A much discerning Public hold	A
The Singer generally sings	B
And prints and sells his past for gold	A
	-
Whatever I may here disclaim	C
The very clever folk I sing to	D
Will most indubitably cling to	D
Their pet delusion just the same	C
	-
	-
I had seen as the dawn was breaking	E
And I staggered to my rest	F
Tari Devi softly shaking	E
From the Cart Road to the crest	F
I had seen the spurs of Jakko	E
Heave and quiver swell and sink	E
Was it Earthquake or tobacco	E
Day of Doom or Night of Drink	E
	-
In the full fresh fragrant morning	E
I observed a camel crawl	G
Laws of gravitation scorning	E
On the ceiling and the wall	G
Then I watched a fender walking	E
And I heard grey leeches sing	E
And a red hot monkey talking	E
Did not seem the proper thing	E
	-
Then a Creature skinned and crimson	H
Ran about the floor and cried	I
And they said that I had the quot jims quot on	J
And they dosed me with bromide	I
And they locked me in my bedroom	K
Me and one wee Blood Red Mouse	L
Though I said quot To give my head room	K
You had best unroof the house quot	I
	-
But my words were all unheeded	I
Though I told the grave M D	I
That the treatment really needed	I
Was a dip in open sea	I
That was lapping just below me	I
Smooth as silver white as snow	E
And it took three men to throw me	I
When I found I could not go	E
	-
Half the night I watched the Heavens	M
Fizz like ' champagne	N
Fly to sixes and to sevens	M
Wheel and thunder back again	O
And when all was peace and order	P
Save one planet nailed askew	E
Much I wept because my warder	P
Would not let me sit it true	E
	-
After frenzied hours of wating	E
When the Earth and Skies were dumb	Q
Pealed an awful voice dictating	E
An interminable sum	Q
Changing to a tangle story	I
quot What she said you said I said quot	I
Till the Moon arose in glory	I
And I found her in my head	I
	-
Then a Face came blind and weeping	E
And It couldn't wipe its eyes	R
And It muttered I was keeping	E
Back the moonlight from the skies	R
So I patted it for pity	I
But it whistled shrill with wrath	S
And a huge black Devil City	I
Poured its peoples on my path	S
	-
So I fled with steps uncertain	H
On a thousand year long race	T
But the bellying of the curtain	H
Kept me always in one place	T
While the tumult rose and maddened	I
To the roar of Earth on fire	P
Ere it ebbed and sank and saddened	I
To a whisper tense as wire	P
	-
In tolerable stillness	U
Rose one little little star	V
And it chuckled at my illness	U
And it mocked me from afar	V
And its breathren came and eyed me	I
Called the Universe to aid	I
Till I lay with naught to hide me	I
'Neath' the Scorn of All Things Made	I
	-
Dun and saffron robed and splendid	I
Broke the solemn pitying Day	I
And I knew my pains were ended	I
And I turned and tried to pray	I
But my speech was shattered wholly	I
And I wept as children weep	W
Till the dawn wind softly slowly	I
Brought to burning eyelids sleep	W
