The forest ended Glad I was	A
To feel the light and hear the hum	B
Of bees and smell the drying grass	C
And the sweet mint because I had come	B
To an end of forest and because	D
Here was both road and inn the sum	B
Of what's not forest But 'twas here	E
They asked me if I did not pass	C
Yesterday this way 'Not you Queer '	F
'Who then and slept here ' I felt fear	G
	-
I learnt his road and ere they were	H
Sure I was I left the dark wood	I
Behind kestrel and woodpecker	H
The inn in the sun the happy mood	J
When first I tasted sunlight there	K
I travelled fast in hopes I should	I
Outrun that other What to do	L
When caught I planned not I pursued	J
To prove the likeness and if true	L
To watch until myself I knew	L
	-
I tried the inns that evening	M
Of a long gabled high street grey	N
Of courts and outskirts travelling	M
And eager but a weary way	N
In vain He was not there Nothing	M
Told me that ever till that day	N
Had one like me entered those doors	O
Save once That time I dared 'You may	N
Recall' but never foamless shores	O
Make better friends than those dull boors	P
	-
Many and many a day like this	Q
Aimed at the unseen moving goal	R
And nothing found but remedies	S
For all desire These made not whole	R
They sowed a new desire a kiss	Q
Desire's self beyond control	R
Desire of desire And yet	T
Life stayed on within my soul	R
One night in sheltering from the wet	T
I quite forgot I could forget	T
	-
A customer then the landlady	U
Stared at me With a kind of smile	V
They hesitated awkwardly	U
Their silence gave me time for guile	V
Had anyone called there like me	U
I asked It was quite plain the wile	V
Succeeded For they poured out all	W
And that was naught Less than a mile	V
Beyond the inn I could recall	W
He was like me in general	X
	-
He had pleased them but I less	Y
I was more eager than before	Z
To find him out and to confess	Y
To bore him and to let him bore	Z
I could not wait children might guess	Y
I had a purpose something more	Z
That made an answer indiscreet	A2
One girl's caution made me sore	Z
Too indignant even to greet	A2
That other had we chanced to meet	A2
	-
I sought then in solitude	J
The wind had fallen with the night as still	B2
The roads lay as the ploughland rude	J
Dark and naked on the hill	B2
Had there been ever any feud	J
'Twixt earth and sky a mighty will	B2
Closed it the crocketed dark trees	S
A dark house dark impossible	X
Cloud towers one star one lamp one peace	C2
Held on an everlasting lease	C2
	-
And all was earth's or all was sky's	D2
No difference endured between	E2
The two A dog barked on a hidden rise	D2
A marshbird whistled high unseen	E2
The latest waking blackbird's cries	D2
Perished upon the silence keen	E2
The last light filled a narrow firth	F2
Among the clouds I stood serene	E2
And with a solemn quiet mirth	F2
An old inhabitant of earth	F2
	-
Once the name I gave to hours	G2
Like this was melancholy when	H2
It was not happiness and powers	G2
Coming like exiles home again	H2
And weaknesses quitting their bowers	G2
Smiled and enjoyed far off from men	H2
Moments of everlastingness	G2
And fortunate my search was then	H2
While what I sought nevertheless	G2
That I was seeking I did not guess	G2
	-
That time was brief once more at inn	I2
And upon road I sought my man	J2
Till once amid a tap room's din	I2
Loudly he asked for me began	J2
To speak as if it had been a sin	I2
Of how I thought and dreamed and ran	J2
After him thus day after day	N
He lived as one under a ban	J2
For this what had I got to say	N
I said nothing I slipped away	N
	-
And now I dare not follow after	H
Too close I try to keep in sight	K2
Dreading his frown and worse his laughter	H
I steal out of the wood to light	K2
I see the swift shoot from the rafter	H
By the inn door ere I alight	K2
I wait and hear the starlings wheeze	G2
And nibble like ducks I wait his flight	K2
He goes I follow no release	G2
Until he ceases Then I also shall cease	G2
