Impetuously I sprang from bed	A
Long before lunch was up	B
That I might drain the dizzy dew	C
From the day's first golden cup	B
	-
In swift devouring ecstasy	D
Each toil in turn was done	E
I had done lying on the lawn	F
Three minutes after one	E
	-
For me as Mr Wordsworth says	G
The duties shine like stars	H
I formed my uncle's character	I
Decreasing his cigars	H
	-
But could my kind engross me No	J
Stern Art what sons escape her	I
Soon I was drawing Gladstone's nose	K
On scraps of blotting paper	I
	-
Then on to play one fingered tunes	L
Upon my aunt's piano	J
In short I have a headlong soul	M
I much resemble Hanno	J
	-
Forgive the entrance of the not	N
Too cogent Carthaginian	J
It may have been to make a rhyme	O
I lean to that opinion	J
	-
Then my great work of book research	P
Till dusk I took in hand	Q
The forming of a final sound	R
Opinion on The Strand	Q
	-
But when I quenched the midnight oil	S
And closed the Referee	D
Whose thirty volumes folio	S
I take to bed with me	D
	-
I had a rather funny dream	T
Intense that is and mystic	U
I dreamed that with one leap and yell	S
The world became artistic	U
	-
The Shopmen when their souls were still	S
Declined to open shops	V
And Cooks recorded frames of mind	W
In sad and subtle chops	V
	-
The stars were weary of routine	J
The trees in the plantation	J
Were growing every fruit at once	X
In search of sensation	J
	-
The moon went for a moonlight stroll	S
And tried to be a bard	Y
And gazed enraptured at itself	Z
I left it trying hard	Y
	-
The sea had nothing but a mood	A2
Of 'vague ironic gloom '	-
With which t'explain its presence in	J
My upstairs drawing room	B2
	-
The sun had read a little book	C2
That struck him with a notion	J
He drowned himself and all his fires	D2
Deep in a hissing ocean	J
	-
Then all was dark lawless and lost	E2
I heard great devilish wings	F2
I knew that Art had won and snapt	E2
The Covenant of Things	F2
	-
I cried aloud and I awoke	G2
New labours in my head	E2
I set my teeth and manfully	D
Began to lie in bed	E2
	-
Toiling rejoicing sorrowing	G2
So I my life conduct	E2
Each morning see some task begun	J
Each evening see it chucked	E2
	-
But still in sudden moods of dusk	G2
I hear those great weird wings	F2
Feel vaguely thankful to the vast	E2
Stupidity of things	F2
	-
Envoi	Z
	-
Clear was the night the moon was young	G2
The larkspurs in the plots	H2
Mingled their orange with the gold	E2
Of the forget me nots	H2
	-
The poppies seemed a silver mist	E2
So darkly fell the gloom	B2
You scarce had guessed yon crimson streaks	I2
Were buttercups in bloom	B2
	-
But one thing moved a little child	E2
Crashed through the flower and fern	J
And all my soul rose up to greet	E2
The sage of whom I learn	J
	-
I looked into his awful eyes	J2
I waited his decree	D
I made ingenious attempts	K2
To sit upon his knee	D
	-
The babe upraised his wondering eyes	J2
And timidly he said	E2
A trend towards experiment	E2
In modern minds is bred	E2
	-
I feel the will to roam to learn	J
By test experience nous	L2
That fire is hot and ocean deep	M2
And wolves carnivorous	N2
	-
My brain demands complexity	D
The lisping cherub cried	E2
I looked at him and only said	E2
Go on The world is wide	E2
	-
A tear rolled down his pinafore	D
Yet from my life must pass	O2
The simple love of sun and moon	J
The old games in the grass	O2
	-
Now that my back is to my home	P2
Could these again be found	E2
I looked on him and only said	E2
Go on The world is round	E2
