Awakes for me and leaps from shroud	A
All radiantly the moon's own night	B
Of folded showers in streamer cloud	A
Our shadows down the highway white	B
Or deep in woodland woven boughed	B
With yon and yon a stem alight	B
	-
I see marauder runagates	C
Across us shoot their dusky wink	D
I hear the parliament of chats	C
In haws beside the river's brink	D
And drops the vole off alder banks	C
To push his arrow through the stream	E
These busy people had our thanks	C
For tickling sight and sound but theme	E
They were not more than breath we drew	F
Delighted with our world's embrace	C
The moss root smell where beeches grew	F
And watered grass in breezy space	C
The silken heights of ghostly bloom	G
Among their folds by distance draped	B
'Twas Youth rapacious to consume	G
That cried to have its chaos shaped	B
Absorbing little noting still	H
Enriched and thinking it bestowed	B
With wistful looks on each far hill	H
For something hidden something owed	B
Unto his mantled sister Day	B
Had given the secret things we sought	B
And she was grave and saintly gay	B
At times she fluttered spoke her thought	B
She flew on it then folded wings	C
In meditation passing lone	I
To breathe around the secret things	C
Which have no word and yet are known	I
Of thirst for them are known as air	J
Is health in blood we gained enough	K
By this to feel it honest fare	J
Impalpable not barren stuff	K
	-
A pride of legs in motion kept	B
Our spirits to their task meanwhile	L
And what was deepest dreaming slept	B
The posts that named the swallowed mile	L
Beside the straight canal the hut	B
Abandoned near the river's source	C
Its infant chirp the shortest cut	B
The roadway missed were our discourse	C
At times dear poets whom some view	F
Transcendent or subdued evoked	B
To speak the memorable the true	F
The luminous as a moon uncloaked	B
For proof that there among earth's dumb	M
A soul had passed and said our best	B
Or it might be we chimed on some	M
Historic favourite's astral crest	B
With part to reverence in its gleam	E
And part to rivalry the shout	B
So royal unuttered is youth's dream	E
Of power within to strike without	B
But most the silences were sweet	B
Like mothers' breasts to bid it feel	N
It lived in such divine conceit	B
As envies aught we stamp for real	N
	-
To either then an untold tale	O
Was Life and author hero we	P
The chapters holding peaks to scale	O
Or depths to fathom made our glee	P
For we were armed of inner fires	C
Unbled in us the ripe desires	C
And passion rolled a quiet sea	P
Whereon was Love the phantom sail	O
