I	A
	-
Hark the rain is on my roof	B
Every murmur through the dark	C
Stings me with a dull reproof	B
Like a half extinguished spark	C
Me ah me how came I here	D
Wide awake and wide alone	E
Caught within a net of fear	F
All my dreams undreamed and gone	G
	-
I will rise I will go forth	H
Better dare the hideous night	I
Better face the freezing north	H
Than be still where is no light	I
Black wind rushing round me now	J
Sown with arrowy points of rain	K
Gone are there and then and now	J
I am here and so is pain	K
	-
Dead in dreams the gloomy street	L
I will out on open roads	M
Eager grow my aimless feet	L
Onward onward something goads	M
I will take the mountain path	N
Beard the storm within its den	O
Know the worst of this dim wrath	N
Harassing the souls of men	O
	-
Chasm 'neath chasm rock piled on rock	P
Roots and crumbling earth and stones	M
Hark the torrent's thundering shock	P
Hark the swaying pine tree's groans	M
Ah I faint I fall I die	A
Sink to nothingness away	Q
Lo a streak upon the sky	A
Lo the opening eye of day	Q
	-
II	A
	-
Mountain summits lift their snows	M
O'er a valley green and low	R
And a winding pathway goes	M
Guided by the river's flow	R
And a music rises ever	S
As of peace and low content	T
From the pebble paven river	S
Like an odour upward sent	T
	-
And the sound of ancient harms	M
Moans behind the hills among	U
Like the humming of the swarms	M
That unseen the forest throng	V
Now I meet the shining rain	K
From a cloud with sunny weft	T
Now against the wind I strain	K
Sudden burst from mountain cleft	T
	-
Now a sky that hath a moon	W
Staining all the cloudy white	T
With a faded rainbow soon	W
Lost in deeps of heavenly night	T
Now a morning clear and soft	T
Amber on the purple hills	M
Warm blue day of summer oft	T
Cooled by wandering windy rills	M
	-
Joy to travel thus along	V
With the universe around	T
Every creature of the throng	V
Every sight and scent and sound	T
Homeward speeding beauty laden	X
Beelike to its hive my soul	Y
Mine the eye the stars are made in	Z
Mine the heart of Nature's whole	Y
	-
III	A
	-
Hills retreating on each hand	T
Slowly sink into the plain	K
Solemn through the outspread land	T
Rolls the river to the main	K
In the glooming of the night	T
Something through the dusky air	A2
Doubtful glimmers faintly white	T
But I know not what or where	A2
	-
Is it but a chalky ridge	B2
Bared of sod like tree of bark	C
Or a river spanning bridge	B2
Miles away into the dark	C
Or the foremost leaping waves	M
Of the everlasting sea	M
Where the Undivided laves	M
Time with its eternity	M
	-
Is it but an eye made sight	T
In my brain a fancied gleam	C2
Or a faint aurora light	T
From the sun's tired smoking team	C2
In the darkness it is gone	G
Yet with every step draws nigh	A
Known shall be the thing unknown	E
When the morning climbs the sky	A
	-
Onward onward through the night	T
Matters it I cannot see	M
I am moving in a might	T
Dwelling in the dark and me	M
End or way I cannot lose	M
Grudge to rest or fear to roam	D2
All is well with wanderer whose	M
Heart is travelling hourly home	D2
	-
IV	A
	-
Joy O joy the dawning sea	M
Answers to the dawning sky	A
Foretaste of the coming glee	M
When the sun will lord it high	A
See the swelling radiance growing	E2
To a dazzling glory might	T
See the shadows gently going	E2
'Twixt the wave tops wild with light	T
	-
Hear the smiting billows clang	F2
See the falling billows lean	G2
Half a watery vault and hang	F2
Gleaming with translucent green	G2
Then in thousand fleeces fall	H2
Thundering light upon the strand	T
This the whiteness which did call	H2
Through the dusk across the land	T
	-
See a boat Out out we dance	M
Fierce blasts swoop upon my sail	I2
What a terrible expanse	M
Tumbling hill and heaving dale	I2
Stayless helpless lost I float	T
Captive to the lawless free	M
But a prison is my boat	T
Oh for petrel wings to flee	M
	-
Look below each watery whirl	J2
Cast in beauty's living mould	T
Look above each feathery curl	J2
Dropping crimson dropping gold	T
Oh I tremble in the flush	K2
Of the everlasting youth	L2
Love and awe together rush	K2
I am free in God the Truth	L2
