Coldly sadly descends	A
The autumn evening The field	B
Strewn with its dank yellow drifts	C
Of wither'd leaves and the elms	D
Fade into dimness apace	E
Silent hardly a shout	F
From a few boys late at their play	G
The lights come out in the street	H
In the school room windows but cold	I
Solemn unlighted austere	J
Through the gathering darkness arise	K
The chapel walls in whose bound	L
Thou my father art laid	M
	-
There thou dost lie in the gloom	N
Of the autumn evening But ah	O
That word gloom to my mind	P
Brings thee back in the light	Q
Of thy radiant vigour again	R
In the gloom of November we pass'd	S
Days not dark at thy side	T
Seasons impair'd not the ray	G
Of thy buoyant cheerfulness clear	J
Such thou wast and I stand	U
In the autumn evening and think	V
Of bygone autumns with thee	W
	-
Fifteen years have gone round	L
Since thou arosest to tread	X
In the summer morning the road	Y
Of death at a call unforeseen	Z
Sudden For fifteen years	A2
We who till then in thy shade	M
Rested as under the boughs	B2
Of a mighty oak have endured	C2
Sunshine and rain as we might	Q
Bare unshaded alone	D2
Lacking the shelter of thee	W
	-
O strong soul by what shore	E2
Tarriest thou now For that force	F2
Surely has not been left vain	G2
Somewhere surely afar	H2
In the sounding labour house vast	S
Of being is practised that strength	I2
Zealous beneficent firm	J2
	-
Yes in some far shining sphere	J
Conscious or not of the past	S
Still thou performest the word	K2
Of the Spirit in whom thou dost live	L2
Prompt unwearied as here	M2
Still thou upraisest with zeal	N2
The humble good from the ground	L
Sternly repressest the bad	O2
Still like a trumpet dost rouse	P2
Those who with half open eyes	K
Tread the border land dim	Q2
'Twixt vice and virtue reviv'st	O2
Succourest this was thy work	R2
This was thy life upon earth	S2
	-
What is the course of the life	T2
Of mortal men on the earth	S2
Most men eddy about	O2
Here and there eat and drink	V
Chatter and love and hate	O2
Gather and squander are raised	O2
Aloft are hurl'd in the dust	O2
Striving blindly achieving	U2
Nothing and then they die	O2
Perish and no one asks	V2
Who or what they have been	W2
More than he asks what waves	X2
In the moonlit solitudes mild	O2
Of the midmost Ocean have swell'd	O2
Foam'd for a moment and gone	Y2
	-
And there are some whom a thirst	O2
Ardent unquenchable fires	Z2
Not with the crowd to be spent	O2
Not without aim to go round	O2
In an eddy of purposeless dust	O2
Effort unmeaning and vain	G2
Ah yes some of us strive	L2
Not without action to die	O2
Fruitless but something to snatch	A3
From dull oblivion nor all	B3
Glut the devouring grave	C3
We we have chosen our path	D3
Path to a clear purposed goal	E3
Path of advance but it leads	F3
A long steep journey through sunk	G3
Gorges o'er mountains in snow	H3
Cheerful with friends we set forth	I3
Then on the height comes the storm	J3
Thunder crashes from rock	K3
To rock the cataracts reply	O2
Lightnings dazzle our eyes	K
Roaring torrents have breach'd	O2
The track the stream bed descends	A
In the place where the wayfarer once	L3
Planted his footstep the spray	G
Boils o'er its borders aloft	O2
The unseen snow beds dislodge	M3
Their hanging ruin alas	N3
Havoc is made in our train	G2
Friends who set forth at our side	O2
Falter are lost in the storm	J3
We we only are left	O2
With frowning foreheads with lips	O3
Sternly compress'd we strain on	P3
On and at nightfall at last	O2
Come to the end of our way	G
To the lonely inn 'mid the rocks	Q3
Where the gaunt and taciturn host	O2
Stands on the threshold the wind	O2
Shaking his thin white hairs	R3
Holds his lantern to scan	S3
Our storm beat figures and asks	V2
Whom in our party we bring	U2
Whom we have left in the snow	H3
Sadly we answer We bring	U2
Only ourselves we lost	O2
Sight of the rest in the storm	J3
Hardly ourselves we fought through	T3
Stripp'd without friends as we are	H2
Friends companions and train	G2
The avalanche swept from our side	O2
	-
But thou woulds't not alone	D2
Be saved my father alone	D2
Conquer and come to thy goal	E3
Leaving the rest in the wild	O2
We were weary and we	W
Fearful and we in our march	U3
Fain to drop down and to die	O2
Still thou turnedst and still	V3
Beckonedst the trembler and still	V3
Gavest the weary thy hand	O2
	-
If in the paths of the world	O2
Stones might have wounded thy feet	O2
Toil or dejection have tried	O2
Thy spirit of that we saw	W3
Nothing to us thou wage still	V3
Cheerful and helpful and firm	J2
Therefore to thee it was given	X3
Many to save with thyself	C3
And at the end of thy day	G
O faithful shepherd to come	Y3
Bringing thy sheep in thy hand	O2
	-
And through thee I believe	C3
In the noble and great who are gone	Y2
Pure souls honour'd and blest	O2
By former ages who else	Z3
Such so soulless so poor	A4
Is the race of men whom I see	W
Seem'd but a dream of the heart	O2
Seem'd but a cry of desire	B4
Yes I believe that there lived	O2
Others like thee in the past	O2
Not like the men of the crowd	O2
Who all round me to day	G
Bluster or cringe and make life	C3
Hideous and arid and vile	C4
But souls temper'd with fire	B4
Fervent heroic and good	O2
Helpers and friends of mankind	O2
Servants of God or sons	D4
Shall I not call you Because	E4
Not as servants ye knew	T3
Your Father's innermost mind	O2
His who unwillingly sees	F4
One of his little ones lost	O2
Yours is the praise if mankind	O2
Hath not as yet in its march	U3
Fainted and fallen and died	O2
	-
See In the rocks of the world	O2
Marches the host of mankind	O2
A feeble wavering line	G4
Where are they tending A God	O2
Marshall'd them gave them their goal	E3
Ah but the way is so long	H4
Years they have been in the wild	O2
Sore thirst plagues them the rocks	Q3
Rising all round overawe	W
Factions divide them their host	O2
Threatens to break to dissolve	C3
Ah keep keep them combined	O2
Else of the myriads who fill	V3
That army not one shall arrive	C3
Sole they shall stray in the rocks	Q3
Stagger for ever in vain	G2
Die one by one in the waste	O2
	-
Then in such hour of need	O2
Of your fainting dispirited race	E
Ye like angels appear	J
Radiant with ardour divine	G4
Beacons of hope ye appear	J
Languor is not in your heart	O2
Weakness is not in your word	O2
Weariness not on your brow	I4
Ye alight in our van at your voice	J4
Panic despair flee away	W
Ye move through the ranks recall	B3
The stragglers refresh the outworn	G4
Praise re inspire the brave	C3
Order courage return	G4
Eyes rekindling and prayers	R3
Follow your steps as ye go	H3
Ye fill up the gaps in our files	K4
Strengthen the wavering line	G4
Stablish continue our march	U3
On to the bound of the waste	O2
On to the City of God	O2
