I	A
	-
Come up dear chosen morning come	B
Blessing the air with light	C
And bid the sky repent of being dark	D
Let all the spaces round the world be white	C
And give the earth her green again	E
Into new hours of beautiful delight	C
Out of the shadow where she has lain	F
Bring the earth awake for glee	G
Shining with dews as fresh and clear	H
As my beloved's voice upon the air	I
For now O morning chosen of all days on thee	G
A wondrous duty lies	J
There was an evening that did loveliness foretell	K
Thence upon thee O chosen morn it fell	K
To fashion into perfect destiny	G
The radiant prophecy	G
For in an evening of young moon that went	L
Filling the moist air with a rosy fire	M
I and my beloved knew our love	N
And knew that thou O morning wouldst arise	J
To give us knowledge of achieved desire	M
For standing stricken with astonishment	O
Half terrified in the delight	C
Even as the moon did into clear air move	P
And made a golden light	C
Lo there croucht up against it a dark hill	Q
A monstrous back of earth a spine	R
Of hunch d rock furred with great growth of pine	R
Lay like a beast snout in its paws asleep	S
Yet in its sleeping seemed it miserable	T
As though strong fear must always keep	S
Hold of its heart and drive its blood in dream	U
Yea for to our new love did it not seem	U
That dark and quiet length of hill	Q
The sleeping grief of the world Out of it we	G
Had like imaginations stept to be	G
Beauty and golden wonder and for the lovely fear	H
Of coming perfect joy had changed	V
The terror that dreamt there	I
And now the golden moon had turned	W
To shining white white as our souls that burned	W
With vision of our prophecy assured	X
Suddenly white was the moon but she	G
At once did on a woven modesty	G
Of cloud and soon went in obscured	X
And we were dark and vanisht that strange hill	Q
But yet it was not long before	Y
There opened in the sky a narrow door	Y
Made with pearl lintel and pearl sill	Q
And the earth's night seem'd pressing there	I
All as a beggar on some festival would peer	H
To gaze into a room of light beyond	Z
The hidden silver splendour of the moon	A2
Yea and we also we	G
Long gazed wistfully	G
Towards thee O morning come at last	B2
And towards the light that thou wilt pour upon us soon	A2

	-
O soul who still art strange to sense	C2
Who often against beauty wouldst complain	F
Doubting between joy and pain	F
If like the startling touch of something keen	D2
Against thee it hath been	E2
To follow from an upland height	C
The swift sun hunting rain	F
Across the April meadows of a plain	F
Until the fields would flash into the air	I
Their joyous green like emeralds alight	C
Or when in the blue of night's mid noon	A2
The burning naked moon	A2
Draws to a brink of cloudy weather near	H
A breadth of snow firm and soft as a wing	F2
Stretcht out over a wind that gently goes	G2
Through the white sleep of snowy cloud there grows	G2
An azure border'd shining ring	F2
The gleaming dream of the approaching joy of her	M
What now wilt thou do Soul What now	H2
If with such things as these troubled thou wert	I2
How wilt thou now endure or how	H2
Not now be strangely hurt	I2
When utter beauty must come closer to thee	G
Than even anger or fear could be	G
When thou like metal in a kiln must lie	A
Seized by beauty's mightily able flame	J2
Enjoyed by beauty as by the ruthless glee	G
Of an unescapable power	M
Obeying beauty as air obeys a cry	A
Yea one thing made of beauty and thee	G
As steel and a white heat are made the same	J2
Ah but I know how this infirmity	G
Will fail and be not no not memory	G
When I begin the marvellous hour	M
This only is my heart's strain'd eagerness	K2
Long waiting for its bliss	L2
But from those other fears from those	G2
That keep to Love so close	M2
From fears that are the shadow of delight	C
Hide me O joys make them unknown to night	C

Thou bright God that in dream earnest to me last night	C
Thou with the flesh made of a golden light	C
Knew I not thee thee and thy heart	N2
Knew I not well God who thou wert	I2
Yea and my soul divinely understood	O2
The light that was beneath thee a ground	P2
The golden light that cover'd thee round	P2
Turning my sleep to a fiery morn	Q2
Was as a heavenly oath there sworn	Q2
Promising me an immortal good	O2
Well I knew thee God of Marriages thee and thy flame	J2
Ah but wherefore beside thee came	J2
That fearful sight of another mood	R2
Why in thy light to thy hand chained	S2
Towards me its bondage terribly strained	S2
Why came with thee that dreadful hound	P2
The wild hound Fear black ravenous and gaunt	T2
Why him with thee should thy dear light surround	P2
Why broughtest thou that beast to haunt	T2
The blissful footsteps of my golden dream	U
All shadowy black the body dread	U2
All frenzied fire the head	U2
The hunger of its mouth a hollow crimson flame	J2
The hatred in its eyes a blaze	V2
Fierce and green stabbing the ruddy glaze	V2
And sharp white jetting fire the teeth snarl'd at me	G
And white the dribbling rage of froth	W2
A throat that gaped to bay and paws working violently	G
Yet soundless all as a winging moth	W2
Tugging towards me famishing for my heart	N2
Even while thou O golden god wert still	Q
Looking the beautiful kindness of thy will	Q
Into my soul even then must I be	G
With thy bright promise looking at me	G
Then bitterly of that hound afraid	X2
Darkness I know attendeth bright	C
And light comes not but shadow comes	Y2
And heart must know if it know thy light	C
Thy wild hound Fear the shadow of love's delight	C
Yea is it thus Are we so made	X2
Of death and darkness that even thou	H2
O golden God of the joys of love	N
Thy mind to us canst only prove	P
The glorious devices of thy mind	Z2
By so revealing how thy journeying here	A3
Through this mortality doth closely bind	Z2
Thy brightness to the shadow of dreadful Fear	H
Ah no it shall not be Thy joyous light	C
Shall hide me from the hunger of fear to night	C

For wonderfully to live I now begin	E2
So that the darkness which accompanies	B3
Our being here is fasten'd up within	E2
The power of light that holdeth me	G
And from these shining chains to see	G
My joy with bold misliking eyes	J
The shrouded figure will not dare arise	J
For henceforth from to night	C
I am wholly gone into the bright	C
Safety of the beauty of love	P
Not only all my waking vigours plied	C3
Under the searching glory of love	P
But knowing myself with love all satisfied	C3
Even when my life is hidden in sleep	S
As high clouds to themselves that keep	S
The moon's white company are all possest	C3
Silverly with the presence of their guest	C3
Or as a darken'd room	D3
That hath within it roses whence the air	I
And quietness are taken everywhere	I
Deliciously by sweet perfume	D3
