Mostly in a dull rotation	A
We bear our loads and eat and drink and sleep	B
Feeling no tears knowing no meditation	A
Too tired to think too clogged with earth to weep	B
	-
Dimly convinced poor groping wretches	C
Like eyeless insects in a murky pond	D
That out and out this city stretches	C
Away away and there is no beyond	D
	-
No larger earth no loftier heaven	A
No cleaner gentler airs to breathe And yet	E
Even to us sometimes is given	A
Visions of things we other times forget	E
	-
Some day is done its labour ended	F
And as we sit and brood at windows high	G
A steady wind from far descended	F
Blows off the filth that hid the deeper sky	G
	-
There are the empty waiting spaces	C
We watch we watch unwinking pale and dumb	H
Till gliding up with noiseless paces	C
Night covers all the wide arch Night has come	H
	-
Not that sick false night of the city	I
Lurid and low and yellow and obscene	J
But mother Night pure full of pity	I
The star strewn Night blue potent and serene	J
	-
O as we gaze the clamour ceases	C
The turbid world around grows dim and small	K
The soft shed influence releases	C
Our shrouded spirits from their dusty pall	L
	-
No more we hear the turbulent traffic	M
Not scorned but unremembered is the day	N
The Night all luminous and seraphic	M
Has brushed its heavy memories away	N
	-
The great blue Night so clear and kindly	I
The little stars so wide eyed and so still	O
Open a door for souls that blindly	I
Had wandered tunnelling the endless hill	O
	-
They draw the long untraversed portal	P
Our souls slip out and tremble and expand	Q
The immortal feels for the immortal	P
The eternal holds the eternal by the hand	Q
	-
Impalpably we are led and lifted	F
Softly we shake into the gulf of blue	R
The last environing veil is rifted	F
And lost horizons float into our view	R
	-
Lost lands lone seas lands that afar gleam	S
With a miraculous beauty faint yet clear	T
Forgotten lands of night and star gleam	S
Seas that are somewhere but that are not here	U
	-
Borne without effort or endeavour	V
Swifter and more ethereal than the wind	F
In level track we stream whilst ever	V
The fair pale panorama rolls behind	F
	-
Now fleets below a tranc d moorland	F
A sweep of glimmering immobility	F
Now craggy cliff and dented foreland	F
Pass back and there beyond unfolds the sea	F
	-
Now wastes of water heaving drawing	M
Great darkling tracts of patterned restlessness	C
With whitened waves round rough rocks mawing	M
And licking islands in their fierce caress	C
	-
Now coasts with capes and ribboned beaches	C
Set silent 'neath the canopy sapphirine	J
And estuaries and river reaches	C
Phantasmal silver in the night's soft shine	J
	-
	-
	-
Ah these fair woods the spirit crosses	C
These quiet lakes these stretched dreaming fields	C
These undulate downs with piny bosses	C
Pointing the ridges of their sloping shields	C
	-
These valleys and these heights that screen them	W
These tawnier sands where grass and tree are not	F
Ah we have known them we have seen them	W
We saw them long ago and we forgot	F
	-
We know them all these placid countries	C
And what the pathway is and what the goal	X
These are the gates and these the sentries	C
That guard that ancient fortress of the soul	X
	-
And we speed onward flying flying	M
Over the sundering waves of hill and plain	J
To where they rear their heads undying	M
The unnamed mountains of old days again	J
	-
The snows upon their calm still summits	C
The chasms the files of trees that foot the snow	J
Curving like inky frozen comets	C
Into the forest ocean spread below	J
	-
The glisten where the peaks are hoarest	F
The soundless darkness of the sunken vales	C
The folding leagues of shadowy forest	F
Edge beyond edge till all distinctness fails	C
	-
So invulnerable it is so deathless	C
So floods the air the loveliness of it	F
That we stay dazzled rapt and breathless	C
Our beings ebbing to the infinite	F
	-
There as we pause there as we hover	V
Still poised in ecstasy a sudden light	F
Breaks in our eyes and we discover	V
We sit at windows gazing to the night	F
	-
Wistful and tired with eyes a tingle	P
Where still the sting of Beauty faintly smarts	C
But with our mute regrets there mingle	P
Thanks for the resurrection of our hearts	C
	-
O night so great that will not mock us	C
O stars so wise that understand the weak	M
O vast consoling hands that rock us	C
O strong and perfect tongues that speak	M
	-
O night enrobed in azure splendour	V
O whispering stars whose radiance falls like dew	F
O mighty presences and tender	V
You have given us back the dreams our childhood knew	F
	-
Lulled by your visions without number	V
We seek our beds content and void of pain	J
And dreaming drowse and dreaming slumber	V
And dreaming wake to see the day again	J
