Pile the pyre light the fire there is fuel enough and to spareA
You have fire enough and to spare with your madness and gladnessB
Burn the old year it is dead and dead and doneC
There is something under the sun that I cannot bearA
I cannot bear this sadness under the sunC
I cannot bear this sun upon all this sadnessB
Here on this prophecy here on this leafless logD
Log upon log and leafless on leafless I sitE
Yes Beauty I see thee yes I see but I will not rejoiceB
Down down wild heart down down thou hungry dogD
That dost but leap and gaze with a want thou canst not utterF
Down down I know the ill but where is the cureG
Moor and stubble and mist stubble and mist and moorG
Here on the turf that will feel the snows a vanishing flutterF
Of bells that are ringing farewellsB
And overhead from a branch that will soon be bareA
Is it a falling leaf that disturbs my blood like a voiceB
Or is it an autumn bird that answers the evening lightH
The evening light on stubble and moor and mistI
And pallid woods and the pale sweet hamlets of dying menJ
Oh autumn bird I also will speak as I listI
Oh woods oh fields oh trees oh hill and glenJ
You who have seen my glory you who wistI
How I have walked the mornings of delightH
Myself a morning summer'd through and litE
With light and summer as the sunny dewK
With sun you saw me thenJ
You see me now oh hear my heart and answer itE
Where is the Nevermore and the land of the YesterdaysB
AyeL
Where are Youth and Joy the dew and the honey dewK
The day of the rose and the night of the nightingaleM
WhereA
Where are the sights and the sounds that shall ne'er and shall e'erF
Come againJ
Once more I have cried my cry once more in vainN
I have listen'd once more for a moment the ancient painN
Is less though I know that the year is dead and doneC
Once more I bearA
Under the sun the sadness over the sadness the sunC
Bear I have borne I shall bear But what is a manO
That his soul should be seen and heard in the trees and flow'rs of the fieldP
Have I tinctured them mortal or doth their mortality yieldP
Me like a fragrance of autumn Ah passion of EveQ
Ah Eve of my passion which is it that aches to complainN
Oh old old Minstrelsy oh wafty winds of RomauntP
Blow me your harps My sick soul cannot weaveQ
These gossamers of feeling that remainN
To any string whereon its ill may grieveQ
Blow me your harps harp wind harp dulcimerF
Citerne batauntP
And mandolin and each string'd woeR
Of the sweet olden world and let them blowR
By me as in sea streams the sea gods seeB
The streaming streaming hairA
Of drown d girls and every sorrowy sinS
O' the seaB
And so let them blow out the dinS
Of daylight and blow inS
With legendary songT
Of buried maidsB
The evening shadesB
And when the thronging harps and allU
The murmurings of wild wind harpsB
Are stillV
And shimmer of dim dulcimerF
And thrill of trill'd citerneS
And plaint of quaint bataunt and throb of longT
Long silent mandolinS
And every other sound that grievesB
Hath dropt into its colour on the leavesB
In the silence let me hearW
The round and heavy tearA
Of orchards fallU
And as I listen let the air unseenS
Be stirr'd with wordsB
Let the ripe husk of what is gape open and shedP
What has beenS
Through click of gates and the gamesB
Of the living village at playX
Let me hear forgotten namesB
Of ancient dayX
Down like a drop of rain from the evening skyL
Let somewhat be saidP
Up from the pool like a bubble let something replyL
In the tongue of the deadP
Through the swallows that fly their lastP
Round the grey spire of the pastP
In the faded elms by the heightP
Let the last hour of lightP
Strike and the yellow chimesB
Forget and rememberF
A dream of other timesB
And above let the rocks be warm with the mystical day that is notP
To day or to morrowR
And from the nest in the rock let me hear the croonS
Of orphan doves that yearnS
For the wings that will never returnS
And below the rocks on the grassy slopes and scarpsB
Let the tender flowering flame of the exquisite crocus of sorrowR
Sadden the green of the grass to the pathos of gentle SeptemberF
And below the slopes and scarps where the strangled rillV
Blackens to rotP
Let the unrest of the troublous hourF
Blossom on through the night and the running flow'rY
O' the fatuous fire flicker and flicker and flareA
Through the aimless dark of disaster the aimless light of despairA
And meantime let the serious evening starY
Contemplative enlarge her slow pale brow'dP
Regard until she shakeZ
With tears and sudden snatch a hasty cloudP
To hide whate'er in those pure realms afarY
Is likest human sadness and full soonS
Let night begin to slakeZ
The west and many headed darkness peerA2
From every copse and brakeZ
While from a cottage nighL
Where the poor candle of dull PovertyB
May barely serve to showR
Her stony privilege of woeR
Or if like her it tryL
To leave the cabin'd precincts of its lotP
Steals trembling forth to struggle and expireB2
A milkless babe that shall not see the mornS
Starves to the fretted earW
With lullaby and lullabyL
And rocking shadow to and froR
Athwart the lattice lowR
And from yon western ridge black as the bierW
Of day let a faint far off hornS
Mourning across the ravish'd fields forlornS
Sound like a streak of sunset seen through the grief of the moonS
And further yet from the slant of the seaward plainS
The bleating and lowing of many voic d flocks and herdsB
Forced from their fields mix on the morning breezeB
With sob of seasB
Till the long rising wind be highL
And from the distant mainS
A gale sweep up the vale and on the gale a wailM
Of shipwreck fill and failM
Fail and fill fill and fail like a sinking sinking sailM
In the rainS
But ere all this to us let the dim smoke riseB
To us from the nearest field from the nearest pyreF
Of stubbled corn let the dim smoke rise and letP
The fire that loosens the stubble cornS
Loose the soul like smoke and let tears in the eyesB
Confuse the passionate sense till the heart forgetP
Whether we be the world or whether the fading world beB
WeB
