OH come thou power divine	A
Thou lovely spirit with the wings of light	B
And let thy dewy eyes	C
Shed their sweet influences on my soul	D
Oh let me hear thy voice	E
Whose sound thrills with a keener deeper bliss	F
Than the shrill jubilance the bird of joy	G
Pours on the air	H
Or the child babblings of the gladsome rill	I
When issuing first from out its mossy couch	J
In venturesome delight it frisks in glee	K
Adown the hoary mountain silver fraught	L
	-
Oh come	M
Where I do lie drenched in my bitter tears	N
And drowning in dejection haunted by	O
The pale gaunt fears that spectre like rush forth	P
In shadowy swarms from out the brains's black cells	Q
Like glaring madmen in confusion 'scaped	L
From out their dens whirling with shambling limbs	R
In whooping dances through the startled dusk	S
And pouncing wildly on my shiv'ring soul	D
Where in her hour of weakness prostrate she	K
Doth palpitate in terror like a deer	T
That hunted by the swift pursuing hounds	U
Wounded and bleeding sinks upon the ground	L
While with hoarse croaks the ravening birds of prey	V
Wheel close and closer darkening all the air	H
But thou	W
Come breathe upon me with thy balmy breath	X
Like a young wind born in the ros d east	L
That leapeth boy like from the lap of morn	Y
To blow the land all clear from crouching fogs	Z
	-
Thus drive thou hence the phantoms cleanse my soul	D
Thou sweet enchantress with the magic spells	Q
Wails there a heart lone on the populous earth	A2
Like a weak infant lost within the night	L
That crieth piteously in helplessness	B2
And pusheth its blind limbs with gestures scared	L
Against the gloom	C2
Then with an airy footfall glidest thou	W
Gently anigh as softly as a cloud	L
When one alone in crimson glory slides	D2
Along the twilight sky tak'st the bewildered thing	E2
Into thine arms thy fair and downy arms	F2
And rock'st it on thy bosom singing low	G2
An old old song old as the flowers that bloom	C2
And like them ever young till dreams rise up	H2
Like cool white mists from out the heart of hills	I2
And lie dew sweet upon it in its sleep	J2
	-
Sits there an orphan girl with sunken cheeks	K2
And red rimmed eyes high up beneath the leads	L2
Stitching with aching fingers all the night	L
Beside the meagre flame to earn her bread	L
And feed with scanty fuel the low fire	M2
Of life while the shrill blast	L
Dashes the rain against the rattling panes	N2
And down the chimney roars with smoke and wet	L
Then comest thou with memories all dim	O2
And faint with beauty from the childish years	P2
Transposing them into the time to come	M
With a new lustre of the full grown heart	L
Where the bare walls stood with a hungry stare	H
The golden cornfields weighed down by their wealth	Q2
Sway to and fro purling the brook flows on	R2
And like a bit of sky drawn down by love	S2
Wilds of forget me nots run riot round	L
And meadows scent the air and lowing kine	R2
Are driven home and silver geese hiss loud	L
Within the pools and childhood's silver laughs	T2
Ring o'er the green like chimes of silver bells	Q
In the clear atmosphere and through green boughs	U2
Curls up the smoke from many a thatch d roof	V2
Flushed all the land with roseate floods of eve	W2
While large and full glows low the harvest moon	R2
There as through homely fields she lightly walks	X2
And one is by her side and whispers low	G2
And thine oh hope the future's kindling glow	G2
	-
Rocks there a sailor on a reeling ship	Y2
That staggers blindly like a brain struck man	R2
Around the staring cliffs	Z2
While the wild blast the fiddler of the deep	J2
Wakes such mad music on his shrieking strings	A3
That the fierce elements in huge delight	L
Vault from their torpor rearing giant heights	B3
Ha The maned billows from abysmal deeps	B3
Leap like live Alps and catch the tearing clouds	B3
That dizzy haste along the wilds of sky	O
Tossing them round in labyrinthic whirls	B3
To the witch light of lightning and the roar	C3
Of thunder in its crashing clattering fall	D3
Yea while the ocean yawneth for its prey	V
Yelling with starv d jaws around the hull	E3
Man's sole frail guardian from the fangs of death	X
Thou softly float'st	L
Like to the dove that bore the olive branch	F3
Across the waste of waters to his side	L
No longer sees he then the wide wild sea	B3
No longer hears he the tempestuous blast	L
But where the cottage leans against the cliff	G3
The evening star shedding its peace adown	R2
He lifts the latch and with one bound of joy	G
He stands in the low room beside the hearth	H3
Where sits his winsome wife and rocks her babe	I3
With lullabies and heaving one big sob	J3
He strains her to his breast her whom he thought	L
On this side of the grave to see no more	C3
Then does she take him by the hand and leads	B3
Him round from cot to cot where with round cheeks	B3
His children lie sleep flushed 'twixt snow white sheets	B3
And snatching up the youngest in his arms	B3
With an untameable emotion weeps	B3
His kisses on him till it opens wide	L
Large dream dew'd eyes and lisps with cherry mouth	K3
'Oh Dada Dada ' That thou dost for him	O2
	-
Wanders the patriot on a stranger shore	C3
And exile from the land he loved too well	L3
Within his heart	L
The festering wound a thankless nation strikes	B3
When cloud capp'd by its ignorance and fear	T
And goaded on by spurring king and priest	L
Like a mad dog it turns and bites the hand	L
Stretched out to heal	M3
He sees his friends fall off like rotten leaves	B3
That scrambling flee the tempest girted oak	N3
He sees the enemies he boldly braved	L
Forging the red hot slanders wherewithal	D3
To scorch his writhing soul	D
Alone in the wide world alone he stands	B3
Alone save where beyond the roaring seas	B3
His mother weeps and weeps oh God through him	O2
Then blowing from dead deserts the simoom	O2
Of doubt breathes on him with its killing breath	X
With'ring the flowers of faith the groves of youth	O3
And buffeting his heart on cruel waves	B3
Of wind e'en like a quiv'ring autumn leaf	P3
Oh is it strange	Q3
That in the midnight on the dark there grow	G2
Pale faces sweating blood and wrapped in shrouds	B3
Turning reproachful eyes upon his eyes	B3
And asking dumbly 'Wherefore did we die	O
And spill the wine filled goblets of our youth	O3
On barren soil that will not teem with birth '	-
That brides like broken lilies whirled along	R3
By arrowy streams glide past and sadly sob	J3
'Thou'st mowed us down and mowed us down in vain '	-
That infants thrill the silence with their wail	S3
'Why are we fatherless if fatherland	L
Is still denied ' And that his heartstrings quake	T3
With sobs of mothers' hearts that hopeless break	T3
Strange that his purpose that did seem so fair	H
With a white blaze of light around her head	L
Which fell like orient beams on nations' brows	B3
Should wane before his terror stricken eyes	B3
And that in direst agony of soul	D
His noble nature tott'ring on her base	B3
Should question if his deeds were rightful deeds	B3
Stirred up by God's own living breath or pushed	L
By hot ambition's ravenous desire	M2
And if the aim that drew were but a dream	O2
By which his visionary youth was mocked	L
As travellers in the desert by the shine	R2
Of fair false waters At that torturing thought	L
Smells of cold graves struck damp upon his brow	W
Till his wilds eyes grew void and limp his limbs	B3
And he had dropped resistless in the jaws	B3
Of madness or of death	X
Hadst thou not come perennial presence bright	L
As Phosphorus in the dim morning skies	B3
And poured thy morning sunbeams on his heart	L
And blown thy morning breezes on his soul	D
Till freshly born the world and on him smiled	L
With eyes as tender as his mother's were	M2
When sowing love upon his cradled self	U3
Then back plucked he his purpose fixed it firm	O2
In iron steadfastness upon his soul	D
And called on faith where with upturn d eyes	B3
Above the clouds she treads the mountain peaks	B3
And on that love which boundless as the sky	O
Stretches o'er all mankind its azured vault	L
Then rose he set his trustful eyes on high	O
And set his heart among the lowly born	R2
For in the	V3
