Importunate the lion throated sea	A
Blind with the mounting foam of winter mourns	B
To cliffs where cling the wrenched and laboured roots	C
Of cypresses and blossoms granite grown	D
Lose in the gale their tattered petals cast	E
On bleak tumultuous cauldrons of the tide	F
Where fell thy molten ashes Past the bay	G
The morning dunes a dust of marble seem	H
Wrought from primeval fanes to Beauty reared	I
And shattered by some vandal Titan's mace	J
To more than time's own ruin Woods of Pine	K
Above the dunes in Gothic gloom recede	L
And climb the ridge that arches to the north	M
Long as a lolling dragon's chine The gulls	N
Like ashen leaves far off upon the wind	O
Flutter above the broad and smouldering sea	A
That lightens with the fire white foam But thou	P
For whom the sea is urn and sepulchre	Q
Who hast thereof a blown tumultuous sleep	R
And stormy peace in gulfs implacable	S
What carest thou if Beauty loiter there	Q
Clad with the crystal noon What carest thou	P
If sharp and sudden balsams of the pine	K
Mingle for her in the air's bright thurible	S
With keener fragrance proffered by the deep	R
From riven gulfs resounding Knowest thou	P
What solemn shores of crocus coloured light	T
Reared by the sunset in its realm of change	U
Will mock the dream lost isles that sirens ward	V
And charm the icy emerald of the seas	W
To unabiding iris Knowest thou	P
The waxing of the wan December foam	X
A thunder cloven veil that climbs and falls	Y
Upon the cliffs forevermore	Q
	-
Thou art still	S
As they that sleep in the eldest pyramid	Z
Or mounded with Mesopotamia	A2
And immemorial deserts Thou art one	B2
With the wordless dumb conspiracy of death	C2
Silence wherein the warrior kings accord	V
And all the wrangling sages If thy voice	D2
In any wise return and word of thee	A
It is a lost incognizable sigh	E2
t of the wind's oblivious woe or blown	D
Antiphonal from wave to plangent wave	F2
In the vast unhuman sorrow of the main	G2
On tides that lave the city laden shores	H2
Of lands wherein the eternal vanities	W
Are served at many altars tides that wash	I2
Lemuria's unfathomable walls	Y
And idly sway the weed involved oars	H2
wharves of old Atlantis tides that rise	J2
From coral coffered bones of all the drowned	K2
And sunless tombs of pearl that krakens guard	L2
	-
As none shall roam the sad Leucadian rock	M2
Above the sea's immitigable moan	D
But in his heart a song that Sappho sang	N2
And flame soft murmer of the muted lyres	J2
That time hath not extinguished and the cry	E2
Of nightingales two thousand years ago	O2
Shall mix with those remorseful chords that break	P2
To endless foam and thunder and he learn	Q2
The unsleeping woe that lives in Mytelene	Q2
Till wave and deep are dumb with ice and rime	A2
Hath paled the rose forever even thus	J2
Daughter of Sappho sad and passion souled	L2
Whose face the lutes of Lesbos would have sung	R2
And white Erinna followed even thus	J2
The western wave is eloquent of thee	A
And half the wine like fragrance of the foam	A2
Is attar of they spirit and the pines	J2
From breasts of secret melancholy green	Q2
Release remembered echoes of thy song	S2
To airs importunate No wraith of fog	T2
Twice ghostly with the Hecatean moon	Q2
Nor rack of blown fantasmal spume shall rise	J2
But I will dream thy spirit walks the sea	A
Unpacified with Lethe Thou art grown	Q2
A part of all sad beauty and my soul	S
Hath found thy buried sorrow in its own	Q2
Inseparable forever Moons that pass	J2
Immaculate to solemn pyres of snow	Q2
And meres whereon the broken lotus dies	J2
Are kin to thee as wine lipped autumn is	J2
With suns of swift irreparable change	U
And lucid evenings eager starred Of thee	A
The pearled fountains tell and winds that take	P2
In one white swirl the petals of the plum	A2
And leave the branches lonely Royal blooms	J2
Of the magnolia pale as Beauty's brow	Q
And foam white myrtles and the fiery bright	L2
Pomegranate flowers will softly speak of thee	A
While spring hath speech and meaning Music hath	U2
Her fugitive and uncommanded chords	J2
That thrill with tremors of thy mystery	A
Or turn the void thy fleeing soul hath left	L2
To murmurs inenarrable that hold	L2
Epiphanies of blind conceiveless vision	Q2
And things we dare not know and dare not dream	A2
