Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHI JKLH HMNO PQH RSAPA

Meticulous past midnight in clear rimeA
Infrangible and lonely smooth as though castB
Together in one merciless white bladeC
The bay estuaries fleck the hard sky limitsD
-
As if too brittle or too clear to touchE
The cables of our sleep so swiftly filedF
Already hang shred ends from remembered starsG
One frozen trackless smile What wordsH
Can strangle this deaf moonlight For weI
-
Are overtaken Now no cry no swordJ
Can fasten or deflect this tidal wedgeK
Slow tyranny of moonlight moonlight lovedL
And changed 'There'sH
-
Nothing like this in the world ' you sayH
is Knowing I cannot touch your hand and lookM
Too into that godless cleft of skyN
Where nothing turns but dead sands flashingO
-
' And never to quite understand ' NoP
In all the argosy of your bright hair I dreamedQ
Nothing so flagless as this piracyH
-
But nowR
Draw in your head alone and too tall hereS
Your eyes already in the slant of drifting foamA
Your breath sealed by the ghosts I do not knowP
Draw in your head and sleep the long way homeA
