As I stand waiting in the rain	A
For the foggy hoot of the London train	A
Gazing at silent wall and lamp	B
And post and rail and platform damp	B
What is this power that comes to my sight	C
That I see a night without the night	C
That I see them clear yet look them through	D
The silvery things and the darkly blue	D
That the solid wall seems soft as death	E
A wavering and unanchored wraith	E
And rails that shine and stones that stream	F
Unsubstantial as a dream	F
What sudden door has opened so	G
What hand has passed that I should know	G
This moving vision not a trance	H
That melts the globe of circumstance	H
This sight that marks not least or most	I
And makes a stone a passing ghost	I
Is it that a year ago	G
I stood upon this self same spot	J
Is it that since a year ago	G
The place and I have altered not	J
Is it that I half forgot	J
A year ago and all despised	K
For a space the things that I had prized	K
The race of life the glittering show	G
Is it that now a year has passed	L
In vain pursuit of glittering things	M
In fruitless searching shouting running	N
And greedy lies and candour cunning	N
Here as I stand the year above	O
Sudden the heats and the strivings fail	P
And fall away a fluctuant veil	P
And the fixed familiar stones restore	Q
The old appearance buried core	Q
The unmoving and essential me	R
The eternal personality	R
Alone enduring first and last	L
	-
No this I have known in other ways	S
In other places other days	S
Not only here on this one peak	T
Do fixity and beauty speak	T
Of the delusiveness of change	U
Of the transparency of form	V
The bootless stress of minds that range	U
The awful calm behind the storm	V
In many places many days	S
The invaded soul receives the rays	S
Of countries she was nurtured in	W
Speaks in her silent language strange	U
To that beyond which is her kin	W
Even in peopled streets at times	X
A metaphysic arm is thrust	Y
Through the partitioning fabric thin	W
And tears away the darkening pall	Z
Cast by the bright phenomenal	A2
And clears the obscur d spirit's mirror	B2
From shadows of deceptive error	B2
And shows the bells and all their ringing	N
And all the crowds and all their singing	N
Carillons that are nothing's chimes	X
And dust that is not even dust	Y
	-
But rarely hold I converse thus	C2
Where shapes are bright and clamorous	C2
More often comes the word divine	D2
In places motionless and far	E2
Beneath the white peculiar shine	D2
Of sunless summer afternoons	C2
At eventide on pale lagoons	C2
Where hangs reflected one pale star	E2
Or deep in the green solitudes	C2
Of still erect entranc d woods	C2
	-
O in the woods alone lying	N
Scarce a bough in the wind sighing	N
Gaze I long with fervid power	B2
At leaf and branch and grass and flower	B2
Breathe I breaths of trembling sight	C
Shed from great urns of green delight	C
Take I draughts and drink them up	F2
Poured from many a stalk and cup	F2
Now do I burn for nothing more	Q
Than thus to gaze thus to adore	Q
This exquisiteness of nature ever	B2
In silence	C2
But with instant light	C
Rends the film with joy I quiver	B2
To see with new celestial sight	C
Flower and leaf and grass and tree	R
Doomed barks on an eternal sea	R
Flit phantom like as transient smoke	G2
Beauty herself her spell has broke	G2
Beauty the herald and the lure	H2
Her message told may not endure	H2
Her portal opened she has died	I2
Supreme immortal suicide	I2
Yes sleepless nature soundless flings	C2
Invisible grapples round the soul	J2
Drawing her through the web of things	C2
To the primal end of her journeyings	C2
Her ultimate and constant pole	J2
	-
For Beauty with her hands that beckon	K2
Is but the Prophet of a Higher	B2
A flaming and ephemeral beacon	K2
A Phoenix perishing by fire	B2
Herself from us herself estranges	C2
Herself her mighty tale doth kill	L2
That all things change yet nothing changes	C2
That all things move yet all are still	L2
	-
I cannot sink I cannot climb	M2
Now that I see my ancient dwelling	N
The central orb untouched of time	M2
And taste a peace all bliss excelling	N
Now I have broken Beauty's wall	N2
Now that my kindred world I hold	O2
I care not though the cities fall	N2
And the green earth go cold	O2
