I	A
	-
Beneath my skull bone and my hair	B
Covered like a poisonous well	C
There is a land if you looked there	B
What you saw you'd quail to tell	C
You that sit there smiling you	D
Know that what I say is true	D
	-
My head is very small to touch	E
I feel it all from front to back	F
An ear d round that weighs not much	E
Eyes nose holes and a pulpy crack	F
Oh how small how small it is	G
How could countries be in this	H
	-
Yet when I watch with eyelids shut	I
It glimmers forth now dark now clear	J
The city of Cis Occiput	I
The marshes and the writhing mere	J
The land that every man I see	K
Knows in himself but not in me	K
	-
	-
II	A
	-
Upon the borders of the weald	I
I walk there first when I step in	L
Set in green wood and smiling field	I
The city stands unstained of sin	L
White thoughts and wishes pure	M
Walk the streets with steps demure	M
	-
In its clean groves and spacious halls	N
The quiet eyed inhabitants	O
Hold innocent sunny festivals	P
And mingle in decorous dance	Q
Things that destroy distort deface	R
Come never to that lovely place	R
	-
Never could evil enter thither	M
It could not live in that sweet air	M
The shadow of an ill deed must wither	M
And fall away to nothing there	M
You would say as there you stand	I
That all was beauty in the land	I
	-
	-
	-
But go you out beyond the gateway	S
Cleave you the woods and pass the plain	T
Cross you the frontier down and straightway	S
The trees will end the grass will wane	T
And you will come to a wilderness	U
Of sticks and parch d barrenness	U
	-
The middle of the land is this	U
A tawny desert midmost set	I
Barren of living things it is	U
Saving at night some vampires flit	I
That nest them in the farther marish	V
Where all save vilest things must perish	V
	-
Here in this reedy marsh of green	W
And oily pools swarm insects fat	I
And birds of prey and beasts obscene	W
Things that the traveller shudders at	I
All cunning things that creep and fly	A
To suck men's blood until they die	A
	-
Rarely from hence does aught escape	X
Into the world of outer light	I
But now and then some sable shape	X
Outward will dash in sudden flight	I
And men stand stonied or distraught	I
To know the loathly deed or thought	I
	-
But ah beyond the marsh you reach	Y
A purulent place more vile than all	Z
A festering lake too foul for speech	Y
Rotten and black with coils acrawl	Z
Where writhe with lecherous squeakings shrill	Z
Horrors that make the heart stand still	Z
	-
There 'neath a heaven diseased it lies	U
The mere alive with slimy worms	U
With perverse terrible infamies	U
And murders and repulsive forms	U
That have no name but slide here deep	A2
Whilst I their holder silence keep	A2
