Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEECFGFGHIAHA AAJGGKLLKJMMLNNOAPPQ QAARRNSNNAADDEETUVWe have not seen the sun for many days | A |
But now through East wind haze | A |
He makes a shift | B |
To send a luminous drift | B |
To which as to his full unclouded splendour | C |
The meek contented earth makes glad surrender | C |
God bless the simple earth | D |
That gave me birth | D |
God bless her that she looks so pleased | E |
The soul thai is diseased | E |
With this world's sorrow | C |
Well sir ought to look | F |
Beyond and yet beyond not in this narrow nook of His creation | G |
Will God make up His book | F |
The whole is one great scheme of compensation | G |
The net result | H |
Is all I too have had my dream | I |
As from my nonage dedicate a meustgx | A |
Of that great cult | H |
I saw Lord Love upon his galley pass | A |
Westward from Cyprus smooth as glass | A |
The sea was all before him He as keleustgx | A |
Stood at the stern and piped | J |
The rhythms but ever and anon | G |
As worked upon | G |
By some familiar Fury grasping a scourge | K |
An amethyst | L |
Fastened it to his wrist Love's wrist | L |
He ran along the transtra and did urge | K |
The rowers and striped | J |
Their backs with blood whereat they leapt | M |
Like maddened hounds and swept | M |
The sea until it hissed | L |
Then I Lord Love what means this cruelty | N |
But he to me | N |
Deigned no reply | O |
Only I saw his face was wet with tears | A |
And he did look beyond and yet beyond | P |
But those men fond | P |
And fatuous never turned | Q |
Their eyes from his but yearned | Q |
With an insensate yearning having confidence | A |
That so it must be but on what pretence | A |
I know not Ah most cruel lord | R |
Ah knotted cord | R |
Dull plashm | N |
Of livid tissues flash | S |
Of oars that smote the waters to a hum | N |
Come come | N |
You've had enough of this | A |
But what I meant and what you seemed to miss | A |
Was simply how the meek contented earth | D |
That gave me birth | D |
Was pleased | E |
Then you of soul diseased | E |
And what not excellent | T |
But that is what I meant | U |
