Impetuously I sprang from bed	A
Long before lunch was up	B
That I might drain the dizzy dew	C
From day's first golden cup	B
	-
	-
	-
In swift devouring ecstacy	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	D
The duties shine like stars	D
I formed my uncle's character	G
Decreasing his cigars	D
	-
But could my kind engross me No	H
Stern Art what sons escape her	G
Soon I was drawing Gladstone's nose	D
On scraps of blotting paper	G
	-
	-
	-
Then on to play one fingered tunes	D
Upon my aunt's piano	H
In short I have a headlong soul	I
I much resemble Hanno	H
	-
Forgive the entrance of the not	J
Too cogent Carthaginian	H
It may have been to make a rhyme	K
I lean to that opinion	H
	-
	-
	-
Then my great work of book research	L
Till dusk I took in hand	M
The forming of a final sound	N
Opinion on The Strand	M
	-
But when I quenched the midnight oil	O
And closed The Referee	P
Whose thirty volumes folio	O
I take to bed with me	P
	-
I had a rather funny dream	Q
Intense that is and mystic	R
I dreamed that with one leap and yell	O
The world became artistic	R
	-
The Shopmen when their souls were still	O
Declined to open shops	D
	-
	-
	-
And Cooks recorded frames of mind	S
In sad and subtle chops	D
	-
	-
	-
The stars were weary of routine	H
The trees in the plantation	H
Were growing every fruit at once	D
In search of a sensation	H
	-
The moon went for a moonlight stroll	O
And tried to be a bard	T
And gazed enraptured at itself	U
I left it trying hard	T
	-
The sea had nothing but a mood	V
Of 'vague ironic gloom '	-
With which t'explain its presence in	H
My upstairs drawing room	W
	-
	-
	-
The sun had read a little book	X
That struck him with a notion	H
He drowned himself and all his fires	D
Deep in the hissing ocean	H
	-
Then all was dark lawless and lost	Y
I heard great devilish wings	D
I knew that Art had won and snapt	Y
The Covenant of Things	D
	-
	-
	-
I cried aloud and I awoke	Z
New labours in my head	Y
I set my teeth and manfully	P
Began to lie in bed	Y
	-
Toiling rejoicing sorrowing	Z
So I my life conduct	Y
Each morning see some task begun	H
Each evening see it chucked	Y
	-
But still in sudden moods of dusk	Z
I hear those great weird wings	D
Feel vaguely thankful to the vast	Y
Stupidity of things	D
