Give me your hand Beloved I cannot see	A
So close from shadowy branching tree to tree	A
Dark leaves hang over us How vast and still	B
Night sleeps and yet a murmur a low thrill	B
Sighed out of mystery steals slowly near	C
Solitary as longing or as fear	C
Through the faint foliage stirring it and shy	D
Amid the stillness ere it tremble by	D
Touches us on the cheek and on the brow	E
Light as a dew dript finger Listen now	E
'Tis not alone the hushings of the bough	E
But on the slabbed rock beaches far beneath	F
Listen the liquid breath	G
Of the vast lake that rustles up all round	H
Whispering for ever Soon shall we be where	I
The trees end and the promontory bare	I
Breathes all that wide and water wandering air	I
Which shall our foreheads and our lips delight	J
Blown darkly through the breadth and depth and height	J
Of soft immense and solitary Night	J
	-
Where is the Day	K
Bright as a dream that on this same cliff way	K
Fretted light shadows on old olive stems	L
By whose gray riven roots like scarlet gems	L
The little poppies burned Where those clear hues	M
Of water melted to diviner blues	M
In the deep distance of each radiant bay	K
But close beneath us past the narrowed edge	N
Of shadow from sheer crag and jutting ledge	N
Shallowing upon the low reef into gold	O
A ripple of keen light for ever rolled	O
Up to the frail reed sighing on the shore	P
Where are those mountains far enthroned and hoar	P
Above the glittering water's slumbrous heat	Q
With old blanched towns sprinkled about their feet	Q
Lifting majestic shoulders that each side	R
Of that steep misty northern chasm divide	R
Where ambushed in the dim gulf ere they leap	S
Wild spirits of the Wind and Thunder sleep	S
	-
'Tis flown that many coloured dream is flown	T
And with the heart of Night we are alone	T
This is the verge The promontory ends	U
Now the dim branches cover us no more	P
Abrupt the path descends	U
But here will we sit high above the shore	P
Here where we know what wild flowered bushes cloak	V
Old ruined walls and crumbling arches choke	V
With mounded earth though buried from our eyes	W
In dark now as beneath dark centuries	X
The marble towered magnificence of Rome	Y
From whose hot dust the passionate poet fled	Z
Hither and laid his head	Z
Where these same waters laughed him welcome home	Y
	-
It is all dark but how the air breathes free	A
Beloved lean to me	A
Feel how the stillness like a bath desired	A2
With happy pressure heals our senses tired	A2
And drink the keen sweet fragrance from the grass	B2
And wafts from hidden flowers that come and pass	B2
None here but we and we have left behind	C2
The world and cares confined	C2
All with the daylight drowned	H
In darkness on this height of utmost ground	H
Where under us the sighing waters cease	D2
And over us are only stars and peace	D2
	-
O Love Love Love look up Let your head lean	E2
Back on my shoulder Ah I feel the keen	E2
Indrawing of your breath and your heart beat	Q
Under my own and sighing through you sweet	Q
The wonder of the Night that widely broods	D2
Over us with her glittering multitudes	D2
Oh in Night's garden has a fountain sprung	F2
That over old earth showers forever young	F2
A fairy splendour of still dropping spray	K
Or in mad rapture has enamoured May	K
Through the warm dusk mounted like wine and towered	A2
And in far spaces infinitely flowered	A2
Breaking the deep heaven into milky bloom	G2
So beautiful in this most tender gloom	G2
Ten thousand thousand stars through height on height	J
Burn over us how breathless and how bright	J
Some wild some fevered some august and large	H2
Royal and blazing like a hero's targe	H2
Some faint and secret from abysses brought	I2
Lone as an incommunicable thought	I2
They throng they reign they droop they bloom they glow	J2
Upon our gaze and as we gaze they grow	J2
In patience and in glory till the mind	C2
Is brimmed and to all other being blind	C2
They hang they fall towards us spears of fire	K2
Piercing us through with joy and with desire	K2
	-
Ah me Beloved comes an alien gust	L2
A sudden cold thought blowing bitter dust	L2
Upon this rapture They are dead all dead	Z
'Tis but the beauty of Medusa's head	Z
Gleaming on us in icy masks that stare	I
From everlasting winter blind and bare	I
They have no answer for our hearts that yearn	M2
They have no joy in burning only burn	M2
Upon their senseless motion Ah no no	J2
Can you not feel the warm truth overflow	J2
Light to light answers even as heart to heart	N2
And by their shining we in them have part	N2
Lo the same light that in the tiniest spark	O2
Makes momentary beauty from the dark	O2
The light that blesses warm earth and inweaves	D2
A million colours in young flowers and leaves	D2
That our sick thoughts and melancholy eyes	D2
Confounds with magical simplicities	D2
Yea that by dawn's beginning shall unfold	O
Wide glimmering waters and to glory mould	O
Frore peaks wild torrents in the vales between	E2
And golden mists on lawns of living green	E2
'Tis the same light that now above us showers	D2
These star drops white and fair as falling flowers	D2
And silent rings a cry from star to sun	P2
Through all the worlds Light life and love are one	P2
	-
Hush your heart now Beloved hush to sink	Q2
Your thought down deep as the still mind can think	Q2
Then climb as high as boldest thought can climb	R2
Were these dark heavens the unfathomed gulfs of Time	R2
So might we see bright peopling spirits star	S2
The memoriless ages burning far	S2
Splendid or faint tempestuous or serene	E2
All quick and fiery spirits that have been	T2
From whose immortal ecstasies and pains	D2
Drops of red life run sanguine in our veins	D2
Who lived and loved and prodigally spent	U2
Their strength their prayers upon one pure intent	U2
In whom no deed was willed no lonely thought	I2
Attempered and to sword blade keenness brought	I2
But it has helped us even us for whom	G2
They shine in glory from the ages' gloom	G2
But oh it is not only these I see	D2
Look up behold unnumbered hosts to be	D2
What shall we do for them whose hope endears	D2
Futurity's dark wilderness of years	D2
Heroes that shall adventure and attain	V2
What broke our wills in passion and in pain	V2
Sages to find all that we vainly seek	W2
Poets to utter all we cannot speak	W2
And they at last shall into strong towers build	X2
The stones we bled to gather the unfulfilled	X2
House of our dream what was but fable sung	F2
Or indignation on a prophet's tongue	F2
Made form and hue of life's own tissue wrought	I2
Into the rich reality of thought	I2
And women ah what majesty of fate	Y2
Is theirs for whom the little is made great	Y2
The tender strong far off they also wait	Y2
The glory of their burden Love what deep	S
Of mystery unfolds Let your heart leap	S
Lo at your bosom all the world to come	Z2
A child It waits it watches it is dumb	Z2
Yet hearkens and desires the vision grows	D2
Before us and behind us overflows	D2
Mingling as throng on throng of stars o'erhead	Y2
One undivided host the mighty dead	Y2
The mightier unborn Time is rent away	K
There is no morrow no nor yesterday	K
Nor here nor there nor sleeping nor awaking	F2
But like full waters into ocean breaking	F2
Lost at this moment in our heart's high beating	F2
The boundless tides of either world are meeting	F2
And by the love cry in my heart that rings	D2
And by the answer in your heart that sings	D2
We feel at once exulting and afraid	Y2
Near to the glowing of the Hand that made	Y2
And out of earth with divine fire instinct	Y2
Moulded us for each other's need and linked	Y2
Our brief breath with the eternal will That light	Y2
Shall kindle in the dulling world's despite	Y2
The inmost of our spirits burning through	A3
The shadow of all we suffer dream and do	A3
As surely as mine eyes new facultied	A3
In vision to the estranging day denied	A3
Still shall behold when this fair night is fled	A3
All the stars shine round your belov d head	A3
