O travelled far beyond unhappiness	A
Into a dreadful peace	B
Why tarriest thou here The street is bright	C
With noon the music of the tidal sound	D
Of London fills the trembling air with power	E
Flowing and freed around	D
No corner but is stirred	F
With motion and with voices mingling heard	F
That every hour	E
Bring thousand faces trooping into light	C
Past thee O hide thyself beneath the ground	D
Trouble not our sunshine longer lest we see	G
Too clearly inscribed on thee	G
All that we fear to be	G
	-
What dost thou with the sun	H
Long since thy race was run	H
What spectral task employs	I
Thy hands The very boys	I
That mocked thee mock no more they pass thee by	J
Like a dumb stone that cannot make reply	J
Yet even as a stone	K
Will from the turbulent sea	G
Take voice and motion not its own	K
Words on thy lips mechanically stray	L
With echoes and with gleams that fade and come	M
Unrecognized unknown	K
And as from some extinguished star	N
The orphan ray	L
Still vainly travels its eternal way	L
A light of meaning flickers from afar	N
From what long since was dumb	M
Still at the accustomed place	O
Appears thy ruined face	O
And in thy niche all the resounding day	L
'Mid busy voices haunting motionless	P
Thou standest and to every loitering eye	J
Resign'st thy history	G
Alas thou also thou that art so cold	Q
Thou also once wert young	R
And once didst hang upon thy mother's breast	S
And laugh upon thy father's knee	G
But now thy flesh is nearer to the mould	Q
Than the light grass and still thou lingerest	Q
Woe to thee now because thou chosest ill	T
Because each hour thou didst resign	U
A little more of thy slow ebbing will	T
And to the invading silence didst assent	Q
Because to Life saying for ever Nay	L
To Death thou saidest Yea	L
Who leaves thee now engraven with defeat	Q
In this triumphal street	Q
With all that was and is no longer thine	U
Yielded and spent	Q
At what a priceless cost	Q
O face of many battles and all lost	Q
	-
Now all thy dues paid Death possesses thee	G
But too secure	V
To occupy his easy kingdom spares	W
To enforce his title cruelly forbears	W
And suffers thee to languish in thy lot	Q
In this most woeful that thou weepest not	Q
So in some street	Q
Stirred with the rushing feet	Q
Of life that glitters and that thunders past	Q
An aged house broken and doomed at last	Q
Ere yet it vanish quite	Q
Abandons helpless to the light	Q
Spoiled sanctuaries filled with emptiness	W
Where late the weary harboured and young fears	W
Were cradled into peace	W
And sacred kisses kissed and private tears	W
Were dried and true hearts hid their close delight	Q
But now the fires are ashes all is bare	X
The torn gay paper flutters old	Q
And a phantasmal stair	X
Climbs into floorless chambers and hearths cold	Q
