We have not seen the sun for many daysA
But now through East wind hazeA
He makes a shiftB
To send a luminous driftB
To which as to his full unclouded splendourC
The meek contented earth makes glad surrenderC
God bless the simple earthD
That gave me birthD
God bless her that she looks so pleasedE
The soul thai is diseasedE
With this world's sorrowC
Well sir ought to lookF
Beyond and yet beyond not in this narrow nook of His creationG
Will God make up His bookF
The whole is one great scheme of compensationG
The net resultH
Is all I too have had my dreamI
As from my nonage dedicate a meustgxA
Of that great cultH
I saw Lord Love upon his galley passA
Westward from Cyprus smooth as glassA
The sea was all before him He as keleustgxA
Stood at the stern and pipedJ
The rhythms but ever and anonG
As worked uponG
By some familiar Fury grasping a scourgeK
An amethystL
Fastened it to his wrist Love's wristL
He ran along the transtra and did urgeK
The rowers and stripedJ
Their backs with blood whereat they leaptM
Like maddened hounds and sweptM
The sea until it hissedL
Then I Lord Love what means this crueltyN
But he to meN
Deigned no replyO
Only I saw his face was wet with tearsA
And he did look beyond and yet beyondP
But those men fondP
And fatuous never turnedQ
Their eyes from his but yearnedQ
With an insensate yearning having confidenceA
That so it must be but on what pretenceA
I know not Ah most cruel lordR
Ah knotted cordR
Dull plashmN
Of livid tissues flashS
Of oars that smote the waters to a humN
Come comeN
You've had enough of thisA
But what I meant and what you seemed to missA
Was simply how the meek contented earthD
That gave me birthD
Was pleasedE
Then you of soul diseasedE
And what not excellentT
But that is what I meantU
