Proem	A
	-
Many speak wisely some inerrably	B
Witness the beast who talk'd that should have bray'd	C
And Caiaphas that said	C
Expedient 'twas for all that One should die	C
But what avails	D
When Love's right accent from their wisdom fails	D
And the Truth criers know not what they cry	C
Say wherefore thou	E
As under bondage of some bitter vow	E
Warblest no word	C
When all the rest are shouting to be heard	C
Why leave the fervid running just when Fame	A
'Gan whispering of thy name	A
Amongst the hard pleased Judges of the Course	D
Parch'd is thy crystal flowing source	D
Pierce then with thought's steel probe the trodden ground	C
Till passion's buried floods be found	C
Intend thine eye	C
Into the dim and undiscover'd sky	C
Whose lustres are the pulsings of the heart	C
And promptly as thy trade is watch to chart	C
The lonely suns the mystic hazes and throng'd sparkles bright	C
That named and number'd right	C
In sweet transpicuous words shall glow alway	F
With Love's three stranded ray	G
Red wrath compassion golden lazuline delight	C
	-
Thus in reproof of my despondency	D
My Mentor and thus I	C
	-
O season strange for song	H
And yet some timely power persuades my lips	D
Is't England's parting soul that nerves my tongue	I
As other Kingdoms nearing their eclipse	D
Have in their latest bards uplifted strong	H
The voice that was their voice in earlier days	D
Is it her sudden loud and piercing cry	C
The note which those that seem too weak to sigh	C
Will sometimes utter just before they die	C
	-
Lo weary of the greatness of her ways	D
There lies my Land with hasty pulse and hard	C
Her ancient beauty marr'd	C
And in her cold and aimless roving sight	C
Horror of light	C
Sole vigour left in her last lethargy	D
Save when at bidding of some dreadful breath	J
The rising death	J
Rolls up with force	D
And then the furiously gibbering corse	D
Shakes panglessly convuls'd and sightless stares	D
Whilst one Physician pours in rousing wines	D
One anodynes	D
And one declares	D
That nothing ails it but the pains of growth	K
	-
My last look loth	L
Is taken and I turn with the relief	M
Of knowing that my life long hope and grief	M
Are surely vain	N
To that unshapen time to come when She	D
A dim heroic Nation long since dead	C
The foulness of her agony forgot	C
Shall all benignly shed	C
Through ages vast	C
The ghostly grace of her transfigured past	C
Over the present harass'd and forlorn	O
Of nations yet unborn	O
And this shall be the lot	C
Of those who in the bird voice and the blast	C
Of her omniloquent tongue	I
Have truly sung	I
Or greatly said	C
To shew as one	P
With those who have best done	P
And be as rays	D
Thro' the still altering world around her changeless head	C
	-
Therefore no 'plaint be mine	Q
Of listeners none	P
No hope of render'd use or proud reward	C
In hasty times and hard	C
But chants as of a lonely thrush's throat	C
At latest eve	R
That does in each calm note	C
Both joy and grieve	R
Notes few and strong and fine	Q
Gilt with sweet day's decline	Q
And sad with promise of a different sun	P
	-
'Mid the loud concert harsh	S
Of this fog folded marsh	S
To me else dumb	A
Uranian Clearness come	A
Give me to breathe in peace and in surprise	D
The light thrill'd ether of your rarest skies	D
Till inmost absolution start	C
The welling in the grateful eyes	D
The heaving in the heart	C
Winnow with sighs	D
And wash away	G
With tears the dust and stain of clay	G
Till all the Song be Thine as beautiful as Morn	O
Bedeck'd with shining clouds of scorn	O
And Thou Inspirer deign to brood	C
O'er the delighted words and call them Very Good	C
This grant Clear Spirit and grant that I remain	N
Content to ask unlikely gifts in vain	N
