For I must sing of all I feel and knowA
Waiting with Memnon passive near the palmsB
Until the heavenly light doth dawn and growA
And thrill my silence into mystic psalmsC
From unknown realms the wind streams sad or gayD
The trees give voice responsive to its swayD
-
For I must sing of mountains deserts seasE
Of rivers ever flowing ever flowingF
Of beasts and birds of grass and flowers and treesE
Forever fading and forever growingF
Of calm and storm of night and eve and noonG
Of boundless space and sun and stars and moonG
-
And of the secret sympathies that bindH
All beings to their wondrous dwelling placeI
And of the perfect Unity enshrinedH
In omnipresence throughout time and spaceI
Alike informing with its full controlJ
The dust the stars the worm the human soulJ
-
And most supremely of my human kinK
Their thoughts and deeds their valors and their fearsL
Their griefs and joys their virtue and their sinK
Their feasts and wars their cradles and their biersM
Their temples prisons homes and ships and martsN
The subtlest windings of their brains and heartsN
-
So rich and sweet is Life And what is DeathO
The tranquil slumbers dear and strange and boonG
That feed at whiles our waking being's breathO
The solemn midnight of this glorious noonG
With countless distant stars and each a sunP
Revealed harmonious with our daily oneP
