alien welkins burn	D
What flaming blossoms grow	I
From the black battlefields of cosmic wars	A
What stellar hells or ampler spheres sublime	G
Enisled in diverse time	G
Are wrought from sharded moons and meteors	A
And haply I discern	D
What paler fires to mine own self akin	D
Still haunt the night's eternal corridors	A
Or in the toils of great Arcturus spin	D
Then restless still I rise	A
Through vaults of mightier gloom to watch the dark	J
Snatch at the flame of failing suns	A
Or mark	J
That midden of the stagnant nadir skies	A
Where many a fated orbit runs	A
An arrow sped from some forgotten bow	K
Through change of firmaments and systems sent	F
And finding bourn nor bars	A
I fly nor know	I
For what remoter mark my flight is meant	F
