This life that glides away	A
As in a night and day	A
This that is shade and shine from Night brought forth	B
To Night returning on a cloudy wing	C
As if it took with it out of the earth	D
Everything	C
A specimen of Time a fact	E
Which hope and fear have verified	F
Whate'er the after aeons may enact	E
Whate'er has been or will be thought of here	G
Something that must still in itself abide	F
As if in its own sphere	H
Oh who can sing it the immaterial I	I
One with the earth one with the sky	I
It is so brief so everlasting too	J
So all apart from Him and You	J
This that within itself contains	K
The first and last of all we hear and see	L
Time centred in Eternity	L
With all its joys and pains	K
Its hopes and fears through all the years	M
That still like an ethereal dew	J
Fall on the senses which therethrough	H
Still gloom and gleam This that is as apart	N
As the Universal Heart	N
That re absorbs itself as if it were	H
Beyond all praise and prayer	H
Within its own immensity	N
This patent yet impalpable ME	L
Like a divine thing in a mystic mart	N
Trading on its own authenticity	L
It cannot sing itself self dumb	O
'Mid the world's hum	O
Though vocal in all else as thought	N
Embodied in itself all things	P
Yet left the Thinker by himself apart	N
As in a region whose	Q
Shadows and lights confuse	Q
The semblances of his identity	L
With mystic movements eerie vanishings	Q
Until his being seems to be	L
A very dream imbued	N
With some primeval mood	N
In which weird pictures of the soul appear	H
Grotesque and crude	N
As the first rude	N
Conceits of the untutored eye and ear	H
In prehistoric breathings fraught	N
With all the little there was then	R
Divine in thought	N
It cannot sing itself and yet	N
Pourtraying the world's heart	N
It has as if it were command	N
Of an interior land	N
Untraced on any mortal chart	N
Beneath a sky whose sun has never set	N
Since first Thought's eastern curtains drawn	S
Let in the dawn	S
Of the illusive light by which we know	T
That we are here and go	T
To a most certain end not far away	A
