Master of the murmuring courts	A
Where the shapes of sleep convene	B
Lo my spirit here exhorts	A
All the powers of thy demesne	B
For their aid to woo my queen	B
What reports	A
Yield thy jealous courts unseen	B
	-
Vaporous unaccountable	C
Dreamland lies forlorn of light	D
Hollow like a breathing shell	E
Ah that from all dreams I might	D
Choose one dream and guide its flight	D
I know well	E
What her sleep should tell to night	D
	-
There the dreams are multitudes	F
Some that will not wait for sleep	G
Deep within the August woods	H
Some that hum while rest may steep	G
Weary labour laid a heap	G
Interludes	F
Some of grievous moods that weep	G
	-
Poets' fancies all are there	I
There the elf girls flood with wings	J
Valleys full of plaintive air	I
There breathe perfumes there in rings	J
Whirl the foam bewildered springs	J
Siren there	I
Winds her dizzy hair and sings	J
	-
Thence the one dream mutually	K
Dreamed in bridal unison	B
Less than waking ecstasy	K
Half formed visions that make moan	B
In the house of birth alone	B
And what we	K
At death's wicket see unknown	B
	-
But for mine own sleep it lies	L
In one gracious form's control	M
Fair with honourable eyes	L
Lamps of a translucent soul	M
O their glance is loftiest dole	M
Sweet and wise	L
Wherein Love descries his goal	M
	-
Reft of her my dreams are all	N
Clammy trance that fears the sky	O
Changing footpaths shift and fall	N
From polluted coverts nigh	O
Miserable phantoms sigh	O
Quakes the pall	P
And the funeral goes by	O
	-
Master is it soothly said	Q
That as echoes of man's speech	R
Far in secret clefts are made	S
So do all men's bodies reach	R
Shadows o'er thy sunken beach	R
Shape or shade	S
In those halls pourtrayed of each	R
	-
Ah might I by thy good grace	T
Groping in the windy stair	I
Darkness and the breath of space	T
Like loud waters everywhere	I
Meeting mine own image there	I
Face to face	T
Send it from that place to her	U
	-
Nay not I but oh do thou	V
Master from thy shadowkind	S
Call my body's phantom now	V
Bid it bear its face declin'd	S
Till its flight her slumbers find	S
And her brow	V
Feel its presence bow like wind	S
	-
Where in groves the gracile Spring	W
Trembles with mute orison	V
Confidently strengthening	W
Water's voice and wind's as one	V
Shed an echo in the sun	V
Soft as Spring	W
Master bid it sing and moan	V
	-
Song shall tell how glad and strong	X
Is the night she soothes alway	K
Moan shall grieve with that parched tongue	Y
Of the brazen hours of day	S
Sounds as of the springtide they	S
Moan and song	X
While the chill months long for May	S
	-
Not the prayers which with all leave	Z
The world's fluent woes prefer	U
Not the praise the world doth give	A2
Dulcet fulsome whisperer	U
Let it yield my love to her	U
And achieve	Z
Strength that shall not grieve or err	U
	-
Wheresoe'er my dreams befall	N
Both at night watch let it say	S
And where round the sundial	B2
The reluctant hours of day	S
Heartless hopeless of their way	S
Rest and call	N
There her glance doth fall and stay	S
	-
Suddenly her face is there	U
So do mounting vapours wreathe	S
Subtle scented transports where	U
The black firwood sets its teeth	S
Part the boughs and look beneath	S
Lilies share	U
Secret waters there and breathe	S
	-
Master bid my shadow bend	S
Whispering thus till birth of light	S
Lest new shapes that sleep may send	S
Scatter all its work to flight	S
Master master of the night	S
Bid it spend	S
Speech song prayer and end aright	S
	-
Yet ah me if at her head	S
There another phantom lean	V
Murmuring o'er the fragrant bed	S
Ah and if my spirit's queen	V
Smile those alien prayers between	V
Ah poor shade	S
Shall it strive or fade unseen	V
	-
How should love's own messenger	U
Strive with love and be love's foe	C2
Master nay If thus in her	U
Sleep a wedded heart should show	C2
Silent let mine image go	C2
Its old share	U
Of thy spell bound air to know	C2
	-
Like a vapour wan and mute	S
Like a flame so let it pass	D2
One low sigh across her lute	S
One dull breath against her glass	D2
And to my sad soul alas	D2
One salute	S
Cold as when Death's foot shall pass	D2
	-
Then too let all hopes of mine	V
All vain hopes by night and day	S
Slowly at thy summoning sign	V
Rise up pallid and obey	S
Dreams if this is thus were they	S
Be they thine	V
And to dreamworld pine away	S
	-
Yet from old time life not death	S
Master in thy rule is rife	E2
Lo through thee with mingling breath	S
Adam woke beside his wife	E2
O Love bring me so for strife	E2
Force and faith	S
Bring me so not death but life	E2
	-
Yea to Love himself is pour'd	S
This frail song of hope and fear	U
Thou art Love of one accord	S
With kind Sleep to bring her near	U
Still eyed deep eyed ah how dear	U
Master Lord	S
In her name implor'd O hear	U
