To the	A
happy memory of five Franciscan Nuns	B
exiles by the Falk Laws	C
drowned between midnight and morning of	D
Dec th	E

PART THE FIRST	F
	-
	-
	-
Thou mastering me	G
God giver of breath and bread	H
World's strand sway of the sea	G
Lord of living and dead	H
Thou hast bound bones and veins in me fastened me flesh	I
And after it almost unmade what with dread	H
Thy doing and dost thou touch me afresh	I
Over again I feel thy finger and find thee	G
	-
	-
	-
I did say yes	J
O at lightning and lashed rod	K
Thou heardst me truer than tongue confess	J
Thy terror O Christ O God	K
Thou knowest the walls altar and hour and night	L
The swoon of a heart that the sweep and the hurl of thee trod	K
Hard down with a horror of height	L
And the midriff astrain with leaning of laced with fire of stress	J
	-
	-
	-
The frown of his face	M
Before me the hurtle of hell	N
Behind where where was a where was a place	M
I whirled out wings that spell	N
And fled with a fling of the heart to the heart of the Host	O
My heart but you were dovewinged I can tell	N
Carrier witted I am bold to boast	O
To flash from the flame to the flame then tower from the grace to the grace	M
	-
	-
	-
I am soft sift	P
In an hourglass at the wall	Q
Fast but mined with a motion a drift	P
And it crowds and it combs to the fall	Q
I steady as a water in a well to a poise to a pane	R
But roped with always all the way down from the tall	Q
Fells or flanks of the voel a vein	R
Of the gospel proffer a pressure a principle Christ's gift	P
	-
	-
	-
I kiss my hand	S
To the stars lovely asunder	T
Starlight wafting him out of it and	U
Glow glory in thunder	T
Kiss my hand to the dappled with damson west	V
Since tho' he is under the world's splendour and wonder	T
His mystery must be instressed stressed	V
For I greet him the days I meet him and bless when I understand	S
	-
	-
	-
Not out of his bliss	W
Springs the stress felt	X
Nor first from heaven and few know this	W
Swings the stroke dealt	X
Stroke and a stress that stars and storms deliver	T
That guilt is hushed by hearts are flushed by and melt	X
But it rides time like riding a river	T
And here the faithful waver the faithless fable and miss	W
	-
	-
	-
It dates from day	Y
Of his going in Galilee	G
Warm laid grave of a womb life grey	Y
Manger maiden's knee	G
The dense and the driven Passion and frightful sweat	Z
Thence the discharge of it there its swelling to be	G
Though felt before though in high flood yet	Z
What none would have known of it only the heart being hard at bay	Y
	-
	-
	-
Is out with it Oh	A2
We lash with the best or worst	F
Word last How a lush kept plush capped sloe	A2
Will mouthed to flesh burst	F
Gush flush the man the being with it sour or sweet	B2
Brim in a flash full Hither then last or first	F
To hero of Calvary Christ 's feet	B2
Never ask if meaning it wanting it warned of it men go	A2
	-
	-
	-
Be adored among men	C2
God three number egrave d form	D2
Wring thy rebel dogged in den	C2
Man's malice with wrecking and storm	D2
Beyond saying sweet past telling of tongue	E2
Thou art lightning and love I found it a winter and warm	D2
Father and fondler of heart thou hast wrung	E2
Hast thy dark descending and most art merciful then	C2
	-
	-
	-
With an anvil ding	F2
And with fire in him forge thy will	G2
Or rather rather then stealing as Spring	F2
Through him melt him but master him still	G2
Whether at once as once at a crash Paul	Q
Or as Austin a lingering out sweet skill	G2
Make mercy in all of us out of us all	Q
Mastery but be adored but be adored King	F2
	-
PART THE SECOND	U

	-
'Some find me a sword some	H2
The flange and the rail flame	I2
Fang or flood' goes Death on drum	H2
And storms bugle his fame	I2
But w eacute dream we are rooted in earth Dust	J2
Flesh falls within sight of us we though our flower the same	I2
Wave with the meadow forget that there must	J2
The sour scythe cringe and the blear share come	H2

On Saturday sailed from Bremen	K2
American outward bound	L2
Take settler and seamen tell men with women	K2
Two hundred souls in the round	L2
O Father not under thy feathers nor ever as guessing	F2
The goal was a shoal of a fourth the doom to be drowned	L2
Yet did the dark side of the bay of thy blessing	F2
Not vault them the million of rounds of thy mercy not reeve even them in	M2
	-

	-
Into the snows she sweeps	N2
Hurling the haven behind	O2
The Deutschland on Sunday and so the sky keeps	N2
For the infinite air is unkind	O2
And the sea flint flake black backed in the regular blow	A2
Sitting Eastnortheast in cursed quarter the wind	O2
Wiry and white fiery and whirlwind swivell egrave d snow	A2
Spins to the widow making unchilding unfathering deeps	N2
	-
	-
	-
She drove in the dark to leeward	P2
She struck not a reef or a rock	Q2
But the combs of a smother of sand night drew her	T
Dead to the Kentish Knock	Q2
And she beat the bank down with her bows and the ride of her keel	R2
The breakers rolled on her beam with ruinous shock	Q2
And canvas and compass the whorl and the wheel	R2
Idle for ever to waft her or wind her with these she endured	S2
	-
	-
	-
Hope had grown grey hairs	N2
Hope had mourning on	T2
Trenched with tears carved with cares	N2
Hope was twelve hours gone	U2
And frightful a nightfall folded rueful a day	Y
Nor rescue only rocket and lightship shone	V2
And lives at last were washing away	Y
To the shrouds they took they shook in the hurling and	U
horrible airs	N2
	-
	-
	-
One stirred from the rigging to save	W2
The wild woman kind below	A2
With a rope's end round the man handy and brave	W2
He was pitched to his death at a blow	A2
For all his dreadnought breast and braids of thew	X2
They could tell him for hours dandled the to and fro	A2
Through the cobbled foam fleece what could he do	X2
With the burl of the fountains of air buck and the flood of the wave	W2
	-
	-
	-
They fought with God's cold	Y2
And they could not and fell to the deck	Z2
Crushed them or water and drowned them or rolled	Y2
With the sea romp over the wreck	Z2
Night roared with the heart break hearing a heart broke rabble	A3
The woman's wailing the crying of child without check	Z2
Till a lioness arose breasting the babble	A3
A prophetess towered in the tumult a virginal tongue told	Y2
	-
	-
	-
Ah touched in your bower of bone	V2
Are you turned for an exquisite smart	B3
Have you make words break from me here all alone	V2
Do you mother of being in me heart	B3
O unteachably after evil but uttering truth	C3
Why tears is it tears such a melting a madrigal start	B3
Never eldering revel and river of youth	C3
What can it be this glee the good you have there of your own	V2
	-
	-
	-
Sister a sister calling	F2
A master her master and mine	D3
And the inboard seas run swirling and hawling	F2
The rash smart sloggering brine	D3
Blinds her but she that weather sees one thing one	K2
Has one fetch in her she rears herself to divine	D3
Ears and the call of the tall nun	K2
To the men in the tops and the tackle rode over the storm's brawling	F2
	-
	-
	-
She was first of a five and came	I2
Of a coif egrave d sisterhood	E3
O Deutschland double a desperate name	I2
O world wide of its good	E3
But Gertrude lily and Luther are two of a town	F3
Christ's lily and beast of the waste wood	E3
From life's dawn it is drawn down	F3
Abel is Cain's brother and breasts they have sucked the same	I2
	-
	-
	-
Loathed for a love men knew in them	G3
Banned by the land of their birth	H3
Rhine refused them Thames would ruin them	G3
Surf snow river and earth	H3
Gnashed but thou art above thou Orion of light	L
Thy unchancelling poising palms were weighing the worth	H3
Thou martyr master in thy sight	L
Storm flakes were scroll leaved flowers lily showers sweet heaven was astrew in them	G3
	-
	-
	-
Five the finding and sake	F2
And cipher of suffering Christ	I3
Mark the mark is of man's make	F2
And the word of it Sacrificed	I3
But he scores it in scarlet himself on his own bespoken	F3
Before time taken dearest priz egrave d and priced	I3
Stigma signal cinquefoil token	F3
For lettering of the lamb's fleece ruddying of the rose flake	F2

Joy fall to thee father Francis	N2
Drawn to the Life that died	J3
With the gnarls of the nails in thee niche of the lance his	N2
Lovescape crucified	J3
And seal of his seraph arrival and these thy daughters	N2
And five liv egrave d and leav egrave d favour and pride	J3
Are sisterly sealed in wild waters	N2
To bathe in his fall gold mercies to breathe in his all fire glances	N2

Away in the loveable west	V
On a pastoral forehead of Wales	N2
I was under a roof here I was at rest	V
And they the prey of the gales	N2
She to the black about air to the breaker the thickly	G
Falling flakes to the throng that catches and quails	N2
Was calling 'O Christ Christ come quickly'	G
The cross to her she calls Christ to her christens her wild worst Best	V
	-
	-
	-
The majesty what did she mean	F3
Breathe arch and original Breath	K3
Is it love in her of the being as her lover had been	F3
Breathe body of lovely Death	K3
They were else minded then altogether the men	F3
Woke thee with a we are perishing in the weather of Gennesareth	K3
Or is it that she cried for the crown then	F3
The keener to come at the comfort for feeling the combating keen	F3
	-
	-
	-
For how to the heart's cheering	F2
The down dugged ground hugged grey	Y
Hovers off the jay blue heavens appearing	F2
Of pied and peeled May	Y
Blue beating and hoary glow height or night still higher	T
With belled fire and the moth soft Milky Way	Y
What by your measure is the heaven of desire	T
The treasure never eyesight got nor was ever guessed what for the hearing	F2

No but it was not these	N2
The jading and jar of the cart	B3
Time's tasking it is fathers that asking for ease	N2
Of the sodden with its sorrowing heart	B3
Not danger electrical horror then further it finds	N2
The appealing of the Passion is tenderer in prayer apart	B3
Other I gather in measure her mind's	N2
Burden in wind's burly and beat of endragon egrave d seas	N2

But how shall I make me room there	L3
Reach me a Fancy come faster	T
Strike you the sight of it look at it loom there	L3
Thing that she there then the Master	T
Ipse the only one Christ King Head	H
He was to cure the extremity where he had cast her	T
Do deal lord it with living and dead	H
Let him ride her pride in his triumph despatch and have done with his doom there	L3
	-

Ah there was a heart right	L
There was single eye	M3
Read the unshapeable shock night	L
And knew the who and the why	M3
Wording it how but by him that present and past	N3
Heaven and earth are word of worded by	M3
The Simon Peter of a soul to the blast	N3
Tarpeian fast but a blown beacon of light	L

Jesu heart's light	L
Jesu maid's son	F3
What was the feast followed the night	L
Thou hadst glory of this nun	F3
Feast of the one woman without stain	F3
For so conceiv egrave d so to conceive thee is done	F3
But here was heart throe birth of a brain	F3
Word that heard and kept thee and uttered thee outright	L

Well she has thee for the pain for the	K3
Patience but pity of the rest of them	G3
Heart go and bleed at a bitterer vein for the	K3
Comfortless unconfessed of them	G3
No not uncomforted lovely felicitous Providence	N2
Finger of a tender of O of a feathery delicacy the breast of the	K3
Maiden could obey so be a bell to ring of it and	U
Startle the poor sheep back is the shipwrack then a harvest does tempest carry the grain for thee	K3

I admire thee master of the tides	N2
Of the Yore flood of the year's fall	G
The recurb and the recovery of the gulf's sides	N2
The girth of it and the wharf of it and the wall	G
Stanching quenching ocean of a motionable mind	O2
Ground of being and granite of it past all	G
Grasp God throned behind	O2
Death with a sovereignty that heeds but hides bodes but abides	N2

With a mercy that outrides	N2
The all of water an ark	F2
For the listener for the lingerer with a love glides	N2

The Christ of the Father compassionate fetched in the storm of his strides	N2

The heaven flung heart fleshed maiden furled	O3
Miracle in Mary of flame	I2
Mid numbered He in three of the thunder throne	F3
Not a dooms day dazzle in his coming nor dark as he came	I2
Kind but royally reclaiming his own	F3
A released shower let flash to the shire not a lightning of fire hard hurled	O3

Drowned and among our shoals	N2
Remember us in the roads the heaven haven of the Reward	O3
Our King back oh upon English souls	N2
