Rhyme Scheme: ABBBACCCA DEEEDCCCD FCCCFGGGF CCCCCCCCC HIIIHBBBH GEJEGBBBGHe that is by Mooni now | A |
Sees the water sapphires gleaming | B |
Where the River Spirit dreaming | B |
Sleeps by fall and fountain streaming | B |
Under lute of leaf and bough | A |
Hears what stamp of Storm with stress is | C |
Psalms from unseen wildernesses | C |
Deep amongst far hill recesses | C |
He that is by Mooni now | A |
- | |
Yea for him by Mooni's marge | D |
Sings the yellow hair'd September | E |
With the face the gods remember | E |
When the ridge is burnt to ember | E |
And the dumb sea chains the barge | D |
Where the mount like molten brass is | C |
Down beneath fern feather'd passes | C |
Noonday dew in cool green grasses | C |
Gleams on him by Mooni's marge | D |
- | |
Who that dwells by Mooni yet | F |
Feels in flowerful forest arches | C |
Smiting wings and breath that parches | C |
Where strong Summer's path of march is | C |
And the suns in thunder set | F |
Housed beneath the gracious kirtle | G |
Of the shadowy water myrtle | G |
Winds may kiss with heat and hurtle | G |
He is safe by Mooni yet | F |
- | |
Days there were when he who sings | C |
Dumb so long through passion's losses | C |
Stood where Mooni's water crosses | C |
Shining tracks of green hair'd mosses | C |
Like a soul with radiant wings | C |
Then the psalm the wind rehearses | C |
Then the song the stream disperses | C |
Lent a beauty to his verses | C |
Who to night of Mooni sings | C |
- | |
Ah the theme the sad gray theme | H |
Certain days are not above me | I |
Certain hearts have ceased to love me | I |
Certain fancies fail to move me | I |
Like the effluent morning dream | H |
Head whereon the white is stealing | B |
Heart whose hurts are past all healing | B |
Where is now the first pure feeling | B |
Ah the theme the sad gray theme | H |
- | |
Still to be by Mooni cool | G |
Where the water blossoms glister | E |
And by gleaming vale and vista | J |
Sits the English April's sister | E |
Soft and sweet and wonderful | G |
Just to rest beneath the burning | B |
Outer world its sneers and spurning | B |
Ah my heart my heart is yearning | B |
Still to be by Mooni cool | G |
