Frowning the owl in the oak complained him	A
Sore that the song of the robin restrained him	A
Wrongly of slumber rudely of rest	B
From the north from the east from the south and the west	B
Woodland wheat field corn field clover	C
Over and over and over and over	C
Five o'clock ten o'clock twelve or seven	D
Nothing but robin songs heard under heaven	D
How can we sleep	E
	-
'Peep ' you whistle and 'cheep cheep cheep '	-
Oh peep if you will and buy if 'tis cheap	E
And have done for an owl must sleep	E
Are ye singing for fame and who shall be first	F
Each day's the same yet the last is worst	F
And the summer is cursed with the silly outburst	F
Of idiot red breasts peeping and cheeping	G
By day when all honest birds ought to be sleeping	G
Lord what a din And so out of all reason	D
Have ye not heard that each thing hath its season	D
Night is to work in night is for play time	H
Good heavens not day time	H
	-
A vulgar flaunt is the flaring day	I
The impudent hot unsparing day	I
That leaves not a stain nor a secret untold	J
Day the reporter the gossip of old	J
Deformity's tease man's common scold	J
Poh Shut the eyes let the sense go numb	K
When day down the eastern way has come	K
'Tis clear as the moon by the argument drawn	L
From Design that the world should retire at dawn	L
Day kills The leaf and the laborer breathe	M
Death in the sun the cities seethe	M
The mortal black marshes bubble with heat	N
And puff up pestilence nothing is sweet	N
Has to do with the sun even virtue will taint	O
Philosophers say and manhood grow faint	O
In the lands where the villainous sun has sway	I
Through the livelong drag of the dreadful day	I
What Eden but noon light stares it tame	P
Shadowless brazen forsaken of shame	P
For the sun tells lies on the landscape now	Q
Reports me the 'what' unrelieved with the 'how'	R
As messengers lie with the facts alone	S
Delivering the word and withholding the tone	S
	-
But oh the sweetness and oh the light	T
Of the high fastidious night	T
Oh to awake with the wise old stars	U
The cultured the careful the Chesterfield stars	U
That wink at the work a day fact of crime	H
And shine so rich through the ruins of time	H
That Baalbec is finer than London oh	V
To sit on the bough that zigzags low	V
By the woodland pool	W
And loudly laugh at man the fool	W
That vows to the vulgar sun oh rare	X
To wheel from the wood to the window where	X
A day worn sleeper is dreaming of care	X
And perch on the sill and straightly stare	X
Through his visions rare to sail	Y
Aslant with the hill and a curve with the vale	Y
To flit down the shadow shot with gleam	Z
Betwixt hanging leaves and starlit stream	Z
Hither thither to and fro	V
Silent aimless dayless slow	V
'Aimless Field mice ' True they're slain	A2
But the night philosophy hoots at pain	A2
Grips eats quick and drops the bones	B2
In the water beneath the bough nor moans	B2
At the death life feeds on Robin pray	I
Come away come away	I
To the cultus of night Abandon the day	I
Have more to think and have less to say	I
And CANNOT you walk now Bah don't hop	C2
Stop	C2
Look at the owl scarce seen scarce heard	D2
O irritant iterant maddening bird	D2
	-
	-
Baltimore	E2
