There is threat in the wind and a murmur	A
of water that swells	B
Swift in the hollow about me	C
a shadow is thrown	D
For above is no valley sequestered	E
in shy green dells	B
But abrupt sky closing a wall	F
and a vastness of stone	D
Did the rock split asunder with ages	B
or suddenly smote	E
The hand of a God on the mountain	G
for under the face	B
Of the imminent height at the humid	E
and cold rock base	B
From out of the dungeoned recesses	B
the cavernous throat	E
Disimprisoned there bursts not a rill	H
not a trickle of spray	I
But broad in its gushing and full	J
and sweeping apace	B
A river arisen that dances	B
in laughter away	I
	-
Builded aloof unscaleable	J
towering stark	K
To the fugitive cloud and the blue	J
O Soul of the Rock	L
Silent remote as the moon	M
that will'st not to hark	K
To the cry of the lamb on the precipice	B
lost from the flock	L
If thou suffer the pine in thy cranny	C
that dizzily clings	B
Small seen as a fern or a thicket	E
of obstinate thorn	N
'Tis disdain that neglects them O rather	A
a scorning of scorn	N
Unheedful of them as of those	B
irresistible springs	B
Gushing out from beneath thee unheard	E
as the cry of the bird	E
That skims from the shadow and hovers	B
a flashing of wings	B
Mid the flush and the greening of April	J
thou standest unstirred	E
	-
As a desert uplifted a desert	E
where bones rot and bleach	O
As a barrenness knowing not change	P
nor date nor event	E
As a strength without speech without motion	G
yet stronger than speech	O
A bulk without feature a winter	A
of force long spent	E
And neither is hope nor terror	A
nor weakness there	Q
But a pressure and weight of oblivion	G
where no man is known	D
Nor feature from feature distinguished	E
but all overthrown	D
page	R
Like the rampart of Time that confronts us	B
enormous and bare	Q
Immuring the dream and the vision	G
whereby we have breath	S
Like Night and the end of the light	E
to them that despair	Q
I stand in thy shadow and fear thee	C
thou greatness of Death	S
	-
Come away come away There is light	E
in the water that glides	B
Come away with the water that hastes	B
from the heart of the hills	B
A sinuous ripple that sings	B
and that nowhere abides	B
But broken a murmuring sparkle	J
on ledges and sills	B
Of the rock as it swerves carries in it	E
a wavering fire	A
Like a thought like a joy that no barrier	A
stays from its flight	E
Or a dance of young children that carol	J
their heart of delight	E
For it calls to the bud to burst open	G
the blade to thrust higher	A
To my heart to my heart it is calling	T
O follow for here	U
Is thine own spirit quick and enamoured	E
of love and of light	E
O follow my swiftness and stay not	E
in shadows of fear ''	-
	-
On beds in the valley on sunny	C
half islanded banks	B
Where roots are athirst and refreshed	E
and saplings grow bold	E
Bowing their youth to the breezes	B
in quivering ranks	B
Primroses a cluster of softness	B
and fragrance unfold	E
And the fairy anemone shaking	T
her blossoms agleam	V
They are kisses of light as they tremble	J
to touch and to part	E
Is flushed ah how faint as with fire	A
from the innermost heart	E
Of a world in whose veins is a laughter	A
as clear as the stream	V
And the music upholds me enchants me	C
and borne like a wave	W
I am melted I flow I am nought	E
but a hope and a dream	V
And in me is the youth of the flowers	B
and grief in her grave	W
	-
Sudden a gust flings a shadow	E
and shivering the black	X
Driven leaves at the roots of the oak tree	C
are whirled up and lost	E
Like the wild thoughts of fear into darkness	B
and strong boughs crack	X
And a gloom rushes down with a wailing	T
and out of it tossed	E
Pale snow is outshaken and hail	J
drops icily keen	Y
On young leaf and dead and awakened	E
in tree tops aloud	E
Is the roar of the storm that has gathered	E
the hills in a shroud	E
Until naught of the towering rock	L
but in glimmers is seen	Y
A vision unfeatured a phantom	Z
of terrible birth	A2
Is it thou that appearest a presence	B
divined in the cloud	E
Thy ribs and thy knees and thy breasts	B
O Titaness Earth	A2
	-
Is it thine the great voice that confuses	B
the winds and the floods	B
In a meaningless cry as of madmen	G
a blindness of wrath	B2
Smiting the bosses of oak	C2
and the virginal buds	B
Negligent where thou hast beaten	G
thy desolate swath	D2
O thou who hast armed as for battle	J
thy creatures wild	E
With fierceness of claw and of fang	E2
of hoof and of horn	N
From thee even thee from thy heart beat	E
was man too born	N
With flesh like a flower defenceless	B
is he thy child	E
In whose eyes are wonder and trouble	J
who strikes yet the wrong	F2
He has done he turns from again	G2
and with sorrow is torn	N
How shall his heart be as thine	H2
or in thy way strong	F2
	-
For who that is born of a woman	G
has known not the hour	A
When the spirit within him is daunted	E
and this world comes	B
As an army against him a terror	A
of alien power	A
And fate too vast to be borne	N
his courage benumbs	B
Lost he seems as a child	E
upon mountains alone	D
Who has longed not then with longing	T
for a strength past pain	I2
To endure the rending of sorrow	E
that makes hope vain	I2
To be kneaded in iron and stubborned	E
in armour of stone	D
That hour when the heavens are shaken	G
within the mind	E
And the world is an enemy armed	E
have I not known	D
For the strength of the stony mountain	G
have I not pined	E
	-
But lo on a sudden with sighing	T
the storm ends now	J2
In a radiant relenting golden	G
the light reappears	B
With a glory of drops that are dancing	T
on leaf and on bough	J2
And a music a wandering music	K2
returns to my ears	B
From the primrose is breathing a freshness	B
and wild shy smells	B
From the moss where the snowflake is melted	E
to dazzling dew	E
And the voice of the birds on the banks	B
is uplifted anew	E
To the carolling voice of the river	A
that onward swells	B
Onward away where the buds	B
gleam white on the tree	C
The rain and the gloom are forgotten	G
in heaven's young blue	E
And my heart flows out with the river	A
the river with me	C
	-
In a trance in a trance I listen	G
and into my soul	J
As it draws far back to a stillness	B
darkly stored	E
With infinite sound gather	A
and gradual roll	J
The voices of all the torrents	B
on earth outpoured	E
We tarry not rest not sleep not ''	-
aloud they cry	L2
We are swift as the hours that crumble	J
thy strength into dust	E
We build thee no home nor a fortress	B
wherein to trust	E
But in us is the sound of dominion	G
falling from high	L2
And the kings of the world dethroned	E
and towers laid bare	Q
We move we are ever beyond	E
we change we die	L2
We laugh we live to follow	E
wilt thou too dare ''	-
	-
How shall I not go with you	E
O waters swift	E
Too long in yesterday's self	M2
I tarry and keep	N2
The dust of the world about me	C
Uplift uplift	E
Lose me a wave in the waves	B
that laugh and leap	N2
Lo into uttermost time	O2
my thoughts I send	E
And because in my heart is a flowing	T
no hour can bind	E
Because through the wrongs of the world	E
looking forth and behind	E
I find for my thought not a close	B
for my soul not an end	E
With you will I follow nor crave	W
the strength of the strong	F2
Nor a fortress of time to enshield me	C
from storms that rend	E
This is life this is home to be poured	E
as a stream as a song	F2
