THOU stand'st complete in every part	A
An individual of thy kind	B
But whence thou cam'st and what thou art	A
Didst ever ask thee of thy mind	B
Thou claim'st a portion of God's earth	C
	-
Thou say'st to all men This is I	D
Thou hast a date to mark thy birth	C
And other date when thou shalt die	D
Thy years are in the planets' years	E
A space in all that mighty span	F
	-
A little space of smiles and tears	G
Is writ in shining letters Man	F
Thou hear'st the mighty ocean roll	H
Thou seest death on every hand	I
There loom strange phantoms in thy soul	H
	-
And boundless heavens arch the land	I
Thy feet are on the sand and clay	J
Which once had other growths than these	K
And in the great world's yesterday	J
Heard murmurs of the tropic seas	K
	-
	-
Life out of death death out of life	L
In endless cycles rolling on	M
And fire gleams flashing from the strife	L
Of what will come and what has gone	N
A perfect whole a perfect plan	F
	-
Ay doubtless in the perfect mind	B
An onward march since time began	F
With yet no laggart left behind	B
All blended in a wondrous chain	O
Each link the fittest for its place	P
	-
The stronger made to bear the strain	O
The weaker formed to give it grace	P
But what art thou and what am I	D
What place is ours in all this scheme	Q
What is it to be born and die	D
	-
Are we but phases in a dream	Q
That earth or some prime mother dreams	R
Folded away in crimson skies	S
Or are we dazzled with the beams	R
Of light too strong for new born eyes	S
	-
	-
Certes we are not very much	T
We cannot cause ourselves to be	U
Not even the limbs by which we touch	T
Are really owned by thee and me	U
But they were fashioned years ago	V
	-
Ay centuries since earth's natal morn	W
The wondering ages saw them grow	V
Till our time came and we were born	W
And we are present future past	X
Shall live again have lived before	Y
	-
Like billows on the beaches cast	X
Of tides that flow for evermore	Y
And yet thou sayest This is I	D
I am marked off from all my kind	B
I look not to the by and by	D
	-
I care not for what lies behind	B
That may be so but to mine eyes	S
A being of wondrous make thou art	A
The point at which infinities	S
Converge touch and for ever part	A
	-
	-
Thou canst not unmake what has been	Z
Nor hold back that which is to come	A2
We dwell upon the waste between	B2
In the small now which is our home	C2
Though this be so thou answerest still	D2
	-
I feel and know myself to be	U
Thy creed would make the perfect will	D2
In God's sight like a stone or tree	U
Ah no for stone and tree are one	E2
And perfect will bears different fruit	F2
	-
The will is grander than the sun	E2
The body brother to the brute	F2
But in the ages thou shalt be	U
A link from unknown to unknown	G2
A bridge across a darkling sea	U
	-
A light on the world's pathway thrown	G2
Ay such is man a moan in sleep	H2
A passing dream he thinks and is	S
And then falls back into the deep	H2
Where other deeps call unto this	S
	-
	-
But in that thinking in that pause	S
That dream which did so little yield	I2
There met a universe of laws	S
And branched out into wider field	I2
We live not for ourselves ah no	V
	-
We do not live man lives in us	S
The race dwells in us even so	V
The race will live though we pass thus	S
The forces that have fashioned thee	U
Have rolled through space since time began	F
	-
Have ranged the heavens the earth the sea	U
And in God's time have made thee man	F
And so to further goal they move	J2
When thou hast passed from mortal sight	K2
To fashion beings that will prove	J2
	-
More wondrous still more full of light	K2
We are the foam crest on the wave	L2
Lit for a moment by the sun	E2
A moment thus we toss and rave	L2
Then fall back ere our day is done	E2
	-
	-
Thou then art twain the force that builds	S
The broad foundations of the race	S
And separate light from God that gilds	S
The soul with individual grace	S
God looks at both the one displays	S
	-
The laws that work His purpose still	D2
The other thine own spirit sways	S
And here God asks the perfect will	D2
I would not have thee think the less	S
Of this small part which is man's soul	H
	-
Nor miss the exceeding blessedness	S
Of knowing thyself a separate whole	H
What proof thou sayest if this be true	M2
That thou and I survive the shock	N2
Which summons all we are and do	M2
	-
To credit of the primal stock	N2
If I and thou a moment are	O2
Conscious of self of touch of sight	K2
Then vanish like a falling star	O2
And sink in everlasting night	K2
	-
	-
What proof that in the overthrow	V
The thing that says knows This is I '	-
Will not pass with the rest and go	V
Dissolved into the vast supply	D
Though formed of elemental dust	P2
	-
And moulded through such countless years	S
We perish not with these but must	P2
Survive the rolling of the spheres	S
We must I say for what most high	D
In man Is't not the subtle part	A
	-
The power which tells me This is I	D
I am not everything thou art	A
Would God have laboured then and wrought	Q2
With fire and water life and death	R2
And through the weary cycles brought	Q2
	-
A creature with the vital breath	R2
And breathed such power within his soul	H
And crowned him with such wondrous grace	S
And said Go forth from pole to pole	H
And meet thy brother face to face	S
	-
	-
If this strange power were meant to sink	S2
Back into chaos or be lost	T2
Or cast off as a broken link	S2
Or die like wave along the coast	U2
Not that God's way On ever on	M
	-
To nobler purer higher things	S
Form out the ages that are gone	N
Each newer grander era springs	S
So nought is lost but all must pass	S
And life through varied stages move	J2
	-
From the pale fungus in the grass	S
To deepest depths of light and love	V2
And we must pass we shall not die	D
Changed and transformed but still the same	W2
To grander heights of mystery	U
	-
To fairer realms than whence we came	W2
God will not let His work be lost	T2
Too wondrous is the mind of man	F
Too many ages it has cost	X2
The huge fulfilment of His plan	F
	-
	-
But on we pass for ever on	M
Through death to other deaths and life	L
To brighter lights when these are gone	N
To broader thought more glorious strife	L
To vistas opening out of these	S
	-
To wonders shining from afar	O2
Above the surging of the seas	S
Above the course of moon and star	O2
To higher powers of will and deed	Y2
All bounds and limits left behind	B
	-
To truths undreamt in any creed	Y2
To deeper love more God like mind	B
For this the sky and sea and earth	C
God moulded with His ice and fire	Z2
For this the ages gave us birth	C
	-
And filled our hearts with mad desire	Z2
Great God we move into the vast	X
All questions vain the shadows come	A2
We hear no answer from the past	X
The years before us all are dumb	A2
	-
	-
We trust Thy purpose and Thy will	D2
We see afar the shining goal	H
Forgive us if there linger still	D2
Some human fear within our soul	H
Forgive us if when crumbling in	Z
	-
The world that we have loved and known	G2
With forms so fair to us we sin	Z
By eyes averted from Thy throne	G2
Forgive us if with thoughts too wild	A3
And eyes too dim to pierce the gloom	B3
	-
We shudder like a frightened child	A3
That enters at a darkened room	B3
Forgive us if when dies away	J
All human sound upon our ears	S
We hear not in the swift decay	J
	-
Thy loving voice to calm our fears	S
But lo the dawn of fuller days	S
Horizon glories fringe the sky	D
Our feet would climb the shining ways	S
To meet man's widest destiny	U
	-
	-
Come then all sorrow's recompense	S
The kindling sky is flaked with gold	C3
Above the shattered screen of sense	S
A voice like thun	E2
