I	A
	-
O wild West Wind thou breath of Autumn's being	B
Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead	C
Are driven like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing	B
	-
Yellow and black and pale and hectic red	C
Pestilence stricken multitudes thou	D
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed	C
	-
The wing d seeds where they lie cold and low	E
Each like a corpse within its grave until	F
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow	E
	-
Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth and fill	F
Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air	G
With living hues and odours plain and hill	F
	-
Wild Spirit which art moving everywhere	G
Destroyer and Preserver hear O hear	H
	-
II	A
	-
Thou on whose stream 'mid the steep sky's commotion	I
Loose clouds like Earth's decaying leaves are shed	C
Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean	I
	-
Angels of rain and lightning there are spread	C
On the blue surface of thine airy surge	J
Like the bright hair uplifted from the head	C
	-
Of some fierce Maenad even from the dim verge	J
Of the horizon to the zenith's height	K
The locks of the approaching storm Thou dirge	J
	-
Of the dying year to which this closing night	K
Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre	H
Vaulted with all thy congregated might	K
	-
Of vapours from whose solid atmosphere	H
Black rain and fire and hail will burst O hear	H
	-
III	A
	-
Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams	L
The blue Mediterranean where he lay	M
Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams	L
	-
Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay	M
And saw in sleep old palaces and towers	N
Quivering within the wave's intenser day	M
	-
All overgrown with azure moss and flowers	N
So sweet the sense faints picturing them Thou	D
For whose path the Atlantic's level powers	N
	-
Cleave themselves into chasms while far below	E
The sea blooms and the oozy woods which wear	H
The sapless foliage of the ocean know	E
	-
Thy voice and suddenly grow grey with fear	H
And tremble and despoil themselves O hear	H
	-
IV	-
	-
If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear	H
If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee	O
A wave to pant beneath thy power and share	H
	-
The impulse of thy strength only less free	O
Than thou O Uncontrollable If even	P
I were as in my boyhood and could be	O
	-
The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven	I
As then when to outstrip thy skiey speed	Q
Scarce seemed a vision I would ne'er have striven	I
	-
As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need	Q
Oh lift me as a wave a leaf a cloud	R
I fall upon the thorns of life I bleed	Q
	-
A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed	R
One too like thee tameless and swift and proud	R
	-
V	O
	-
Make me thy lyre even as the forest is	S
What if my leaves are falling like its own	T
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies	U
	-
Will take from both a deep autumnal tone	T
Sweet though in sadness Be thou Spirit fierce	V
My spirit Be thou me impetuous one	I
	-
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe	W
Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth	X
And by the incantation of this verse	W
	-
Scatter as from an unextinguished hearth	Y
Ashes and sparks my words among mankind	Z
Be through my lips to unawakened Earth	X
	-
The trumpet of a prophecy O Wind	Z
If Winter comes can Spring be far behind	Z
