The poet's song and the bird's	A
And the waters' that chant as they run	B
And the waves' that kiss the beach	C
And the wind's they are but one	B
He who may read their words	A
And the secret hid in each	C
May know the solemn monochords	A
That breathe in vast still places	A
And the voices of myriad races	A
Shy and far off from man	D
That hide in shadow and sun	B
And are seen but of him who can	D
To him the awful face is shown	E
Swathed in a cloud wind blown	E
Of Him who from His secret throne	E
In some void shadowy and unknown land	F
Comes forth to lay His mighty hand	F
On the sounding organ keys	A
That play deep thunder marches	A
Like the rush and the roar of seas	A
And fill the cavernous arches	A
Of antique wildernesses hoary	G
With a long resounding roll	H
As they fill man's listening soul	H
With a shuddering sense of might and glory	G
	-
These he shall hear and more than these	A
In bird's song and in poet's scroll	H
Something underneath the whole	H
A music yet unbreathed unsung	I
Unwritten incommunicable	H
Whispered from no mortal tongue	I
What seer nor prophet may rehearse	A
In oracle or Delphic fable	H
Since the old dead gods were young	I
And made with man their dwelling place	A
But he shall hear of all his race	A
The dread wherefore of life and death	J
He shall behold the ultimates	A
Of fears and doubts and scores and hates	A
And the sure final crown of faith	K
And in his ear the rhythmic verse	A
Shall sound the steps of that beyond	L
Serene that hastens not nor waits	A
But holds within its depths profound	M
The mystery of all lives all fates	A
The secret of the universe	A
