He rises and begins to round	A
He drops the silver chain of sound	A
Of many links without a break	B
In chirrup whistle slur and shake	B
All intervolv d and spreading wide	C
Like water dimples down a tide	C
Where ripple ripple overcurls	D
And eddy into eddy whirls	D
A press of hurried notes that run	E
So fleet they scarce are more than one	E
Yet changingly the trills repeat	F
And linger ringing while they fleet	F
Sweet to the quick o the ear and dear	G
To her beyond the handmaid ear	H
Who sits beside our inner springs	D
Too often dry for this he brings	D
Which seems the very jet of earth	I
At sight of sun her musci s mirth	I
As up he wings the spiral stair	J
A song of light and pierces air	J
With fountain ardor fountain play	K
To reach the shining tops of day	K
And drink in everything discern d	L
An ecstasy to music turn d	L
Impell d by what his happy bill	M
Disperses drinking showering still	M
Unthinking save that he may give	N
His voice the outlet there to live	O
Renew d in endless notes of glee	L
So thirsty of his voice is he	L
For all to hear and all to know	P
That he is joy awake aglow	P
The tumult of the heart to hear	H
Through pureness filter d crystal clear	G
And know the pleasure sprinkled bright	Q
By simple singing of delight	Q
Shrill irreflective unrestrain d	L
Rapt ringing on the jet sustain d	L
Without a break without a fall	R
Sweet silvery sheer lyrical	S
Perennial quavering up the chord	T
Like myriad dews of sunny sward	T
That trembling into fulness shine	U
And sparkle dropping argentine	V
Such wooing as the ear receives	D
From zephyr caught in choric leaves	D
Of aspens when their chattering net	W
Is flush d to white with shivers wet	W
And such the water spirit s chime	X
On mountain heights in morning s prime	X
Too freshly sweet to seem excess	D
Too animate to need a stress	D
But wider over many heads	D
The starry voice ascending spreads	D
Awakening as it waxes thin	Y
The best in us to him akin	Y
And every face to watch him rais d	L
Puts on the light of children prais d	L
So rich our human pleasure ripes	D
When sweetness on sincereness pipes	D
Though nought be promis d from the seas	D
But only a soft ruffling breeze	D
Sweep glittering on a still content	Z
Serenity in ravishment	Z
	-
For singing till his heaven fills	D
T is love of earth that he instils	D
And ever winging up and up	A2
Our valley is his golden cup	A2
And he the wine which overflows	D
To lift us with him as he goes	D
The woods and brooks the sheep and kine	Y
He is the hills the human line	Y
The meadows green the fallows brown	Y
The dreams of labor in the town	Y
He sings the sap the quicken d veins	D
The wedding song of sun and rains	D
He is the dance of children thanks	D
Of sowers shout of primrose banks	D
And eye of violets while they breathe	B2
All these the circling song will wreathe	B2
And you shall hear the herb and tree	L
The better heart of men shall see	L
Shall feel celestially as long	C2
As you crave nothing save the song	C2
Was never voice of ours could say	D
Our inmost in the sweetest way	D
Like yonder voice aloft and link	D2
All hearers in the song they drink	D2
Our wisdom speaks from failing blood	Z
Our passion is too full in flood	Z
We want the key of his wild note	Z
Of truthful in a tuneful throat	Z
The song seraphically free	L
Of taint of personality	L
So pure that it salutes the suns	D
The voice of one for millions	D
In whom the millions rejoice	D
For giving their one spirit voice	D
	-
Yet men have we whom we revere	G
Now names and men still housing here	H
Whose lives by many a battle dint	Z
Defaced and grinding wheels on flint	Z
Yield substance though they sing not sweet	Z
For song our highest heaven to greet	Z
Whom heavenly singing gives us new	Y
Enspheres them brilliant in our blue	Y
From firmest base to farthest leap	E2
Because their love of Earth is deep	E2
And they are warriors in accord	Z
With life to serve and pass reward	Z
So touching purest and so heard	Z
In the brain s reflex of yon bird	Z
Wherefore their soul in me or mine	Y
Through self forgetfulness divine	Y
In them that song aloft maintains	D
To fill the sky and thrill the plains	D
With showerings drawn from human stores	D
As he to silence nearer soars	D
Extends the world at wings and dome	F2
More spacious making more our home	F2
Till lost on his a rial rings	D
In light and then the fancy sings	D
