I	A
Caverns mouthed with blackness more than night	B
Fever jungle deep in strangling brier	C
Venom breeding slime that loathest light	B
Who has plumbed your secret who the blind desire	C
Hissing from the viper's lifted jaws	D
Maddening the beast with scent of prey	E
Tracked through savage glooms on robber paws	D
Till the slaughter gluts him red and reeking Nay	E
Man this breathing mystery this intense	F
Body beautiful with thinking eyes	G
Master of a spirit outsoaring sense	F
Spirit of tears and laughter who has measured all the skies	G
Is he also the lair	H
Of a lust of a sting	I
That hides from the air	H
Yet is lurking to spring	I
From the nescient core	J
Of his fibre alert	K
At the trumpet of war	J
And hungry to hurt	K
When he hears from abysses of time	L
Aboriginal mutters replying	I
To something he knew not within him	M
And the Demon of Earth crying	I
	-
I am the will of the Fire	C
That bursts into boundless fury	N
I am my own implacable desire	C
	-
I am the will of the Sea	N
That shoulders the ships and breaks them	O
There is none other but me ''	-
	-
Heavy forests bred them	O
The race that dreamed	P
In the bones of savage earth	Q
Their dreams had birth	Q
Darkness fed them	O
And the full brain grossly teemed	P
With thoughts compressed with rages	R
Obstinate stark obscure	S
Thirsts no time assuages	R
But centuries immure	S
As the sap of trees behind	P
Crumpled bark of bossy boles	R
Presses up its juices blind	P
Buried within their souls	R
The dream insatiate still	T
Nursed its fierceness old	P
And violent will	T
Haunted with twilight where the Gods drink full	U
Ere they renew their revelry of slaying	I
And warriors leap like the lion on the bull	U
And harsh horns in the northern mist are braying	I
Tenebrous in them lay the dream	V
Like a fire that under ashes	R
Smoulders heavy heaped and dim	M
Yet with spurted stealthy flashes	R
Sends a goblin shadow floating	I
Crooked on the rafters then	W
Sudden from its den	W
Springs in splendour So should burst	P
Destiny from dream from thirst	P
Rapture gloating	I
On a vision of earth afar	S
Stretched for a prize and a prey	S
And the secular might of the Gods re risen	X
Savage and glorious waiting its day	S
Should shatter its ancient prison	X
And leap like the panther to slay	S
Magnificent Storm then and thunder	S
The haughty to crush with the tame	Y
For the world is the strong man's plunder	S
Whose coming is swifter than flame	Y
And the nations unready decayed	P
Unworthy of fate or afraid	P
Shall be stricken and torn asunder	S
Or yield in shame	Y
	-
The Dream is fulfilled	P
Is it this that you willed	P
O patient ones	R
For this that you gave	Z
Young to the grave	Z
Your valiant sons	R
For this that you wore	S
Brave faces and bore	S
The burden heart breaking	I
Sublimely deceived	P
You that bled and believed	P
For the Dream or the Waking	I
	-

II	A
No drum beat pulsing challenge and desire	S
Sounded no jubilant boast nor fierce alarm	A2
Cried throbbing from enfevered throats afire	S
For glory when from vineyard forge and farm	A2
From wharf and warehouse foundry shop and school	B2
From the unreaped cornfield and the office stool	B2
France called her sons but loth but grave	Z
But silent with their purpose proud and hard	P
Within them as of men that go to guard	P
More than life yet to dare	S
More than death France it was their France to save	Z
Nor now the fiery legend of old fames	R
And that imperial Eagle whose wide wings	R
Hovered from Vistula to Finist re	S
Who plucked the crown from Kings	R
Filled her but France was arming in her mind	P
The world unborn and helpless not the past	P
Victorious with banners called her on	C2
And she assembled not her sons alone	D2
From city and hamlet coast and heath and hill	T
But deep within her bosom deeper still	T
Than any fear could search than any hope could blind	P
Beyond all clamours of her recent day	S
Hot smouldering of the faction and the fray	S
She summoned her own soul In the hour of night	P
In the hush that felt the armed tread of her foes	R
Like a star silent out of seas it rose	R
	-
Most human France In those clear eyes of light	P
Was vision of the issue and all the cost	P
To the last drop of generous blood the last	P
Tears of the orphan and the widow and yet	P
She shrank not from the terror of the debt	P
Seeing what else were with the cause undone	X
The very skies barred with an iron threat	P
The very mind of freedom lost	P
Beneath that shadow bulked across the sun	X
Therefore did she abstain	E2
From all that had renowned her all that won	X
The world's delight thought stilled	P
With deep reality to the heart she burned	P
And took upon her all the load of pain	E2
Foreknown and her sons turned	P
From wife's and children's kiss	R
Simply and steady willed	P
With quiet eyes with courage keen and clear	S
Faced Eastward If an English voice she hear	S
That has no speech worthy of her let this	R
Be of that day remembered with what pride	P
Our ancient island thrilled to the oceans wide	P
And our hearts leapt to know that England then	W
Equal in faith of free and loyal men	W
Stept to her side	P
