Hither from thirsty day	A
And stifling labour and the street's hot glare	B
To twilight shut away	A
Beyond the soft roar under hovering trees	C
Hither the gleeful multitudes repair	B
And by the open echoing evening shore	D
On the dim grass to the faint freshened breeze	C
With laughter their delighted bodies bare	B
	-
Peaceful above the sunset's burning smoke	E
One star and white moon lure the eastern night	F
Already tasting of that wished delight	F
The great elms stir their boughs	G
As from the day's hot languor they awoke	E
But the gliding cool of water whispering calls	H
The bathers in soft plunging falls	H
To overtake its ripple with swift stroke	E
Or pillowing their upward faces drowse	H
On undulation of an easy peace	H
Miraculous release	H
Of heavy spirits laving all desire	I
With satisfaction and with joy entire	I
	-
Strange now the factory's humming wheel the cry	J
Of tireless engines the swift hoisted bales	H
Unnumbered strange the smell of ordered wares	H
In the shop's dimness noonday traffic fails	H
Out of the wave washed ear stiff office stool	K
And busy hush and like a turbid dream	L
The tavern's glittering fume insensibly	K
Ebbs with the hot race and the glutted stream	L
Of labour thieving the dear sands of youth	M
But ever closer like sweet tasting truth	M
The vivid drench the yielding pressure cool	K
And like a known touch comes the fitful breeze	H
From murmuring silence the suspended trees	H
Above the wet drops that from hair and beard	N
Run down the rippled back are real and sweet	O
Warm are the breathing limbs and the firm feet	O
Tread lightly the firm ground or lightly race	H
To mirthful cries while Evening nearer heard	P
And felt a presence of invisible things	H
Inbreathes as to the nostril keen she brings	H
The darkling scented freshness of the grass	H
	-
O now from raiment of illusion shed	Q
The perfect body moves rejecting care	B
And to mysterious liberty remits	H
The rejoicing mind in native pasture fed	Q
And mates its glory with the priceless air	B
The universal beam whatever fits	H
Untamable spirits nor is bought nor sold	R
Equalled with heroes old	R
That beautifully people the green morn	S
Of time and from pale marble young and wise	H
Gaze past our hurrying world our triumphs worn	S
And our hearts trouble with their peaceful eyes	H
