Look look there	A
Send your eyes across the gray	B
By my finger point away	B
Through the vaporous fumy air	A
Beyond the air you see the dark	C
Beyond the dark the dawning day	B
On its horizon pray you mark	C
Something like a ruined heap	D
Of worlds half uncreated that go back	E
Down all the grades through which they rose	F
Up to harmonious life and law's repose	F
Back slow to the awful deep	D
Of nothingness mere being's lack	E
On its surface lone and bare	A
Shapeless as a dumb despair	A
Formless nameless something lies	G
Can the vision in your eyes	G
Its idea recognize	G
	-
'Tis a poor lost soul alack	E
Half he lived some ages back	E
But with hardly opened eyes	G
Thinking him already wise	G
Down he sat and wrote a book	E
Drew his life into a nook	E
Out of it would not arise	G
To peruse the letters dim	H
Graven dark on his own walls	I
Those he judged were chance led scrawls	I
Or at best no use to him	H
A lamp was there for reading these	I
This he trimmed sitting at ease	I
For its aid to write his book	E
Never at his walls to look	E
Trimmed and trimmed to one faint spark	E
Which went out and left him dark	E
I will try if he can hear	J
Spirit words with spirit ear	J
	-
Motionless thing who once	I
Like him who cries to thee	K
Hadst thy place with thy shining peers	I
Thy changeful place in the changeless dance	I
Issuing ever in radiance	I
From the doors of the far eternity	K
With feet that glitter and glide and glance	I
To the music law that binds the free	K
And sets the captive at liberty	K
To the clang of the crystal spheres	I
O heart for love O thirst to drink	E
From the wells that feed the sea	K
O hands of truth a human link	E
'Twixt mine and the Father's knee	K
O eyes to see O soul to think	E
O life the brother of me	K
Has Infinitude sucked back all	L
The individual life it gave	M
Boots it nothing to cry and call	L
Is thy form an empty grave	M
	-
It heareth not brothers the terrible thing	E
Sounds no sense to its ear will bring	E
Let us away 'tis no use to tarry	K
Love no light to its heart will carry	K
Sting it with words it will never shrink	E
It will not repent it cannot think	E
Hath God forgotten it alas	I
Lost in eternity's lumber room	N
Will the wind of his breathing never pass	I
Over it through the insensate gloom	N
Like a frost killed bud on a tombstone curled	O
Crumbling it lies on its crumbling world	O
Sightless and deaf with never a cry	P
In the hell of its own vacuity	O
	-
See see yon angel crossing our flight	O
Where the thunder vapours loom	N
From his upcast pinions flashing the light	O
Of some outbreaking doom	N
Up brothers away a storm is nigh	P
Smite we the wing up a steeper sky	P
What matters the hail or the clashing winds	I
The thunder that buffets the lightning that blinds	I
We know by the tempest we do not lie	P
Dead in the pits of eternity	O
