Douglas Isle of Man	A
	-
	-
Who taught this pleading to unpractis'd eyes	B
Who hid such import in an infant's gloom	C
Who lent thee child this meditative guise	B
What clouds thy forehead and fore dates thy doom	C
	-
Lo sails that gleam a moment and are gone	D
The swinging waters and the cluster'd pier	E
Not idly Earth and Ocean labour on	F
Nor idly do these sea birds hover near	E
	-
But thou whom superfluity of joy	G
Wafts not from thine own thoughts nor longings vain	H
Nor weariness the full fed soul's annoy	G
Remaining in thy hunger and thy pain	H
	-
Thou drugging pain by patience half averse	I
From thine own mother's breast that knows not thee	J
With eyes that sought thine eyes thou didst converse	I
And that soul searching vision fell on me	J
	-
Glooms that go deep as thine I have not known	K
Moods of fantastic sadness nothing worth	L
Thy sorrow and thy calmness are thine own	K
Glooms that enhance and glorify this earth	L
	-
What mood wears like complexion to thy woe	M
His who in mountain glens at noon of day	N
Sits rapt and hears the battle break below	M
Ah thine was not the shelter but the fray	N
	-
What exile's changing bitter thoughts with glad	O
What seraph's in some alien planet born	P
No exile's dream was ever half so sad	O
Nor any angel's sorrow so forlorn	P
	-
Is the calm thine of stoic souls who weigh	N
Life well and find it wanting nor deplore	Q
But in disdainful silence turn away	N
Stand mute self centred stern and dream no more	Q
	-
Or do I wait to hear some grey hair'd king	R
Unravel all his many colour'd lore	Q
Whose mind hath known all arts of governing	R
Mus'd much lov'd life a little loath'd it more	Q
	-
Down the pale cheek long lines of shadow slope	S
Which years and curious thought and suffering give	T
Thou hast foreknown the vanity of hope	S
Foreseen thy harvest yet proceed'st to live	U
	-
O meek anticipant of that sure pain	H
Whose sureness grey hair'd scholars hardly learn	V
What wonder shall time breed to swell thy strain	H
What heavens what earth what suns shalt thou discern	V
	-
Ere the long night whose stillness brooks no star	W
Match that funereal aspect with her pall	X
I think thou wilt have fathom'd life too far	W
Have known too much or else forgotten all	Y
	-
The Guide of our dark steps a triple veil	Z
Betwixt our senses and our sorrow keeps	A2
Hath sown with cloudless passages the tale	Z
Of grief and eas'd us with a thousand sleeps	A2
	-
Ah not the nectarous poppy lovers use	B2
Not daily labour's dull Lethaean spring	R
Oblivion in lost angels can infuse	C2
Of the soil'd glory and the trailing wing	R
	-
And though thou glean what strenuous gleaners may	N
In the throng'd fields where winning comes by strife	D2
And though the just sun gild as all men pray	N
Some reaches of thy storm vext stream of life	D2
	-
Though that blank sunshine blind thee though the cloud	E2
That sever'd the world's march and thine is gone	D
Though ease dulls grace and Wisdom be too proud	E2
To halve a lodging that was all her own	K
	-
Once ere the day decline thou shalt discern	V
Oh once ere night in thy success thy chain	H
Ere the long evening close thou shalt return	V
And wear this majesty of grief again	F2
