Lo this is night Hast thou oh sun refused	A
Thy countenance or is thy golden arm	B
Shortened or from thy shining place in heaven	C
Art thou put down and lost Neither hast thou	D
Refused thy constant face nor is thine arm	B
Shortened nor from thy principality	E
Art thou deposed oh sun Ours ours the sin	F
The sorrow From thy steadfast noon we turned	G
Into the eastern shade and this is night	H
	-
	-
Yet so revolves the axle of the world	I
And by that brief aversion wheels us round	J
To morn and rolls us on the larger paths	K
Of annual duty Thou observant moon	L
That dancest round the seasonable earth	M
As David round the ark but half thy ring	N
In process yet complete the circular whole	O
Promotes thee and expedes thy right advance	P
And all thy great desire of summer signs	Q
And thou oh sun our centre who thyself	R
Art satellite and conscious of the far	S
Archelion in obedience of free will	T
And native duty as the good man walks	U
Among the children's faces with thine house	V
About thee least and greatest first and last	W
Makest of the blue eternal holiday	X
Thy glad perambulation and thou far	S
Archelion feudatory still of one	C
Not sovran nor in fee of paramount power	Y
Moons round your worlds worlds round your suns suns round	J
Such satraps as in orderly degree	E
Confess a lordlier regent and pervade	Z
A vaster cycle ye so moved commoved	Z
Revolving and convolving turn the heavens	A2
Upon the pivot of that summery star	S
Centre of all we know and thou oh star	S
Centre of all we know chief crown of crowns	B2
Who art the one in all the all in one	C
And seest the ordered whole nought uninvolved	Z
But all involved to one direct result	Z
Of multiform volution in one pomp	C2
One power one tune one time upon one path	D2
Move with thee moving Thou amid thy host	Z
Marchest ah whither	Y
Oh God before Whom	E2
We marshal thus Thy legioned works to take	F2
The secret of Thy counsel and array	X
Congress and progress and with multitude	Z
As conquerors and to conquer in consent	Z
Of universal law approach Thy bound	Z
Thine immemorial bound and at Thy face	G2
Heaven and earth flee away oh Thou Lord God	Z
Whether oh absolute existence Thou	D
The Maker makest and this fair we see	E
Be but the mote and dust of that unseen	H2
Unsought unsearchable or whether Thou	D
Whose goings forth are from of old around	Z
Thy going in mere effluence without care	I2
Breathest creation out into the cold	Z
Beyond Thee and within Thine ambient breath	J2
So walkest everlasting as we walk	K2
The unportioned snows or whether meditating	N
Eternity self centred self fulfilled	Z
Self continent Thou thinkest and we live	R
A little while forgettest and we fade	Z
Rememberest and we are and this bright vision	C
Wherein we move nay all our total sum	L2
And story be to Thee as to a man	M2
When in the drop and rising of a lid	Z
Lo the swift rack and fashion of a dream	N2
No more oh Thou inscrutable whose ways	O2
Are not as ours whose form we know not voice	P2
Hear not true work behold not mystery	E
Conceive not who as thunder shakes the world	Z
And rings a silver bell hast sometime moved	Z
The tongue of man but in Thy proper speech	Q2
Wearest a human language on a word	Z
As limpets on a rock who as Eternal	R2
Omnipotential Infinite Allwise	P2
In measure of Thine operation hast	Z
No prime or term in subject as in scheme	N2
No final end in eidol as in act	Z
Nought but the perfect God oh Thou Supreme	N2
Inaudible Invisible Unknown	S2
Thy will be done	C
