WITHIN the world a second world	A
That circles ceaselessly	B
Stars in the sky and sister stars	C
Turn in your eyes and see	B
	-
Tides of the sea that rise and fall	D
Aheave from Pole to Pole	E
And kindred swayings veiled but felt	F
That noise along the soul	E
	-
Yon moon noon rich high throned remote	G
And pale with pride extreme	H
Draws up the sea but what white moon	I
Exalts the tide of Dream	H
	-
The Fisher Folk who cast their nets	J
In Vision s golden tide	K
Oft bring to light misshapen shells	L
And nothing worth beside	K
	-
And so their worn hands droop adown	I
Their singing throats are dumb	M
The Inner Deep withholds its pearls	N
Till turn of tide be come	M
	-
But patience wait the good tide turns	O
The waters inward set	P
And lo behold aleap alive	Q
With glowing fish the net	P
	-
O Toilers of the Hidden Seas	R
Ye have strange gain and loss	S
Dragging the Deeps of Soul for pearls	N
And ofttimes netting dross	S
	-
Flushed to the lips with golden light	T
And dark with sable gloom	U
Thrilled by a thousand melodies	R
And silent like a tomb	U
	-
Fierce are the winds across your realm	V
As though some Demon veiled	W
Had loosed the gales of Spirit land	X
To ravage ways unsailed	X
	-
But still sweet hours befall at times	Y
Rich lit and full of ease	R
The afterglow is like the light	X
Of sunset on tired seas	R
	-
And worse perhaps may be the lot	X
Of those whose fate is sleep	Z
The sodden souls without a tide	X
Dense as a rotten deep	Z
	-
Pain paves the way for keener joy	A2
And wondrous thoughts uproll	E
When the large moon of Peace looks down	I
On high tide in the soul	E
