Lying beneath a hundred seas of sleep	A
With all those heavy waves flowing over me	B
And I unconscious of the rolling night	C
Until slowly from deep to lesser deep	A
Risen I felt the wandering seas no longer cover me	B
But only air and light	C
	-
It was a sleep	A
So dark and so bewilderingly deep	A
That only death's were deeper or completer	D
And none when I awoke stranger or sweeter	D
Awake the strangeness still hung over me	B
As I with far strayed senses stared at the light	C
	-
I and who was I	E
Saw oh with what unaccustomed eye	E
The room was strange and everything was strange	F
Like a strange room entered by wild moonlight	C
And yet familiar as the light swept over me	B
And I rose from the night	C
	-
Strange yet stranger I	E
And as one climbs from water up to land	G
Fumbling for weedy steps with foot and hand	G
So I for yesterdays whereon to climb	H
To this remote and new struck isle of time	H
But I found not myself nor yesterday	I
	-
Until slowly from deep to lesser deep	A
Risen I felt the seas no longer over me	B
But only air and light	C
Yes like one clutching at a ring I heard	J
The household noises as they stirred	J
And holding fast I wondered What were they	I
	-
I felt a strange hand lying at my side	K
Limp and cool I touched it and knew it mine	L
A murmur and I remembered how the wind died	K
In the near aspens Then	M
Strange things were no more strange	F
I travelled among common thoughts again	M
	-
And felt the new forged links of that strong chain	N
That binds me to myself and this to day	I
To yesterday I heard it rattling near	D
With a no more astonished ear	D
And I had lost the strangeness of that sleep	A
No more the long night rolled its great seas over me	B
	-
O too anxious I	E
For in this press of things familiar	D
I have lost all that clung	O
Round me awaking of strangeness and such sweetness	P
Nothing now is strange	F
Except the man that woke and then was I	E
