O that I had a tongue that could express	A
Half of that peace thou ownest darkling Tree	B
A slumber shaded with the heaviness	A
That droops thy leaves hangs deeply over me	B
Far off the evening light	C
Takes dim farewell with hesitating Night	C
Day softly parleys each her hour suspends	A
Hushing the harboured winds lest they affright	C
Ripe summer that the falling leaf attends	A
	-
Fresh are the fields and like a bloom they wear	D
This delicate evening Peace upon them lies	A
So soft I marvel that their slopes to air	D
Dissolve not ere foot reach them dewy skies	A
In dream the distance steep	E
Thou only solitary Elm dost keep	E
Firm root in earth and with thy musing crest	C
Unmoved and darkly branching arms asleep	E
As truth in dream my spirit anchorest	C
	-
O surely Sleep inhabits in thy boughs	A
Sleep that knows all things each well hid distress	A
And private sigh that all men's plea allows	A
And is acquainted with the happiness	A
Removed of him that grieves	A
Surely beneath thy grave and tranquil leaves	A
He will unfold the obstinate mystery	B
That to our questing thought for ever cleaves	A
And I may hold in my own hand the key	B
	-
To pierce the veil and seeing with clear eyes	A
Wonder that riddles ever vext our lot	C
What joy For did perfidious Earth devise	A
Our desolation were her felon plot	C
To flatter with fair shows	A
That we her purpose out of useless woes	A
Might fashion baited by a glorious lure	F
You could not O dark leaves such deep repose	A
Imitate nor conspire to seem secure	F
	-
You as a child exclaims the natural fear	G
Which men dissemble what you could not hide	C
Would utter but you sleep remote from care	D
Still tree by thy dumb augury I abide	C
Nor further ask thee tell	H
Things for the time imprisoned I the spell	H
Might break and thou the rash intruder scorn	I
Enough that what I know not thou know'st well	H
Unagitated nor hast need to mourn	I
