Unconscious on thy lap I layA
A spiritual thingB
Stirless until the yet unlooked for dayA
Of human birthC
Should call me from thy starry twilight EarthC
And did thy bosom rock and clear voice singB
I know not now no more a spiritual thingB
Nor then thy breathed AdieuD
I rightly knewD
-
Until those human kind arms caughtE
And nursed my headF
Upon her breast who from the twilight broughtG
This stranger meH
Mother it were yet happiness to beH
Within your arms but now that you are deadF
Your memory sleeps in mine so mine is comfortedI
Though I breathed dear AdieuD
Unheard by youD
-
And I have gathered to my breastJ
Wife mistress childK
Affections insecure but tenderestK
Of all that clutchL
Man's heart with their Too little and Too muchL
O what anxieties what passions wildK
Bind and unbind me what storms never to be stilledK
Until Adieu AdieuK
Breathe the night throughK
-
O when all last farewells are saidK
To these most dearM
O when within my purged heart peace is shedK
When these old sweetK
Humanities move out on hushing feetK
And all is hush then in that silence clearM
Who is it comes again near and near and nearM
Even while the sighed AdieuK
Fades the hush throughK
-
O is it on thy breast I fallN
A spiritual thingB
Once more and hear with ear insensualN
The voice of primal EarthC
Breathed gently as on Eden faint airs forthO
And so contented to thy bosom clingB
Though all those loves are gone nor faithful echoes ringB
Nor fond Adieu AdieuK
My parted spirit pursueK
-
So hidden in green darkness deepP
Feel when I wakeQ
The tides of night and day upon thee sweepP
And know thy forehead bared before the EastK
And hear thy forests hushing in the WestK
And in thy bosom Earth the slow heart shakeQ
But hear no more the infinite forest murmurs breakQ
Into Adieu AdieuK
No more AdieuK
