There lies a somnolent lake	A
Under a noiseless sky	B
Where never the mornings break	A
Nor the evenings die	B
	-
Mad flakes of colour	C
Whirl on its even face	D
Iridescent and streaked with pallour	C
And warding the silent place	D
	-
The rocks rise sheer and gray	C
From the sedgeless brink to the sky	B
Dull lit with the light of pale half day	C
Thro' a void space and dry	B
	-
And the hours lag dead in the air	C
With a sense of coming eternity	E
To the heart of the lonely boatman there	C
That boatman am I	B
	-
I in my lonely boat	F
A waif on the somnolent lake	A
Watching the colours creep and float	F
With the sinuous track of a snake	A
	-
Now I lean o'er the side	G
And lazy shades in the water see	E
Lapped in the sweep of a sluggish tide	G
Crawled in from the living sea	E
	-
And next I fix mine eyes	H
So long that the heart declines	I
On the changeless face of the open skies	H
Where no star shines	I
	-
And now to the rocks I turn	J
To the rocks around	K
That lie like walls of a circling sun	L
Wherein lie bound	K
	-
The waters that feel my powerless strength	M
And meet my homeless oar	C
Labouring over their ashen length	M
Never to find a shore	C
	-
But the gleam still skims	I
At times on the somnolent lake	A
And a light there is that swims	I
With the whirl of a snake	A
	-
And tho' dead be the hours i' the air	C
And dayless the sky	B
The heart is alive of the boatman there	C
That boatman am I	B
