I fellowed sleep who kissed me in the brainA
Let fall the tear of time the sleeper's eyeB
Shifting to light turned on me like a moonC
So planning heeled I flew along my manD
And dropped on dreaming and the upward skyB
-
I fled the earth and naked climbed the weatherE
Reaching a second ground far from the starsF
And there we wept I and a ghostly otherE
My mothers eyed upon the tops of treesG
I fled that ground as lightly as a featherE
-
'My fathers' globe knocks on its nave and sings '-
'This that we tread was too your father's land '-
'But this we tread bears the angelic gangsH
Sweet are their fathered faces in their wings '-
'These are but dreaming men Breathe and they fade '-
-
Faded my elbow ghost the mothers eyedI
As blowing on the angels I was lostJ
On that cloud coast to each grave grabbing shadeK
I blew the dreaming fellows to their bedL
Where still they sleep unknowing of their ghostM
-
Then all the matter of the living airN
Raised up a voice and climbing on the wordsO
I spelt my vision with a hand and hairN
How light the sleeping on this soily starP
How deep the waking in the worlded cloudsQ
-
There grows the hours' ladder to the sunR
Each rung a love or losing to the lastS
The inches monkeyed by the blood of manD
And old mad man still climbing in his ghostM
My fathers' ghost is climbing in the rainA
