By old blanched fibres of gaunt ivy bound	A
The hollow crag towers under noon's blue height	B
Ribbed ledges lizard haunted crannies white	B
Cushioned with stone crop and with moss embrowned	B
Cool that clear shadow from the outer glare	C
Above a grassy mound	B
Where she that sits muses with lips apart	B
And eyes dream filled beneath the abundant hair	C
And lets the thoughts flower idly from her heart	B
	-
Thoughts of a mother For her child amid	B
Light blossoms that a brook's cold ripple fledge	D
Wind shaken at the shadow's glowing edge	D
Plays with a child's intentness now half hid	B
And now those gay curls caught in frolic sun	E
Toss to the breeze unbid	B
And through the thoughts of her who watches shine	F
With quiverings of felicity that run	E
Through all her being as through water wine	F
	-
Her thoughts flow out to the stream's endless tune	G
Ah what full sea could all that hope contain	H
Then apprehensions vivid like a pain	H
Wing after swift as through this airy noon	G
The swallow skims and flashes past recall	I
But O returns how soon	G
Back in a heart's beat So her fears have sped	B
Far as the last loss homing out of all	I
The deep horizon to that golden head	B
	-
The Child amid the blossom nothing recks	J
His eyes a flame winged dragon fly pursue	J
Over stirred heads of mint and borage blue	J
In warm and humming air on slender necks	J
Marsh flowers peep toward him over juicy rush	K
And the wild parsley flecks	J
With powdery pale bloom stalks his bare feet bruise	J
And hot herb odours mingle where they crush	K
Deep in the green growth and the matted ooze	J
	-
How smoothly clear along his ankle slips	J
The water gliding to the pebbled cool	L
He laughs with those young ripples of the pool	L
Then the wind lifts a long spray's leafy tips	J
And dashes him with drops of twinkling fire	M
As in the stream it dips	J
Where over shadows bright with wavering mesh	N
Bramble and thorn and apple scented brier	M
Their roots and low leaves thirstily refresh	N
	-
His mother calls Now over thymy sod	B
The boy comes yet he lingers the flowers keep	O
His feet among them clustering fair and deep	O
Red crane's bill shakes its seed milk campions nod	B
By the rough sorrel little pansies hide	B
Slim spikes of golden rod	B
Above the honeyed purple clover flame	P
And where the sheltered dew has scarcely dried	B
Cling worts close leaved each with its own wild name	P
	-
What secret purpose infinitely wrought	B
Each in its lovely kind and character	M
These breathing creatures in the light astir	M
Articulating new an endless thought	B
That still with some last difference must refine	F
The likeness it had sought	B
Some bloom to mateless glory will unfold	B
A grace undreamed some airy tendril twine	F
Some leaf be veined with unimagined gold	B
	-
Thee too Child with life budding in thy face	J
And quickening thy sweet senses O thee too	J
For whom the old earth maketh herself all new	J
Each hour compels with unreturning pace	J
From the vague twilight being that keeps thee kin	Q
To all the unconscious race	J
Compels thee onward for thy spirit apart	B
The habitation is prepared within	Q
The separate mind the solitary heart	B
	-
It is a prison the slow days shall build	B
When disentwining from the world around	B
Thou shalt at last gaze out of eyes unbound	B
On alien earth with other purpose filled	B
Thou with the burden of identity	B
Thou separately willed	B
And feel at last the difference thine own	R
Mid thy companions saying This is I	S
I and none other in the world's mind alone ''	-
	-
Even now thine eyes are lifted from the flowers	J
And the sky fills them boundless and all pure	M
Regions afar to thrilling silence lure	M
Ah how to charm the fret of future hours	J
Shall to thy mind come as from wells of light	B
And time forgetting powers	J
Words large and blue and liquid as the sky	S
The absolution of the infinite	B
And sea like murmur of eternity	B
	-
Shalt thou not long then when the dark hours wring	T
Thy heart with pangs of mortal loss and doom	U
That old unsevered being to resume	U
With its kind ignorance relinquishing	T
This self that is so exquisitely made	B
For sorrow time's dull sting	T
To lose and the sharp anguish and the wrong	V
Into life's universal glow to fade	B
And all thy weakness in that whole make strong	V
	-
Yet O thou heart so surely doomed to bleed	B
Thou out of boundless and unshaped desire	M
Compacted essence single and entire	M
Rejoice In thee Earth doth herself exceed	B
O tarrier among flowers of thee the unplumbed	B
Infinities have need	B
Or how shall all that dumbness speak and how	W
Those wandering blind energies be summed	B
As in a star Rejoice that thou art thou	W
	-
Mighty the powers that desolate and kill	X
Armies of waste and winter and alone	R
Thou comest against them in the might of one	E
World challenging and world accusing will	X
Yet mightier thou that canst thy might refrain	H
The world's want to fulfil	X
Thy soul disprison from time's mortal hour	M
To pardon and pity changing that old pain	H
And in thy heart the eternal Love let flower	M
	-
All faith inhabits in thy Mother's eyes	J
Yet she already hath all thy pangs foreknown	H
And in thy separation felt her own	H
Far from her feet follow thy destinies	J
There is no step she hath not trod before	M
Her loss she glorifies	J
To spend on thee her all and to defend	B
The divine hope which in her womb she bore	M
Those arms of love wide as the earth extend	B
