Emerging from deep sleep my eyes unseal	A
To a pursuing strangeness O to be	B
Where but a moment past I was though where	C
The place the time I know not only feel	A
Far from this banished and so shrunken me	B
Struck conscious to the alien dawn's blank peer	D
	-
Between two worlds homeless I doubt of both	E
Knowing only that I seemed possessing realms	F
And now have nothing In this glimmering cave	G
Of daylight whither I return so loath	E
The emptiness of silence overwhelms	F
Still vision haunted like the blind I crave	G
	-
For splendour beats along my blood in gleams	H
As of a skyey largeness closed and lost	I
That memory torments itself to clutch	J
Hungering unsated for that light of dreams	H
Pursued down shadowy paths that foil exhaust	I
And lose me in a cloud I cannot touch	J
	-
Fixed as in frost the motionless dim shape	K
Of each accustomed thing about my bed	L
Is like an enmity at watch for stale	M
Habit to repossess me past escape	K
In the dead light all seems apart and dead	L
Yet menaces The ticked hour is my jail	M
	-
Yet I had sense as of a forge whose blast	N
Could fuse this stark world into glorious flow	O
Of young power streaming irresistible	P
And I dilated roamed a region vast	N
Feasting in vision with a soul aglow	O
And Time a steed to pace or race at will	Q
	-
Where is that world that I am fallen from	R
Look as a sea weed left at ebb to pine	S
Hueless and shrunken that had liberty	B
To wander sparkle fresh in its own foam	T
Trailing its rosy hair in the long brine	S
So am I cast up from what haunted sea	B
	-
An ocean of the mind without access	U
Save in the labyrinths of sleep a main	V
Deep with the memory of all memories	W
Thoughts and imaginations numberless	W
That ever lodged in the brief living brain	V
Washing our sun lit ignorance was it this	W
	-
Then miserable I that have but sucked	X
Dull oozings vanished into vaporous dew	Y
From springs that custom closes like a stone	Z
And leaden fear and clayey doubt obstruct	X
Heir of the earth's youth and of all it knew	Y
What am I but a vessel charged with oblivion	A2
	-
Ah surely I was rather native there	C
Where all desires were lovely and the power	B2
Of Time irrevocably creeping sure	C2
Was uncreated than in this numb air	C
Of mapped days and of hour pursuing hour	B2
Endless impediment and forfeiture	B2
	-
O we go shrouded from ourselves and hide	D2
The soul from its own splendour and encrust	E2
The virgin sense with thinking Then some chance	W
Moment reveals us we are deified	D2
Feeling and seeing gold gleams from the rust	E2
And marvelling at our lost inheritance	W
	-
We breathe the air of beauty we regale	Q
The mind with innocence joy has no stint	F2
And we are chartered for the world's wide sea	W
Reason the rudder not the sky filled sail	Q
Still clings about us some imputing hint	F2
Of strangeness even in self captivity	W
	-
Before me comes a vision of the old	G2
With dear experience sunken in their eyes	W
And furrowed on their faces scarce a spark	H2
Betrays the quick fire that once made them bold	G2
All their strength's only for that enterprise	W
Which takes them soon into the engulfing dark	H2
	-
I think of old ships stranded how they stir	B2
The mind to see their beauty in its decay	I2
For they unmemoried and mute have been	J2
Companions of the wild winds without fear	D
And carried far adventure who shall say	I2
Into what glories we have never seen	K2
