To R G R and H P P	A
Let not the mind that would have peace	B
Too much repose on former joy	C
Nor in pourtraying past delight	D
Her needed active power employ	C
	-
So as we linger and look back	E
Tired and perplext with present fears	F
Comes the clear voice of something stern	G
Across the frivolous fleeting years	F
	-
Pressed onward without power to pause	H
By their imperious silent wave	I
How little of the precious past	J
Hoarded so anxiously we save	I
	-
Scarce with beseeching tears we cry	K
To some delicious moment stay	L
Ere the rude hours have swept us on	M
Lamenting we are borne away	L
	-
Yet often in our deep desire	N
Backward we cannot help but gaze	O
If gazing might perchance restore	P
Some lost and lovely yesterdays	O
	-
Come then and ere Time takes them quite	D
Gather with careful choice to find	Q
Whatever flowering memories serve	R
To make a garden of the mind	Q
	-
Near tender thoughts and unsoiled names	S
Names murmured to our hearts in sleep	T
And dreams too pure for the world's eye	K
These too their sacred place shall keep	T
	-
Then let the cloud swept midnight blow	U
Fresh on our cheeks again the spray	L
As the prow plunges where we stand	V
And watch the coast from bay to bay	L
	-
Lying so lonely sleeping soft	W
Under the breezes of the night	D
Only on each dim headland gleams	X
Far seen its beaconing faithful light	D
	-
Again upon our waking eyes	Y
Let Plymouth Sound and Plymouth Hoe	U
The woody Mount the ships the strand	V
Bright in the morning sunshine glow	U
	-
Or let the tender twilight steep	T
As at our journey's end the moor	Z
When glad and tired at last we reach	A2
The Lizard and our cottage door	P
	-
The Lizard hark the name brings back	E
The noise remote of moving seas	B2
Storied as those whose waters foamed	V
Round the renowned Hesperides	B2
	-
On Kynance Cove our window looks	B2
The foam swept rocks the tides' unrest	V
The gathering dusk and one pure star	C2
Deep in the visionary west	V
	-
And there we sit while evening dies	B2
Far o'er that lone romantic sea	B2
Where famous fallen Lyonness	B2
Sleeps with its ruined chivalry	B2
	-
By Dolour Hugo's wondrous walls	B2
Under their arching gloom we glide	V
Rocking our boat with rustling noise	B2
The shadowy waters swell subside	V
	-
Cold strikes the air our voices wake	D2
Weird echoes in the roof below	U
Deep through the glimmering waves we see	B2
The long weeds washing to and fro	U
	-
Then round the headland's troops of gulls	B2
To hospitable Cadgwith come	E2
Sweet Cadgwith climbing o'er the cliff	F2
With cottage gardens bright in bloom	G2
	-
Ah morns at Housel where we bathe	H2
Where sounding up the cliffs and caves	B2
The blue sea tumbles salt and bright	V
Fresh in our faces burst the waves	B2
	-
Ah that wild slope beyond Penzance	B2
Where deep in heather drowsed we lie	K
Till on us steals the fairy mist	V
And makes a blank of sea and sky	K
	-
Blots out the distant Lizard coast	V
And steals across the silent bay	L
Saint Michael's Mount becomes a cloud	V
And dimly wanes the lingering day	L
	-
So may not the oblivious months	B2
With other scenes however bright	V
Wash out your names with all that made	V
Our sojourn by your shores delight	V
	-
Sweet shores to the remembering mind	V
Thrice lovelier now for what were ye	B2
Without the charm that still survives	B2
Of chosen friends' society	B2
	-
Nay can Earth's sweetest sights and sounds	B2
A running stream a rosy sky	K
Uncheered by human thoughts assuage	I2
The deep desire for sympathy	B2
	-
Like a fair face without a heart	V
They charm and for an hour control	J2
But easily we turn away	L
They have not lingered in the soul	J2
