The fagots blazed the caldron's smoke	A
Up through the green wood curled	B
'Bring honey from the hollow oak	A
Bring milky sap ' the brewers spoke	A
In the childhood of the world	B
	-
And brewed they well or brewed they ill	C
The priests thrust in their rods	D
First tasted and then drank their fill	C
And shouted with one voice and will	C
'Behold the drink of gods '	-
	-
They drank and to in heart and brain	E
A new glad life began	F
The gray of hair grew young again	G
The sick man laughed away his pain	E
The cripple leaped and ran	F
	-
'Drink mortals what the gods have sent	H
Forget your long annoy '	-
So sang the priests From tent to tent	H
The Soma's sacred madness went	H
A storm of drunken joy	I
	-
Then knew each rapt inebriate	J
A winged and glorious birth	K
Soared upward with strange joy elate	J
Beat with dazed head Varuna's gate	J
And sobered sank to earth	K
	-
The land with Soma's praises rang	L
On Gihon's banks of shade	M
Its hymns the dusky maidens sang	L
In joy of life or mortal pang	L
All men to Soma prayed	M
	-
The morning twilight of the race	N
Sends down these matin psalms	O
And still with wondering eyes we trace	N
The simple prayers to Soma's grace	N
That Vedic verse embalms	N
	-
As in that child world's early year	P
Each after age has striven	Q
By music incense vigils drear	P
And trance to bring the skies more near	P
Or lift men up to heaven	Q
	-
Some fever of the blood and brain	E
Some self exalting spell	R
The scourger's keen delight of pain	E
The Dervish dance the Orphic strain	E
The wild haired Bacchant's yell	R
	-
The desert's hair grown hermit sunk	S
The saner brute below	T
The naked Santon hashish drunk	S
The cloister madness of the monk	S
The fakir's torture show	T
	-
And yet the past comes round again	G
And new doth old fulfil	T
In sensual transports wild as vain	E
We brew in many a Christian fane	E
The heathen Soma still	T
	-
Dear Lord and Father of mankind	U
Forgive our foolish ways	N
Reclothe us in our rightful mind	U
In purer lives Thy service find	U
In deeper reverence praise	N
	-
In simple trust like theirs who heard	V
Beside the Syrian sea	N
The gracious calling of the Lord	W
Let us like them without a word	V
Rise up and follow Thee	N
	-
O Sabbath rest by Galilee	N
O calm of hills above	X
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee	N
The silence of eternity	N
Interpreted by love	X
	-
With that deep hush subduing all	T
Our words and works that drown	Y
The tender whisper of Thy call	T
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall	T
As fell Thy manna down	Y
	-
Drop Thy still dews of quietness	N
Till all our strivings cease	N
Take from our souls the strain and stress	N
And let our ordered lives confess	N
The beauty of Thy peace	N
	-
Breathe through the heats of our desire	P
Thy coolness and Thy balm	Z
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire	P
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire	P
O still small voice of calm	Z
