Out of that high pavilion	A
Where the sick wind harassed sun	A
In the whiteness of the day	B
Ghostly shone and stole away	B
Parch d with the utter thirst	C
Of unnumbered Libyan sands	D
Thou cloud gathering spirit burst	C
Out of arid Africa	E
To the tideless sea and smote	C
On our pale moon cool d lands	D
The hot breath of a lion's throat	C
	-
And that furnace heated breath	F
Blew into my placid dreams	G
The heart of fire from whence it came	H
Haunt of beauty and of death	F
Where the forest breaks in flame	H
Of flaunting blossom where the flood	C
Of life pulses hot and stark	I
Where a wing'd death breeds in mud	C
And tumult of tree shadowed streams	G
Black waters desolately hurled	C
Through the uttermost lost dark	I
Secret places of the world	C
	-
There O swift and terrible	J
Being wast thou born and thence	K
Like a demon loosed from hell	L
Stripped with rending wings the dense	K
Echoing forests till their bowed	C
Plumes of trees like tattered cloud	C
Were toss'd and torn and cried aloud	C
As the wood were rack'd with pain	M
Thence thou freed'st thy wings and soon	N
From the moaning stricken plain	M
In whorled eagle soarings rose	O
To melt the sun defeating snows	O
Of the Mountains of the Moon	N
To dull their glaciers with fierce breath	F
To slip the avalanches' rein	M
To set the laughing torrents free	P
On the tented desert beneath	Q
Where men of thirst must wither and die	C
While the vultures stare in the sun's eye	C
Where slowly sifting sands are strown	M
On broken cities whose bleaching bones	R
Whiten in moonlight stone on stone	M
	-
Over their pitiful dust thy blast	C
Passed in columns of whirling sand	C
Leapt the desert and swept the strand	C
Of the cool and quiet sea	P
Gathering mighty shapes and proud	C
Phantoms of monstrous wave born cloud	C
And northward drove this panoply	P
Till the sky seemed charging on the land	C
	-
Yet in that plum d helm the most	C
Of thy hot power was cooled or lost	C
So that it came to me at length	S
Faint and tepid and shorn of strength	S
To shiver an olive grove that heaves	T
A myriad moonlight coloured leaves	T
And in the stone pine's dome set free	P
A murmur of the middle sea	P
A puff of warm air in the night	C
So spent by its impetuous flight	C
It scarce invades my pillar'd closes	U
To waft their fragrance from the sweet	C
Buds of my lemon coloured roses	U
Or strew blown petals at my feet	C
To kiss my cheek with a warm sigh	C
And in the tired darkness die	C
