WILD winged thing O brought I know not whence	A
To beat your life out in my life's low cage	B
You strange familiar nearer than my flesh	C
Yet distant as a star that were at first	D
A child with me a child yet elfin far	E
And visibly of some unearthly breed	F
Mirthfullest mate of all my mortal games	G
Yet shedding on them some evasive gleam	H
Of Latmian loneliness O seven then	I
Expert to lift the latch of our low door	J
And profit by the hours when dusked about	K
By human misintelligence our first	D
Weak fledgling flights were safeliest essayed	D
Divine accomplice of those perilous sweet	D
Low moth flights of the unadventured soul	L
Above the world's dim garden now we sit	D
After what stretch of years what stretch of wings	M
In the same cage together still as near	N
And still as strange	O
Only I know at last	D
That we are fellows till the last night falls	P
And that I shall not miss your comrade hands	Q
Till they have closed my lids and by them set	D
A taper that who knows may yet shine through	R
	-
Sister my comrade I have ached for you	R
Sometimes to see you curb your pace to mine	S
And bow your Maenad crest to the dull forms	T
Of human usage I have loosed your hand	D
And whispered 'Go Since I am tethered here '	-
And you have turned and breathing for reply	U
'I too am pinioned as you too are free '	-
Have caught me to such undreamed distances	V
As the last planets see when they look forth	W
	-
To the sentinel pacings of the outmost stars	X
Nor these alone	Y
Comrade my sister were your gifts More oft	D
Has your impalpable wing brush bared for me	Z
The heart of wonder in familiar things	M
Unroofed dull rooms and hung above my head	D
The cloudy glimpses of a vernal moon	A2
Or all the autumn heaven ripe with stars	X
	-
And you have made a secret pact with Sleep	B2
And when she comes not or her feet delay	C2
Toiled in low meadows of gray asphodel	C2
Under a pale sky where no shadows fall	C2
Then hooded like her to my side you steal	C2
And the night grows like a great rumouring sea	Z
And you a boat and I your passenger	D2
And the tide lifts us with an indrawn breath	E2
Out out upon the murmurs and the scents	F2
Through spray of splintered star beams or white rage	B
Of desperate moon drawn waters on and on	G2
To some blue ocean immarcescible	C2
That ever like a slow swung mirror rocks	H2
The balanced breasts of sea birds motionless	I2
	-
Yet other nights my sister you have been	J2
The storm and I the leaf that fled on it	D
Terrifically down voids that never knew	R
The pity of creation or have felt	D
The immitigable anguish of a soul	C2
Left last in a long ruined world alone	Y
And then your touch has drawn me back to earth	K2
As in the night upon an unknown road	D
A scent of lilac breathing from the hedge	L2
Bespeaks the hidden farm the bedded cows	M2
And safety and the sense of human kind	D
	-
And I have climbed with you by hidden ways	N2
To meet the dews of morning and have seen	O2
The shy gods like retreating shadows fade	D
Or on the thymy reaches have surprised	D
Old Chiron sleeping and have waked him not	D
	-
Yet farther have I fared with you and known	Y
Love and his sacred tremors and the rites	P2
Of his most inward temple and beyond	D
His temple lights have seen the long gray waste	D
Where lonely thoughts like creatures of the night	D
Listen and wander where a city stood	D
And creeping down by waterless defiles	P2
Under an iron midnight have I kept	D
My vigil in the waste till dawn began	Q2
To move among the ruins and I saw	P2
A sapling rooted in a fissured plinth	R2
And a wren's nest in the thunder threatening hand	D
Of some old god of granite in the dust	D
