How beautiful it is to wake at night	A
When over all there reigns the ultimate spell	B
Of complete silence darkness absolute	C
To feel the world tilted on axle tree	D
In slow gyration with no sensible sound	E
Unless to ears of unimagined beings	F
Resident incorporeal or stretched	G
In vigilance of ecstasy among	H
Ethereal paths and the celestial maze	I
The rumour of our onward course now brings	F
A steady rustle as of some strange ship	J
Darkling with soundless sail all set and amply filled	K
By volume of an ever constant air	L
At fullest night through seas for ever calm	M
Swept lovely and unknown for ever on	N
	-
How beautiful it is to wake at night	A
Embalmed in darkness watchful sweet and still	O
As is the brain's mood flattered by the swim	P
Of currents circumvolvent in the void	Q
To lie quite still and to become aware	L
Of the dim light cast by nocturnal skies	R
On a dim earth beyond the window ledge	S
So isolate from the friendly company	D
Of the huge universe which turns without	T
To brood apart in calm and joy awhile	U
Until the spirit sinks and scarcely knows	V
Whether self is or if self only is	W
For ever	X
	-
How beautiful to wake at night	A
Within the room grown strange and still and sweet	Y
And live a century while in the dark	Z
The dripping wheel of silence slowly turns	A2
To watch the window open on the night	A
A dewy silent deep where nothing stirs	B2
And lying thus to feel dilate within	C2
The press the conflict and the heavy pulse	D2
Of incommunicable sad ecstasy	D
Growing until the body seems outstretched	G
In perfect crucifixion on the arms	E2
Of a cross pointing from last void to void	Q
While the heart dies to a mere midway spark	Z
	-
All happiness thou holdest happy night	A
For such as lie awake and feel dissolved	F2
The peaceful spice of darkness and the cool	G2
Breath hither blown from the ethereal flowers	B2
That mist thy fields O happy happy wounds	H2
Conditioned by existence in humanity	D
That have such powers to heal them slow sweet sighs	R
Torn from the bosom silent wails the birth	I2
Of such long treasured tears as pain his eyes	R
Who waking hears the divine solicitudes	R
Of midnight with ineffable purport charged	J2
	-
How beautiful it is to wake at night	A
Another night in darkness yet more still	O
Save when the myriad leaves on full fledged boughs	R
Filled rather by the perfume's wandering flood	K2
Than by dispansion of the still sweet air	L
Shall from the furthest utter silences	R
In glimmering secrecy have gathered up	L2
An host of whisperings and scattered sighs	R
To loose at last a sound as of the plunge	M2
And lapsing seethe of some Pacific wave	N2
Which risen from the star thronged outer troughs	R
Rolls in to wreathe with circling foam away	O2
The flutter of the golden moths that haunt	P2
The star's one glimmer daggered on wet sands	R
	-
So beautiful it is to wake at night	A
Imagination loudening with the surf	Q2
Of the midsummer wind among the boughs	R
Gathers my spirit from the haunts remote	R2
Of faintest silence and the shades of sleep	S2
To bear me on the summit of her wave	N2
Beyond known shores beyond the mortal edge	S
Of thought terrestrial to hold me poised	T2
Above the frontiers of infinity	D
To which in the full reflux of the wave	N2
Come soon I must bubble of solving foam	U2
Borne to those other shores now never mine	V2
Save for a hovering instant short as this	R
Which now sustains me ere I be drawn back	W2
To learn again and wholly learn I trust	X2
How beautiful it is to wake at night	A
