The Hours passed by a fleet confused crowd	A
With wafture of blown garments bright as fire	B
Light light of foot and laughing morning browed	A
And where they trod the jonquil and the briar	B
Thrilled into jocund life the dreaming dells	C
Waked to a morrice chime of jostled bells	C
They danced they danced to piping such as	C
flings	C
The garnered music of a million Springs	C
Into one single keener ecstasy	C
One paused and shouted to my questionings	C
Lo I am Youth I bid thee follow me	C
	-
The Hours passed by they paced great lords and	D
proud	A
Crowned on with sunlight robed in rich attire	B
Before their conquering word the brute deed	E
bowed	A
And Ariel fancies served their large desire	B
	-
They spake and roused the mused soul that dwells	C
In dust or smiling shaped new heavens and	D
hells	C
Dethroned old gods and made blind beggars kings	C
And what art thou I cried to one that brings	C
His mistress for a brooch the Galaxy	C
I am the plumed Thought that soars and sings	C
Lo I am Song I bid thee follow me	C
	-
The Hours passed by with veiled eyes endowed	A
Of dream and parted lips that scarce suspire	B
To breathing dusk and arrowy moonlight vowed	A
South wind and shadowy grove and murmuring	F
lyre	B
Swaying they moved as drows'd of wizard spells	C
Or tranc'd with sight of recent miracles	C
And yet they trembled down their folded wings	C
Quivered the hint of sweet withholden things	C
Ah bitter sweet in their intensity	C
One paused and said unto my wonderings	C
Lo I am Love I bid thee follow me	C
	-
The Hours passed by through huddled cities loud	A
With witless hate and stale with stinking mire	B
	-
So cowled monks might march with bier and shroud	A
Down streets plague spotted toward some cleans	C
ing pyre	B
Yet lo strange lilies bloomed in lightless cells	C
And passionate spirits burst their clayey shells	C
And sang the stricken hope that bleeds and	D
clings	C
Earth's bruised heart beat in the throbbing strings	C
And joy still struggled through the threnody	D
One stern Hour said unto my marvelings	C
Lo I am Life I bid thee follow me	C
	-
The Hours passed by the stumbling hours and	D
cowed	D
Uncertain prone to tears and childish ire	B
The wavering hours that drift like any cloud	D
At whim of winds or fortunate or dire	B
The feeble shapes that any chance expells	C
Their wisdom useless lacking the blood that swells	C
The tensed vein the hot swift tide that stings	C
With life Ah wise but naked to the slings	C
Of fate and plagued of youthful memory	C
A cracked voice broke upon my pityings	C
Lo I am Age I bid thee follow me	C
	-
Ah Youth we dallied by the babbling wells	C
Where April all her lyric secret tells	C
Ah Song we sped our bold imaginings	C
As far as yon red planet's triple rings	C
O Life O Love I followed followed thee	C
There waits one word to end my journeyings	C
Lo I am Death I bid thee follow me	C
