Tarry a moment happy feet	A
That to the sound of laughter glide	B
O glad ones of the evening street	A
Behold what forms are at your side	B
	-
You conquerors of the toilsome day	C
Pass by with laughter labour done	D
But these within their durance stay	C
Their travail sleeps not with the sun	D
	-
They like dim statues without end	E
Their patient attitudes maintain	F
Your triumphing bright course attend	E
But from your eager ways abstain	F
	-
Now if you chafe in secret thought	G
A moment turn from light distress	H
And see how Fate on these hath wrought	G
Who yet so deeply acquiesce	H
	-
Behold them stricken silent weak	I
The maimed the mute the halt the blind	J
Condemned amid defeat to seek	I
The thing which they shall never find	J
	-
They haunt the shadows of your ways	K
In masks of perishable mould	L
Their souls a changing flesh arrays	K
But they are changeless from of old	L
	-
Their lips repeat an empty call	M
But silence wraps their thoughts around	N
On them like snow the ages fall	M
Time muffles all this transient sound	N
	-
When Shalmaneser pitched his tent	O
By Tigris and his flag unfurled	P
And forth his summons proudly sent	O
Into the new unconquered world	P
	-
Or when with spears Cambyses rode	Q
Through Memphis and her bending slaves	R
Or first the Tyrian gazed abroad	S
Upon the bright vast outer waves	R
	-
When sages star instructed men	T
To the young glory of Babylon	U
Foreknew no ending even then	T
Innumerable years had flown	V
	-
Since first the chisel in her hand	W
Necessity the sculptor took	X
And in her spacious meaning planned	W
These forms and that eternal look	X
	-
These foreheads moulded from afar	Y
These soft unfathomable eyes	Z
Gazing from darkness like a star	Y
These lips whose grief is to be wise	Z
	-
As from the mountain marble rude	A2
The growing statue rises fair	B2
She from immortal patience hewed	A2
The limbs of ever young despair	B2
	-
There is no bliss so new and dear	C2
It hath not them far off allured	A2
All things that we have yet to fear	C2
They have already long endured	A2
	-
Nor is there any sorrow more	D2
Than hath ere now befallen these	E2
Whose gaze is as an opening door	D2
On wild interminable seas	E2
	-
O Youth run fast upon thy feet	A2
With full joy haste thee to be filled	A2
And out of moments brief and sweet	A2
Thou shalt a power for ages build	A2
	-
Does thy heart falter Here then seek	I
What strength is in thy kind With pain	F
Immortal bowed these mortals weak	I
Gentle and unsubdued remain	F
