ACROSS bleak widths of broken sea	A
A fierce north easter breaks	B
And makes a thunder on the lea	A
A whiteness of the lakes	B
Here while beyond the rainy stream	C
The wild winds sobbing blow	D
I see the river of my dream	C
Four wasted years ago	D
	-
Narrara of the waterfalls	E
The darling of the hills	F
Whose home is under mountain walls	E
By many luted rills	E
Her bright green nooks and channels cool	G
I never more may see	E
But ah the Past was beautiful	H
The sights that used to be	E
	-
There was a rock pool in a glen	I
Beyond Narrara s sands	E
The mountains shut it in from men	I
In flowerful fairy lands	E
But once we found its dwelling place	E
The lovely and the lone	J
And in a dream I stooped to trace	E
Our names upon a stone	J
	-
Above us where the star like moss	E
Shone on the wet green wall	K
That spanned the straitened stream across	E
We saw the waterfall	K
A silver singer far away	L
By folded hills and hoar	M
Its voice is in the woods to day	L
A voice I hear no more	M
	-
I wonder if the leaves that screen	N
The rock pool of the past	O
Are yet as soft and cool and green	N
As when we saw them last	O
I wonder if that tender thing	P
The moss has overgrown	J
The letters by the limpid spring	P
Our names upon the stone	J
	-
Across the face of scenes we know	D
There may have come a change	Q
The places seen four years ago	D
Perhaps would now look strange	Q
To you indeed they cannot be	E
What haply once they were	R
A friend beloved by you and me	E
No more will greet us there	S
	-
Because I know the filial grief	T
That shrinks beneath the touch	U
The noble love whose words are brief	T
I will not say too much	U
But often when the night winds strike	V
Across the sighing rills	E
I think of him whose life was like	V
The rock pool s in the hills	E
	-
A beauty like the light of song	W
Is in my dreams that show	D
The grand old man who lived so long	W
As spotless as the snow	D
A fitting garland for the dead	X
I cannot compass yet	Y
But many things he did and said	X
I never will forget	Y
	-
In dells where once we used to rove	Z
The slow sad water grieves	E
And ever comes from glimmering grove	Z
The liturgy of leaves	E
But time and toil have marked my face	E
My heart has older grown	J
Since in the woods I stooped to trace	E
Our names upon the stone	J
