I wonder if in that far isle	A
Some child is growing now like me	B
When I was child care pricked yet healed the while	A
With balm of rock and sea	B
	-
I wonder if the purple ring	C
That rises on a belt of blue	D
Provokes the little bashful thing	C
To guess what may ensue	D
When he has pierced the screen and holds the further clue	D
	-
I wonder if beyond the verge	E
He dim conjectures England's coast	F
The land of Edwards and of Henries scourge	E
Of insolent foemen at the most	F
Faint caught where Cumbria looms a geographic ghost	F
	-
I wonder if to him the sycamore	G
Is full of green and tender light	H
If the gnarled ash stands stunted at the door	G
By salt sea blast defrauded of its right	H
If budding larches feed the hunger of his sight	H
	-
I wonder if to him the dewy globes	I
Like mercury nestle in the caper leaf	J
If when the white narcissus dons its robes	I
It soothes his childish grief	J
If silver plates the birch gold rustles in the sheaf	J
	-
I wonder if to him the heath clad mountain	K
With crimson pigment fills the sensuous cells	L
If like full bubbles from an emerald fountain	K
Gorse bloom luxuriant wells	L
If God with trenchant forms the insolent lushness quells	L
	-
I wonder if the hills are long and lonely	B
That North from South divide	M
I wonder if he thinks that it is only	B
The hither slope where men abide	M
Unto all mortal homes refused the other side	M
	-
I wonder if some day he chance conducted	N
Attains the vantage of the utmost height	H
And by his own discovery instructed	N
Sees grassy plain and cottage white	H
Each human sign and pledge that feeds him with delight	H
	-
At eventide when lads with lasses dally	B
And milking Pei sits singing at the pail	O
I wonder if he hears along the valley	B
The wind's sad sough half credulous of the tale	O
How from Slieu whallian moans the murdered witches' wail	O
	-
I wonder if to him the Boat descending	C
From the proud East his spirit fills	L
With a strange joy adventurous ardour lending	C
To the mute soul that thrills	L
As booms the herald gun and westward wakes the hills	L
	-
I wonder if he loves that Captain bold	P
Who has the horny hand	Q
Who swears the mighty oath who well can hold	P
Half drunk serene command	Q
And guide his straining bark to refuge of the land	Q
	-
I wonder if he thinks the world has aught	Q
Of strong or nobly wise	L
Like him by whom the invisible land is caught	Q
With instinct true nor storms nor midnight skies	L
Avert the settled aim or daunt the keen emprise	L
	-
I wonder if he deems the English men	R
A higher type beyond his reach	S
Imperial blood by Heaven ordained with pen	R
And sword the populous world to teach	S
If awed he hears the tones as of an alien speech	S
	-
Or older grown suspects a braggart race	L
Ignores phlegmatic claim	T
Of privileged assumption holding base	L
Their technic skill and aim	T
And all the prosperous fraud that binds their social frame	T
	-
Young rebel how he pants who knows not what	Q
He hates yet hates all one to him	U
If Guelph or Buonaparte or sans culotte	Q
If Strafford or if Pym	U
Usurp the clumsy helm if England sink or swim	U
	-
Ah crude undisciplined when thou shalt know	V
What good is in this England still of joys	L
The chiefest count it thou wast nurtured so	V
That thou may'st keep the larger equipoise	V
And stand outside these nations and their noise	V
