Forth to his study the sculptor goes	A
In a mood of lofty mirth	B
Now shall the tongues of my carping foes	A
Confess what my art is worth	B
In my brain last night the vision arose	A
To morrow shall see its birth	B
	-
He stood like a god with creating hand	C
He struck the formless clay	D
Psyche arise he said and stand	C
In beauty confront the day	D
I have sought nor found thee in any land	C
I call thee arise obey	D
	-
The sun was low in the eastern skies	E
When spoke the confident youth	F
Sweet Psyche all day his hands and eyes	E
Wiled from the clay uncouth	F
Nor ceased when the shadows came up like spies	E
That dog the steps of Truth	F
	-
He said I will do my will in spite	G
Of the rising dark for see	H
She grows to my hand The mar work night	G
Shall hurry and hide and flee	H
From the glow of my lamp and the making might	G
That passeth out of me	H
	-
In the flickering lamplight the figure swayed	I
In the shadows did melt and swim	J
With tool and thumb he modelled and made	I
Nor knew that feature and limb	J
Half obeying half disobeyed	I
And mocking eluded him	J
	-
At the dawning Psyche of his brain	K
Joyous he wrought all night	G
The oil went low and he trimmed in vain	K
The lamp would not burn bright	G
But he still wrought on through the high roof pane	K
He saw the first faint light	G
	-
The dark retreated the morning spread	L
His creatures their shapes resume	M
The plaster stares dumb white and dead	L
A faint blue liquid bloom	M
Lies on each marble bosom and head	L
To his Psyche clings the gloom	M
	-
Backward he stept to see the clay	D
His visage grew white and sear	N
No beauty ideal confronted the day	D
No Psyche from upper sphere	N
But a once loved shape that in darkness lay	D
Buried a lonesome year	N
	-
From maidenhood's wilderness fair and wild	O
A girl to his charm had hied	O
He had blown out the lamp of the trusting child	O
And in the darkness she died	O
Now from the clay she sadly smiled	O
And the sculptor stood staring eyed	O
	-
He had summoned Psyche and Psyche crept	O
From a half forgotten tomb	M
She brought her sad smile that still she kept	O
Her eyes she left in the gloom	M
High grace had found him for now he wept	O
And love was his endless doom	M
	-
Night long he pined all day did rue	P
He haunted her form with sighs	E
As oft as his clay to a lady grew	P
The carvers with dim surmise	E
Would whisper The same shape come to woo	P
With its blindly beseeching eyes	E
