ACROSS the barren moors the wild wild wind	A
Went sweeping on and with his sobs and shrieks	B
Filled the still night and tore the woof of clouds	C
Through which the moon did shed her cold clear light	D
From age to age a houseless wanderer he	E
Neither of heaven nor yet of earth but doomed	F
For evermore to waver 'twixt the two	G
Begging the moon with moans to take him up	H
Into her charm d calm now with a wail	I
Piteous and low beseeching that the earth	J
Might fold him to her bosom but in vain	K
A lonely outcast frenzied does he storm	L
Wildly from land to land from sea to sea	E
Driving the clouds before him ploughing up	H
The shaking sod splitting the tow'ring masts	M
And laying low the oaks of thousand years	N
But I that night ne'er closed an eye in sleep	O
For I did see him wand'ring o'er the moor	P
A giant phantom lost in midnight gloom	Q
Flitting a restless shadow 'twixt the earth	J
And round orbed moon loose tattered folds of clouds	C
Ragged with ages swept behind as he	E
With Titan strides did bridge the rocky chasms	C
Oh how he sobbed and shrieked and howled and roared	R
Torn with eternal hunger after home	S
So roars the lion from Numidian peaks	C
Swaying his man d head from side to side	T
As low then loud and louder swell his tones	C
Till big with horror thro' the forest lone	U
They roll towards the plain curdling the blood	V
Of flocks and herds returning to the fold	W
So howls the famished wolf across the waste	X
Siberian snows with glare of restless eyes	C
Making a hideous brilliance in the dark	Y
Now worn away the wild wind's voice would die	Z
Fainting with its excess then draw a sigh	Z
Sounding far off and then a soughing wail	I
A roar a shriek to pierce the ears of night	D
So on and on through all the livelong night	D
And all the livelong night I tossed about	A2
His stormy voice it would not let me rest	B2
But woke an echo in me rolling on	C2
Over my boundless waste of soul till all	D2
The weary longings and the phantoms wild	E2
The cravings with their thirst unquenchable	D2
The doubts dark looming in the nether mists	C
Rose up in tumult shrieking with one voice	C
'Is there no goal shall we for aye and aye	Z
Be hurried restlessly through endless space	C
Oh has the storm no nest the soul no home	S
And the foundation stone of all my being	F2
Shook and a flood brackish with tears unshed	E2
Surged o'er and o'er me Tortured I arose	C
Went to the open casement and looked out	E2
There was a lull Upon the gravelled talks	C
And smooth cut sward patches of moonlight lay	D2
The clouds were swept away and sharp and clear	G2
The trees did cast their shadows on the ground	E2
Weird like and moonlit the wan brood of night	E2
Did flit adown the ridges of the moors	C
Up from the river and from out the trees	C
Gliding with noiseless movements in and out	E2
The pale moonlight making my flesh to creep	O
And sick with fear I turned me to my rest	E2
But not to sleep for he on dew d wings	C
Had shyly fled before the moaning wind	E2
Who now arose again in all his strength	H2
And tore along blasting the peace of night	E2
And the old clock did toll the weary hours	C
As one by one night dropped them from her lap	I2
And weary wearily I counted them	J2
With burning eyes and with a burning brain	K
But lo	D2
What golden touch falls on the curtain now	K2
Up from my bed I spring I look I see	C
A trembling light gleam faintly in the east	E2
A trembling light while all around is dark	Y
It grows it deepens into liquid gold	E2
And glowing orange and vermilion bright	E2
It spreads along in billowy ripples like	L2
A glittering ocean when the tide rolls in	M2
Smiling it greets the mist enshrouded earth	J
And draws her up with hill and tree and field	E2
Driving the host of pris'ning fogs to flight	E2
That brooding vengeance fly behind the hills	C
And gath'ring force from night swoop in one mass	C
Of densest black across the swooning earth	J
Trees weep and long drawn sighs float here and there	N2
Have shadows then wiped out the golden light	E2
See see the strangling cloud	E2
Sinks back pierced by the arrow of the dawn	O2
Her blood it trickles on the grass and all	D2
The vague wan children of the night they fly	Z
In dire confusion westward Hark oh hark	Y
The lovely morn now blows his silver horn	P2
And like a lavish prodigal he strews	C
Red roses thick as sands on amber shores	C
Along heaven's eastern floor for now the sun	Q2
The radiant conqueror of the night steps forth	R2
Upon the gorgeous path with dazzling shield	E2
Greeted by pealing chants as he begins	C
His grand triumphal march hills vales and streams	C
Laugh glowing up to him the heavy tears	C
Wept through the night now sparkle on the grass	C
Like orient pearls well knowing that the sun	Q2
Will kiss them all away the merry birds	C
Shake out their plumage wet with drops and flit	E2
In airy gambols twitt'ring to and fro	D2
The flowers smile again and shyly play	D2
With morning rays	C
But in the west a white mist like a dream	S2
With languid rooks floats o'er the winding stream	S2
And wearied out the wind a phantom strides	C
On with the faded moon and flick'ring star	T2
Towards the hazy stretch of western moors	C
His strong voice dying slowly as he goes	C
But by my side a radiant spirit stood	E2
A sunbeam whispering with a smile 'Behold	E2
After the darkness still there falls a light	E2
After the storm a tranc d calm there falls	C
There is a light yea and there is a rest '	U2
And all the weary and the restless gusts	C
That had been shaking at my roots of being	F2
Were lulled a silence came and dewy sleep	O
Fell on my burning eyes and burning brain	K
