I	A
	-
On her great venture Man	B
Earth gazes while her fingers dint the breast	C
Which is his well of strength his home of rest	C
And fair to scan	B
	-
II	A
	-
More aid than that embrace	D
That nourishment she cannot give his heart	E
Involves his fate and she who urged the start	E
Abides the race	D
	-
III	A
	-
For he is in the lists	F
Contentious with the elements whose dower	G
First sprang him for swift vultures to devour	H
If he desists	F
	-
IV	-
	-
His breath of instant thirst	I
Is warning of a creature matched with strife	-
To meet it as a bride or let fall life	-
On life's accursed	I
	-
V	-
	-
No longer forth he bounds	F
The lusty animal afield to roam	J
But peering in Earth's entrails where the gnome	J
Strange themes propounds	F
	-
VI	-
	-
By hunger sharply sped	I
To grasp at weapons ere he learns their use	F
In each new ring he bears a giant's thews	F
An infant's head	I
	-
VII	-
	-
And ever that old task	K
Of reading what he is and whence he came	L
Whither to go finds wilder letters flame	L
Across her mask	K
	-
VIII	-
	-
She hears his wailful prayer	M
When now to the Invisible he raves	F
To rend him from her now of his mother craves	F
Her calm her care	M
	-
IX	F
	-
The thing that shudders most	I
Within him is the burden of his cry	-
Seen of his dread she is to his blank eye	-
The eyeless Ghost	I
	-
X	F
	-
Or sometimes she will seem	N
Heavenly but her blush soon wearing white	I
Veils like a gorsebush in a web of blight	I
With gold buds dim	O
	-
XI	F
	-
Once worshipped Prime of Powers	F
She still was the Implacable as a beast	I
She struck him down and dragged him from the feast	I
She crowned with flowers	F
	-
XII	F
	-
Her pomp of glorious hues	F
Her revelries of ripeness her kind smile	P
Her songs her peeping faces lure awhile	P
With symbol clues	F
	-
XIII	F
	-
The mystery she holds	F
For him inveterately he strains to see	F
And sight of his obtuseness is the key	F
Among those folds	F
	-
XIV	-
	-
He may entreat aspire	Q
He may despair and she has never heed	I
She drinking his warm sweat will soothe his need	I
Not his desire	H
	-
XV	-
	-
She prompts him to rejoice	F
Yet scares him on the threshold with the shroud	I
He deems her cherishing of her best endowed	I
A wanton's choice	F
	-
XVI	-
	-
Albeit thereof he has found	I
Firm roadway between lustfulness and pain	R
Has half transferred the battle to his brain	R
From bloody ground	I
	-
XVII	-
	-
He will not read her good	I
Or wise but with the passion Self obscures	F
Through that old devil of the thousand lures	F
Through that dense hood	I
	-
XVIII	-
	-
Through terror through distrust	I
The greed to touch to view to have to live	-
Through all that makes of him a sensitive	-
Abhorring dust	I
	-
XIX	F
	-
Behold his wormy home	J
And he the wind whipped anywhither wave	-
Crazily tumbled on a shingle grave	-
To waste in foam	J
	-
XX	F
	-
Therefore the wretch inclined	I
Afresh to the Invisible who he saith	S
Can raise him high with vows of living faith	S
For little signs	F
	-
XXI	F
	-
Some signs he must demand	I
Some proofs of slaughtered nature some prized few	-
To satisfy the senses it is true	-
And in his hand	I
	-
XXII	F
	-
This miracle which saves	F
Himself himself doth from extinction clutch	T
By virtue of his worth contrasting much	T
With brutes and knaves	F
	-
XXIII	F
	-
From dust of him abhorred	I
He would be snatched by Grace discovering worth	S
'Sever me from the hollowness of Earth	S
Me take dear Lord '	-
	-
XXIV	-
	-
She hears him Him she owes	F
For half her loveliness a love well won	U
By work that lights the shapeless and the dun	U
Their common foes	F
	-
XXV	-
	-
He builds the soaring spires	F
That sing his soul in stone of her he draws	F
Though blind to her by spelling at her laws	F
Her purest fires	F
	-
XXVI	-
	-
Through him hath she exchanged	I
For the gold harvest robes the mural crown	V
Her haggard quarry features and thick frown	V
Where monsters ranged	I
	-
XXVII	-
	-
And order high discourse	F
And decency than which is life less dear	W
She has of him the lyre of language clear	W
Love's tongue and source	F
	-
XXVIII	-
	-
She hears him and can hear	X
With glory in his gains by work achieved	I
With grief for grief that is the unperceived	I
In her so near	W
	-
XXIX	F
	-
If he aloft for aid	I
Imploring storms her essence is the spur	H
His cry to heaven is a cry to her	H
He would evade	I
	-
XXX	F
	-
Not elsewhere can he tend	I
Those are her rules which bid him wash foul sins	F
Those her revulsions from the skull that grins	F
To ape his end	I
	-
XXXI	F
	-
And her desires are those	F
For happiness for lastingness for light	I
'Tis she who kindles in his haunting night	I
The hoped dawn rose	F
	-
XXXII	F
	-
Fair fountains of the dark	Y
Daily she waves him that his inner dream	N
May clasp amid the glooms a springing beam	N
A quivering lark	Y
	-
XXIII	F
	-
This life and her to know	Z
For Spirit with awakenedness of glee	F
To feel stern joy her origin not he	F
The child of woe	Z
	-
XXXIV	-
	-
But that the senses still	A2
Usurp the station of their issue mind	I
He would have burst the chrysalis of the blind	I
As yet he will	A2
	-
XXXV	-
	-
As yet he will she prays	F
Yet will when his distempered devil of Self	-
The glutton for her fruits the wily elf	-
In shifting rays	F
	-
XXXVI	-
	-
That captain of the scorned	I
The coveter of life in soul and shell	B2
The fratricide the thief the infidel	B2
The hoofed and horned	I
	-
XXXVII	-
	-
He singularly doomed	I
To what he execrates and writhes to shun	U
When fire has passed him vapour to the sun	U
And sun relumed	I
	-
XXXVIII	-
	-
Then shall the horrid pall	C2
Be lifted and a spirit nigh divine	D2
'Live in thy offspring as I live in mine '	-
Will hear her call	E2
	-
XXXIX	F
	-
Whence looks he on a land	I
Whereon his labour is a carven page	F2
And forth from heritage to heritage	G2
Nought writ on sand	I
	-
XL	E2
	-
His fables of the Above	-
And his gapped readings of the crown and sword	I
The hell detested and the heaven adored	I
The hate the love	-
	-
XLI	E2
	-
The bright wing the black hoof	-
He shall peruse from Reason not disjoined	I
And never unfaith clamouring to be coined	I
To faith by proof	-
	-
XLII	E2
	-
She her just Lord may view	-
Not he her creature till his soul has yearned	I
With all her gifts to reach the light discerned	I
Her spirit through	-
	-
XLIIII	E2
	-
Then in him time shall run	U
As in the hour that to young sunlight crows	F
And 'If thou hast good faith it can repose '	-
She tells her son	U
	-
XLIV	-
	-
Meanwhile on him her chief	-
Expression her great word of life looks she	F
Twi minded of him as the waxing tree	F
Or dated leaf	-
