The awful shadow of some unseen Power	A
Floats through unseen among us visiting	B
This various world with as inconstant wing	B
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower	A
Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower	A
It visits with inconstant glance	C
Each human heart and countenance	D
Like hues and harmonies of evening	B
Like clouds in starlight widely spread	E
Like memory of music fled	E
Like aught that for its grace may be	F
Dear and yet dearer for its mystery	F
	-
Spirit of Beauty that dost consecrate	G
With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon	H
Of human thought or form where art thou gone	I
Why dost thou pass away and leave our state	G
This dim vast vale of tears vacant and desolate	J
Ask why the sunlight not for ever	A
Weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain river	A
Why aught should fail and fade that once is shown	K
Why fear and dream and death and birth	L
Cast on the daylight of this earth	L
Such gloom why man has such a scope	M
For love and hate despondency and hope	M
	-
No voice from some sublimer world hath ever	A
To sage or poet these responses given	N
Therefore the names of Demon Ghost and Heaven	N
Remain the records of their vain endeavour	A
Frail spells whose uttered charm might not avail to sever	A
From all we hear and all we see	F
Doubt chance and mutability	J
Thy light alone like mist oe'er the mountains driven	N
Or music by the night wind sent	J
Through strings of some still instrument	J
Or moonlight on a midnight stream	O
Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream	O
	-
Love Hope and Self esteem like clouds depart	J
And come for some uncertain moments lent	J
Man were immortal and omnipotent	J
Didst thou unknown and awful as thou art	J
Keep with thy glorious train firm state within his heart	J
Thou messgenger of sympathies	P
That wax and wane in lovers' eyes	Q
Thou that to human thought art nourishment	J
Like darkness to a dying flame	R
Depart not as thy shadow came	R
Depart not lest the grave should be	F
Like life and fear a dark reality	F
	-
While yet a boy I sought for ghosts and sped	J
Through many a listening chamber cave and ruin	N
And starlight wood with fearful steps pursuing	B
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead	J
I called on poisonous names with which our youth is fed	J
I was not heard I saw them not	J
When musing deeply on the lot	J
Of life at that sweet time when winds are wooing	B
All vital things that wake to bring	B
News of birds and blossoming	B
Sudden thy shadow fell on me	F
I shrieked and clasped my hands in ecstasy	F
	-
I vowed that I would dedicate my powers	S
To thee and thine have I not kept the vow	T
With beating heart and streaming eyes even now	T
I call the phantoms of a thousand hours	S
Each from his voiceless grave they have in visioned bowers	S
Of studious zeal or love's delight	J
Outwatched with me the envious night	J
They know that never joy illumed my brow	T
Unlinked with hope that thou wouldst free	F
This world from its dark slavery	F
That thou O awful Loveliness	S
Wouldst give whate'er these words cannot express	S
	-
The day becomes more solemn and serene	U
When noon is past there is a harmony	F
In autumn and a lustre in its sky	V
Which through the summer is not heard or seen	U
As if it could not be as if it had not been	W
Thus let thy power which like the truth	X
Of nature on my passive youth	X
Descended to my onward life supply	V
Its calm to one who worships thee	F
And every form containing thee	F
Whom Spirit fair thy spells did bind	J
To fear himself and love all human kind	J
