In those dark mornings deep in June	A
When brooding birds stir in the nest	B
And heavy dews slip down the leaves	C
And drop into the rose's breast	B
I woke and looked into the east	D
And saw no sign of coming day	E
The pale cold morning rolled in mist	F
Slept on the hill tops far away	E
	-
My window looked into the dawn	G
The slumbering dawn that was so nigh	H
The shadow of the hills was drawn	G
In waving lines against the sky	H
But warmer hues began to tip	I
The edges of the mountain cloud	J
And morning's rosy cheek and lip	I
Glowed softly through her snow pale shroud	J
	-
I turned and gazed into the west	B
The river murmured in my ear	K
'Gone night and silence dreams and rest	B
Another day of toil is here '	-
	-
I would I had a fairy boat	L
With every swift bright sail unfurled	M
To fly beyond the west and float	L
With night into the under world	M
	-
My head sank lower on my arm	N
My eyes re closed in sleepy bliss	O
While fancy wove her subtle charm	N
My dream did shape itself to this	O
Upon a shore whose sands of gold	P
Sloped down into a silver sea	Q
Her radiant pinions all unrolled	P
A fairy boat did wait for me	Q
	-
And Night with all her splendours pale	R
Did walk before me on the deep	S
The stars looked through her azure veil	R
And hand in hand with her went Sleep	S
Beyond the hills into the night	P
My boat went drifting like the wind	P
The stars paled round us and the light	P
Died on our pathway far behind	P
	-
And cloudy shapes with rippling hair	T
That shaded eyes of dreamy calm	U
Formed and dissolved into the air	T
Which laved my brow with waves of balm	U
	-
Dusk arms upreaching from the sea	Q
And shadow faces seen and gone	G
Toward an isle did beckon me	Q
Beyond the farthest gates of dawn	G
	-
We drew towards that lonely shore	V
With still and measured motion slow	W
I saw the hills lift evermore	V
Their massive foreheads crowned with snow	W
And underneath like moonlight fair	T
I saw a hundred fathoms deep	S
The crystal columns light as air	T
That undergird the Isle of Sleep	S
	-
And spire and dome and architrave	X
And pictured window's rainbow gleams	Y
Upshone from out the charmed wave	X
Afloat upon a sea of dreams	Y
The sea moss wove her braided locks	Z
Along the beach in chains afar	A2
And lilies smiled among the rocks	Z
Peerless and perfect as a star	A2
	-
A wood of asphodel below	W
Uprose as still and sweet as death	B2
And gliding shapes moved to and fro	W
I watched them with suspended breath	B2
	-
Lost loved ones met and clasped me here	K
I looked into their eyes serene	C2
They spake to me and I did hear	K
As I were walking in a dream	D2
	-
But even then a wind arose	E2
That swept the morning mists away	E
And showed unfolding like a rose	E2
The bright flower of the perfect day	E
And fading faded like a cloud	P
The hands I clasped like wreaths of smoke	F2
While chanticleer crowed shrill and loud	P
And wan and 'wildered I awoke	F2
