A flying word from here and there	A
Had sown the name at which we sneered	B
But soon the name was everywhere	A
To be reviled and then revered	B
A presence to be loved and feared	B
We cannot hide it or deny	C
That we the gentlemen who jeered	B
May be forgotten by and by	C
	-
He came when days were perilous	D
And hearts of men were sore beguiled	E
And having made his note of us	D
He pondered and was reconciled	E
Was ever master yet so mild	E
As he and so untamable	F
We doubted even when he smiled	E
Not knowing what he knew so well	F
	-
He knew that undeceiving fate	G
Would shame us whom he served unsought	G
He knew that he must wince and wait	G
The jest of those for whom he fought	G
He knew devoutly what he thought	G
Of us and of our ridicule	F
He knew that we must all be taught	G
Like little children in a school	F
	-
We gave a glamour to the task	H
That he encountered and saw through	I
But little of us did he ask	H
And little did we ever do	I
And what appears if we review	I
The season when we railed and chaffed	I
It is the face of one who knew	I
That we were learning while we laughed	I
	-
The face that in our vision feels	J
Again the venom that we flung	K
Transfigured to the world reveals	J
The vigilance to which we clung	K
Shrewd hallowed harassed and among	K
The mysteries that are untold	I
The face we see was never young	K
Nor could it wholly have been old	I
	-
For he to whom we had applied	I
Our shopman's test of age and worth	L
Was elemental when he died	I
As he was ancient at his birth	L
The saddest among kings of earth	L
Bowed with a galling crown this man	M
Met rancor with a cryptic mirth	L
Laconic and Olympian	N
	-
The love the grandeur and the fame	O
Are bounded by the world alone	P
The calm the smouldering and the flame	O
Of awful patience were his own	P
With him they are forever flown	P
Past all our fond self shadowings	J
Wherewith we cumber the Unknown	P
As with inept Icarian wings	J
	-
For we were not as other men	Q
'Twas ours to soar and his to see	J
But we are coming down again	Q
And we shall come down pleasantly	J
Nor shall we longer disagree	J
On what it is to be sublime	R
But flourish in our perigee	S
And have one Titan at a time	R
