Rhyme Scheme: ABACCBBDD EFGHHFIDD JKKLLKKKK KMKKKMMKK NBNCOBBKK PQPKKQQKKUnconscious on thy lap I lay | A |
A spiritual thing | B |
Stirless until the yet unlooked for day | A |
Of human birth | C |
Should call me from thy starry twilight Earth | C |
And did thy bosom rock and clear voice sing | B |
I know not now no more a spiritual thing | B |
Nor then thy breathed Adieu | D |
I rightly knew | D |
- | |
Until those human kind arms caught | E |
And nursed my head | F |
Upon her breast who from the twilight brought | G |
This stranger me | H |
Mother it were yet happiness to be | H |
Within your arms but now that you are dead | F |
Your memory sleeps in mine so mine is comforted | I |
Though I breathed dear Adieu | D |
Unheard by you | D |
- | |
And I have gathered to my breast | J |
Wife mistress child | K |
Affections insecure but tenderest | K |
Of all that clutch | L |
Man's heart with their Too little and Too much | L |
O what anxieties what passions wild | K |
Bind and unbind me what storms never to be stilled | K |
Until Adieu Adieu | K |
Breathe the night through | K |
- | |
O when all last farewells are said | K |
To these most dear | M |
O when within my purged heart peace is shed | K |
When these old sweet | K |
Humanities move out on hushing feet | K |
And all is hush then in that silence clear | M |
Who is it comes again near and near and near | M |
Even while the sighed Adieu | K |
Fades the hush through | K |
- | |
O is it on thy breast I fall | N |
A spiritual thing | B |
Once more and hear with ear insensual | N |
The voice of primal Earth | C |
Breathed gently as on Eden faint airs forth | O |
And so contented to thy bosom cling | B |
Though all those loves are gone nor faithful echoes ring | B |
Nor fond Adieu Adieu | K |
My parted spirit pursue | K |
- | |
So hidden in green darkness deep | P |
Feel when I wake | Q |
The tides of night and day upon thee sweep | P |
And know thy forehead bared before the East | K |
And hear thy forests hushing in the West | K |
And in thy bosom Earth the slow heart shake | Q |
But hear no more the infinite forest murmurs break | Q |
Into Adieu Adieu | K |
No more Adieu | K |
