Importunate the lion throated sea	A
Blind with the mounting foam of winter mourns	B
To cliffs where cling the wrenched and labored roots	C
Of cypresses and blossoms granite grown	D
Lose in the gale their tattered petals cast	E
On bleak tumultous cauldrons of the tide	F
Where fell thine ashes Past the cobalt bay	G
The morning dunes a Just 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
Of whom the sea is urn and sepulcher	Q
Who hast thereof a blown tumultuous sleep	R
And stormy peace in gulfs impacable	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 colored 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 hast part	B2
In the wordless dumb conspiracy of death	C2
Silence wherein the warrior kings accord	V
And all the wrangling seers If now thy voice	D2
In any wise return and word of thee	A
It is a lost incognizable sigh	E2
Upon 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 involv d oars	H2
Rotting amid the moles of orichalchum	A2
In deep Atlantis tides resurgent ever	Q
From coral coffered bones of all the drowned	J2
And sunless tombs of pearl that krakens guard	K2
	-

	-
As none shall roam the sad Leucadian rock	L2
Above the sea's immitigable moan	D
But in his heart a song that Sappho sang	M2
And flame like murmur of the muted lyres	H2
That time has not extinguished and the cry	E2
Of nightingales two thousand years ago	N2
Shall mix with those remorseful chords that break	O2
To endless foam and thunder and he learn	P2
The unsleeping woe that lives in Mytelene	P2
Till wave and deep arc dumb with ice and rime	A2
Has paled the rose for ever even thus	H2
Daughter of Sappho passion souled and fair	Q
Whose face the lutes of Lesbos would have sung	Q2
And white Erinna followed even thus	H2
The western wave is eloquent of thee	A
And half the wine like fragrance of the foam	A2
Is attar of thy spirit and the pines	H2
From breasts of darkling melancholy green	P2
Release remembered echoes of thy song	R2
To airs importunate No wraith of fog	S2
Twice ghostly with the Hecatean moon	P2
Nor rack of blown phantasmal spume shall rise	H2
But I will dream thy spirit walks the sea	A
Unpacifed with Lethe Thou art grown	P2
A part of alt sad beauty and my soul	S
Has found thy buried sorrow in its own	P2
Inseparable for ever Moons that pass	H2
Immaculate to solemn pyres of snow	P2
And meres whereon the broken lotus dies	H2
Are kin to thee as wine lipped autumn is	H2
With suns of swift irreparable change	U
And lucid evenings eager starred Of thee	A
The pearl d fountains tell and winds that take	O2
In one white swirl the petals of the plum	A2
And leave the branches lonely Royal blooms	H2
Of the magnolia pale as beauty's brow	Q
And foam white myrtles and the fiery bright	T
Pomegranate flowers will subtly speak of thee	A
While spring has speech and meaning Music has	H2
Her fugitive and uncommanded chords	H2
That thrill with tremors of thy mystery	A
Or turn the void thy fleeing soul has left	T2
To murmurs inenarrable that hold	U2
Epiphanies of blind conceiveless vision	P2
And things we dare not know and dare not dream	A2
