O Earth Earth Earth	A
I am dying for love of thee	B
For thou hast given me birth	A
And thy hands have tended me	B
	-
I would fall asleep on thy breast	C
When its swelling folds are bare	D
When the thrush dreams of its nest	C
And the life of its joy in the air	D
	-
When thy life is a vanished ghost	E
And the glory hath left thy waves	F
When thine eye is blind with frost	G
And the fog sits on the graves	F
	-
When the blasts are shivering about	H
And the rain thy branches beats	I
When the damps of death are out	H
And the mourners are in the streets	I
	-
Oh my sleep should be deep	J
In the arms of thy swiftening motion	K
And my dirge the mystic sweep	J
Of the winds that nurse the ocean	K
	-
And my eye would slowly ope	J
With the voice that awakens thee	B
And runs like a glance of hope	J
Up through the quickening tree	B
	-
When the roots of the lonely fir	L
Are dipt in thy veining heat	M
And thy countless atoms stir	L
With the gather of mossy feet	M
	-
When the sun's great censer swings	N
In the hands that always be	B
And the mists from thy watery rings	N
Go up like dust from the sea	B
	-
When the midnight airs are assembling	O
With a gush in thy whispering halls	P
And the leafy air is trembling	O
Like a stream before it falls	P
	-
Thy shadowy hand hath found me	B
On the drifts of the Godhead's will	Q
And thy dust hath risen around me	B
With a life that guards me still	Q
	-
O Earth I have caught from thine	R
The pulse of a mystic chase	S
O Earth I have drunk like wine	R
The life of thy swiftening race	S
	-
Wilt miss me mother sweet	M
A life in thy milky veins	T
Wilt miss the sound of my feet	M
In the tramp that shakes thy plains	T
	-
When the jaws of darkness rend	M
And the vapours fold away	U
And the sounds of life ascend	M
Like dust in the blinding day	U
	-
I would know thy silver strain	V
In the shouts of the starry crowd	M
When the souls of thy changing men	W
Rise up like an incense cloud	M
	-
I would know thy brightening lobes	X
And the lap of thy watery bars	Y
Though space were choked with globes	X
And the night were blind with stars	Y
	-
From the folds of my unknown place	S
When my soul is glad and free	B
I will slide by my God's sweet grace	S
And hang like a cloud on thee	B
	-
When the pale moon sits at night	M
By the brink of her shining well	Z
Laving the rings of her widening light	M
On the slopes of the weltering swell	Z
	-
I will fall like a wind from the west	M
On the locks of thy prancing streams	A2
And sow the fields of thy rest	M
With handfuls of sweet young dreams	A2
	-
When the sound of thy children's cry	B2
Hath stricken thy gladness dumb	C2
I will kindle thine upward eye	B2
With a laugh from the years that come	C2
	-
Far above where the loud wind raves	F
On a wing as still as snow	D2
I will watch the grind of the curly waves	F
As they bite the coasts below	D2
	-
When the shining ranks of the frost	M
Draw down on the glistening wold	M
In the mail of a fairy host	M
And the earth is mossed with cold	M
	-
Till the plates that shine about	M
Close up with a filmy din	E2
Till the air is frozen out	M
And the stars are frozen in	E2
	-
I will often stoop to range	F2
On the fields where my youth was spent	M
And my feet shall smite the cliffs of change	F2
With the rush of a steep descent	M
	-
And my glowing soul shall burn	G2
With a love that knows no pall	H2
And my eye of worship turn	G2
Upon him that fashioned all	I2
	-
When the sounding waves of strife	J2
Have died on the Godhead's sea	B
And thy life is a purer life	J2
That nurses a life in me	B
