Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDEEDAAFFGGHHI JKKHLMHLLMNNKLOOM

Thou oh thouA
Thou of the chorded shell and golden plectrum thouA
Of the dark eyes and pale pacific browA
Music who by the plangent wavesB
Or in the echoing night of labyrinthine cavesB
Or on God's mountains lonely as the starsC
Touchest reverberant barsC
Of immemorial sorrow and amazeD
Keeping regret and memory awakeE
And all the immortal acheE
Of love that leans upon the past's sweet daysD
In retrospection now oh nowA
Interpreter and heart physician thouA
Who gazest on the heaven and the hellF
Of life and singest each as wellF
Touch with thy all mellifluous finger tipsG
Or thy melodious lipsG
This sickness named my soulH
Making it wholeH
As is an echo of a chordI
Or some symphonic wordJ
Or sweet vibrating sighK
That deep resurgent still doth rise and dieK
On thy voluminous rollH
Part of the beauty and the mysteryL
That axles Earth with song and as a slaveM
Swings it around and 'round on each sonorous poleH
'Mid spheric harmonyL
And choral majestyL
And diapasoning of wind and waveM
And speeds it on its far elliptic wayN
'Mid vasty anthemings of night and dayN
O cosmic cryK
Of two eternities wherein we seeL
The phantasms Death and LifeO
At endless strifeO
Above the silence of a monster graveM
