From thy secret place | B |
Like a sleeper's face | B |
Charged with thoughts unknown | A |

Strange thoughts unexpressed | C |
In thy brightening beam | D |
Strangeness more than dream | D |
Upon earth e'er guessed | C |
- | |
Strange thou gleam'st as some | E |
Eastern marble old | C |
Scrawled with runes that hold | C |
Histories yet are dumb | E |
- | |
But thy viewless hand | C |
Out of whelming night | C |
Waves the woods to light | C |
Summons up the land | C |
- | |
Sea that merged in sky | F |
To its far bound shines | G |
And thy touch defines | G |
Our infinity | C |

Now the murmuring coast | C |
Glistens rocks are there | H |
And what most was bare | H |
Thou enrichest most | C |

Diving glide thy beams | J |
Till the dark roof gleams | J |
Laced with hovering waves | I |

Where the lovers sleep | K |
Bridegroom by his bride | C |

From a deep bliss gaze | M |

In the self same hour | O |
Whitening Russian plains | P |
On sad exile trains | P |
Thou hast also power | O |

No more kindly gloom | Q |
Veils from them despair | H |
Near and clear and bare | H |
They behold their doom | Q |

Bowed they see their own | A |
Shadows on the snow | R |
And the way they go | R |
Endlessly alone | A |
- | |
Aching chained footsore | H |
Through the waste they wind | C |
All their joy behind | C |
Nought but grief before | H |
- | |
O thou sleeper's face | B |
Whence hast thou this gift | C |
So much to uplift | C |
And so much to abase | B |
- | |
Lovers' happier dream | D |
Exiles' heavier pain | S |
Thou on each dost rain | S |
Beam on radiant beam | D |
- | |
Changed in thy control | T |
Though no leaf hath stirred | C |
Though no breath was heard | C |
Lie both world and soul | T |
