Dawn cool dew cool	A
Gleams the surface of my pool	A
Bird haunted fern enchanted	B
Where but tempered spirits rule	A
Stars do not trace their mystic lines	C
In my confines	C
I take a double night within my breast	D
A night of darkened heavens a night of leaves	E
And in the two fold dark I hear the owl	F
Puff at his velvet horn	G
And the wolves howl	F
Even daylight comes with a touch of gold	H
Not overbold	H
And shows dwarf cornel and the twin flowers	I
Below the balsam bowers	I
Their tints enamelled in my dew drop shield	H
Too small even for a thirsty fawn	J
To quench upon	K
I hold my crystal at one level	L
There where you see the liquid bevel	L
Break in silver and go free	M
Singing to its destiny	M
	-
Give Poet give	N
Thus only shalt thou live	O
Give for 'tis thy joyous doom	P
To charm to comfort to illume	P
	-
Speak to the maiden and the child	H
With accents deep and mild	H
Tell them of the world so wide	H
In words of wonder and pure pride	H
Touched with the rapture of surprise	Q
That dwells in a child angel's eyes	Q
Awed with the strangeness of new birth	R
When the flaming seraph sent	H
To lead him into Paradise	S
Calls his name with the mother's voice	T
He has just ceased to hear on earth	R
	-
Give to the youth his heart's content	H
But power with prudence blent	H
Thicken his sinews with love	U
With courage his heart prove	V
Till over his spirit shall roll	W
The vast wave of control	W
In the cages and dens of strife	X
Where men draw breath	Y
Thick with a curse at the dear thing called life	X
Give them courage to bear	Z
Strength to aspire and dare	Z
Give them hopes rooted in stone	A2
That the loveliest flowers take on	K
Bind on their brows with a gesture free	M
The palm green bays of liberty	M
	-
Give to the mothers of men	B2
The knowledge of joy in pain	C2
Give them the sense of reward	H
That grew in the breast of the Lord	H
On the dawn of the seventh morn	G
For 'tis they who re create the world	H
Whenever a child is born	G
	-
Give Poet give	N
Give them songs that charm and fill	D2
The soul with an alluring pleasure	E2
Prelusive to a deeper thrill	D2
A richer tone a fuller measure	E2
Like voices veiled with hidden treasure	E2
Of angels on a windy morning	F2
That first far off then all together	E2
Come with a glorious clarion calling	F2
And when they swoon beneath the spell	G2
Recapture them to hear the echoes	H2
Falling falling falling	F2
	-
To those stoned for the truth	I2
Give ruth	I2
Give manna for the mourner's mouth	J2
Sovereign as air	Z
For his heart's drouth	J2
A prayer	Z
	-
Give to dead souls that mock at life	X
Aweary of their cankered hearts	K2
Weary of sleep and weary of strife	X
Weary of markets and of arts	K2
Helve them a song of life	X
Two edged with joyous life	X
Tempered trusty with life	X
Proud pointed with wild life	X
Plunge it as lightning plunges	L2
Stab them to life	X
	-
Give to those who grieve in secret	H
Those who bear the sorrows of earth	J2
The deep unappeasable longings	M2
Which beset them with throngings and throngings	M2
As on a windless night	H
Through the fold of a dark mantle furled	H
Gleams on our world world after unknown world	H
Give them peace	M2
Wide as the veil that hides God's face	M2
The pure plenitude of space	M2
In which our universe is but a glittering crease	M2
Give them such peace	M2
	-
Give Poet give	N
Thus only shalt thou live	O
Give as we give who are hidden	N2
In myriad dimples of rock and fern	O2
Give as we give unbidden	O2
To tarn and rillet and burn	O2
Where the lake dreams	M2
Where the fall is hurled	H
Striving to sweeten	O2
The oceans of the world	H
	-
Should my song for a moment cease	M2
Silence fall in the woodland peace	M2
Should I wilfully check the flow	P2
Bubbling and dancing up from below	P2
Say to my heart be still be still	D2
Let the murmur die with the rill	D2
Then should the glittering grey sea things	M2
Sigh as they wallow the under springs	M2
Where the deep brine pools used to lie	Q2
Deserts vast would stare at the sky	Q2
And even thy rich heart	H
O Poet Poet	H
Even thy rich heart run dry	Q2
