Through many winding valleys far inland	A
A maze among the convoluted hills	B
Of rocks up piled and pines on either hand	A
And meadows ribbanded with silver rills	B
Faint mingled up composite sweetnesses	B
Of scented grass and clover and the blue	C
Wild violet hid in muffling moss and fern	D
Keen and diverse another breath cleaves through	C
Familiar as the taste of tears to me	E
As on my lips insistent I discern	D
The salt and bitter kisses of the sea	E
	-
The tide sets up the river mimic fleetnesses	E
Of little wavelets fretted by the shells	E
And shingle of the beach circle and eddy round	F
And smooth themselves perpetually there dwells	E
A spirit of peace in their low murmuring noise	E
Subsiding into quiet as if life were such	G
A struggle with inexorable bound	F
Brief bright despairing never over lept	F
Dying in such wise with a sighing voice	E
Breathed out and after silence absolute	F
	-
Faith eager hope toil tears despair so much	G
The common lot together over swept	F
Into the pitiless unreturning sea	E
The vast immitigable sea	E
	-
I walk beside the river and am mute	F
Under the burden o fits mystery	E
The cricket pipes among the meadow grass	E
His shrill small trumpet of long summer nights	E
Sole minstrel and the lonely heron makes	E
Voyaging slow toward her reedy nest	F
A moving shadow among sunset lights	E
Upon the river's darkening wave which breaks	E
Into a thousand circling shapes that pass	E
Into the one black shadow of the shore	H
	-
O tranquil spirit of the pervading test	F
Brooding along the valleys with shut wings	E
That fold all sentient and inanimate things	E
In their entrenched calm for evermore	H
Save only the unquiet human soul	I
Hear'st thou the far off sound of waves that roll	I
In sighing cadence like a soul in pain	J
Hopeless of heaven or peace beating in vain	J
The shores implacable for some replies	E
To the dumb anguish of eternal doubt	F
As I for the sad thoughts that rise in me	E
Feel'st thou upon thy heavy lidded eyes	E
The salt and bitter kisses of the sea	E
And dost thou draw like me a shuddering breath	K
Among dusk shadows brooding silently	E
	-
Ah me thou hear'st me not I walk alone	L
The doubt within me and the dark without	F
In my sad ears the waves' recurrent moan	L
Sounds like the surges of the sea of death	K
Beating for evermore the shores of time	M
With muttered prophecies which sorrow saith	K
Over and over like a set slow chime	M
Of funeral bells tolling remote forlorn	N
Dirge like the burden Man was made to mourn	N
