Lamp that risest loneA
From thy secret placeB
Like a sleeper's faceB
Charged with thoughts unknownA
-
Strange thoughts unexpressedC
In thy brightening beamD
Strangeness more than dreamD
Upon earth e'er guessedC
-
Strange thou gleam'st as someE
Eastern marble oldC
Scrawled with runes that holdC
Histories yet are dumbE
-
But thy viewless handC
Out of whelming nightC
Waves the woods to lightC
Summons up the landC
-
Sea that merged in skyF
To its far bound shinesG
And thy touch definesG
Our infinityC
-
Now the murmuring coastC
Glistens rocks are thereH
And what most was bareH
Thou enrichest mostC
-
Far through granite cavesI
Diving glide thy beamsJ
Till the dark roof gleamsJ
Laced with hovering wavesI
-
O'er the white walls glideC
Through the lattice creepK
Where the lovers sleepK
Bridegroom by his brideC
-
Soft their wakened eyesL
From a deep bliss gazeM
-
On those marvellous raysM
New from ParadiseN
-
In the self same hourO
Whitening Russian plainsP
On sad exile trainsP
Thou hast also powerO
-
No more kindly gloomQ
Veils from them despairH
Near and clear and bareH
They behold their doomQ
-
Bowed they see their ownA
Shadows on the snowR
And the way they goR
Endlessly aloneA
-
Aching chained footsoreH
Through the waste they windC
All their joy behindC
Nought but grief beforeH
-
O thou sleeper's faceB
Whence hast thou this giftC
So much to upliftC
And so much to abaseB
-
Lovers' happier dreamD
Exiles' heavier painS
Thou on each dost rainS
Beam on radiant beamD
-
Changed in thy controlT
Though no leaf hath stirredC
Though no breath was heardC
Lie both world and soulT
