Yes even I was in Arcadia born	A
And in mine infant ears	B
A vow of rapture was by Nature sworn	A
Yes even I was in Arcadia born	A
And yet my short spring gave me only tears	C
	-
Once blooms and only once life's youthful May	D
For me its bloom hath gone	E
The silent God O brethren weep to day	D
The silent God hath quenched my torch's ray	D
And the vain dream hath flown	F
	-
Upon thy darksome bridge Eternity	G
I stand e'en now dread thought	H
Take then these joy credentials back from me	G
Unopened I return them now to thee	G
Of happiness alas know naught	H
	-
Before Thy throne my mournful cries I vent	I
Thou Judge concealed from view	J
To yonder star a joyous saying went	I
With judgment's scales to rule us thou art sent	I
And call'st thyself Requiter too	J
	-
Here say they terrors on the bad alight	K
And joys to greet the virtuous spring	L
The bosom's windings thou'lt expose to sight	K
Riddle of Providence wilt solve aright	K
And reckon with the suffering	L
	-
Here to the exile be a home outspread	K
Here end the meek man's thorny path of strife	M
A godlike child whose name was Truth they said	K
Known but to few from whom the many fled	K
Restrained the ardent bridle of my life	M
	-
'It shall be thine another life to live	N
Thy youth to me surrender	O
To thee this surety only can I give'	N
I took the surety in that life to live	N
And gave to her each youthful joy so tender	O
	-
'Give me the woman precious to thy heart	K
Give up to me thy Laura	P
Beyond the grave will usury pay the smart '	-
I wept aloud and from my bleeding heart	K
With resignation tore her	O
	-
'The obligation's drawn upon the dead '	-
Thus laughed the world in scorn	A
'The lying one in league with despots dread	K
For truth a phantom palmed on thee instead	K
Thou'lt be no more when once this dream has gone '	-
	-
Shamelessly scoffed the mockers' serpent band	K
'A dream that but prescription can admit	K
Dost dread Where now thy God's protecting hand	K
The sick world's Saviour with such cunning planned	K
Borrowed by human need of human wit '	-
	-
'What future is't that graves to us reveal	Q
What the eternity of thy discourse	R
Honored because dark veils its form conceal	Q
The giant shadows of the awe we feel	Q
Viewed in the hollow mirror of remorse '	-
	-
'An image false of shapes of living mould	K
Time's very mummy she	G
Whom only Hope's sweet balm hath power to hold	K
Within the chambers of the grave so cold	K
Thy fever calls this immortality '	-
	-
'For empty hopes corruption gives the lie	S
Didst thou exchange what thou hadst surely done	T
Six thousand years sped death in silence by	S
His corpse from out the grave e'er mounted high	S
That mention made of the Requiting One '	-
	-
I saw time fly to reach thy distant shore	U
I saw fair Nature lie	S
A shrivelled corpse behind him evermore	U
No dead from out the grave then sought to soar	U
Yet in that Oath divine still trusted I	S
	-
My ev'ry joy to thee I've sacrificed	K
I throw me now before thy judgment throne	F
The many's scorn with boldness I've despised	K
Only thy gifts by me were ever prized	K
I ask my wages now Requiting One	T
	-
'With equal love I love each child of mine '	-
A genius hid from sight exclaimed	K
'Two flowers ' he cried 'ye mortals mark the sign	V
Two flowers to greet the Searcher wise entwine	V
Hope and Enjoyment they are named '	-
	-
'Who of these flowers plucks one let him ne'er yearn	W
To touch the other sister's bloom	X
Let him enjoy who has no faith eterne	W
As earth this truth Abstain who faith can learn	W
The world's long story is the world's own doom '	-
	-
'Hope thou hast felt thy wages then are paid	K
Thy faith 'twas formed the rapture pledged to thee	G
Thou might'st have of the wise inquiry made	K
The minutes thou neglectest as they fade	K
Are given back by no eternity '	-
