On the storm cloven CapeA
The bitter waves rollB
With the bergs of the PoleB
And the darks and the damps of the Northern SeaC
For the storm cloven CapeA
Is an alien ShapeA
With a fearful face and it moans and it standsD
Outside all landsD
EverlastinglyB
-
When the fruits of the yearE
Have been gathered in SpainF
And the Indian rainF
Is rich on the evergreen lands of the SunG
There comes to this CapeA
To this alien ShapeA
As the waters beat in and the echoes troop forthH
The Wind of the NorthH
EuroclydonG
-
And the wilted thymeI
And the patches pastJ
Of the nettles castJ
In the drift of the rift and the broken rimeI
Are tumbled and blownG
To every zoneG
With the famished glede and the plovers thinnedK
By this fourfold WindL
This Wind sublimeI
-
On the wrinkled hillsM
By starts and fitsN
The wild Moon sitsN
And the rindles fill and flash and fallB
In the way of her lightO
Through the straitened nightO
When the sea heralds clamour and elves of the warP
In the torrents afarQ
Hold festivalB
-
From ridge to ridgeR
The polar firesS
On the naked spiresT
With a foreign splendour flit and flowB
And clough and caveU
And architraveU
Have a blood coloured glamour on roof and on wallB
Like a nether hallB
In the hells belowB
-
The dead dry lipsV
Of the ledges splitW
By the thunder fitW
And the stress of the sprites of the forked flameI
Anon break outX
With a shriek and a shoutX
Like a hard bitter laughter cracked and thinG
From a ghost with a sinG
Too dark for a nameI
-
And all thro' the yearE
The fierce seas runG
From sun to sunG
Across the face of a vacant worldY
And the Wind flies forthH
From the wild white NorthH
That shivers and harries the heart of thingsZ
And shapes with its wingsZ
A chaos uphurledY
-
Like one who seesA2
A rebel lightY
In the thick of the nightY
As he stumbles and staggers on summits afarQ
Who looks to it stillB
Up hill and hillB
With a steadfast hope though the ways be deepB2
And rough and steepB2
Like a steadfast starQ
-
So I that standY
On the outermost peaksC2
Of peril with cheeksC2
Blue with the salts of a frosty seaC
Have learnt to waitY
With an eye elateY
And a heart intent for the fuller blazeD2
Of the Beauty that raysD2
Like a glimpse for meC
-
Of the Beauty that growsE2
Whenever I hearF2
The winds of FearE
From the tops and the bases of barrenness callB
And the duplicate loreP
Which I learn evermoreP
Is of Harmony filling and rounding the StormI
And the marvellous FormI
That governs allB
