The night is young yet an enchanted night	A
In early summer calm and darkly bright	A
	-
I love the Night and every little breeze	B
She brings to soothe the sleep of dreaming trees	B
	-
Hearst thou the Voices Sough Susurrus Hark	C
Tis Mother Nature whispering in the dark	C
	-
Burden of cities mad turmoil of men	D
That vex the daylight she forgets them then	D
	-
Her breasts are bare Grief gains from them surcease	B
She gives her restless sons the milk of Peace	B
	-
To sleep she lulls them drawn from thoughts of pelf	E
By telling sweet old stories of herself	E
	-
All secrets deep yea all I hear and see	B
Of things mysterious Night reveals to me	B
I know what every flower with drowsy head	F
Down drooping dreams of and the seeming dead	F
	-
I know how they escaped from care and strife	E
Ironically moralise on Life	E
	-
And know what when the moon walks on the waves	B
They whisper to each other in their graves	B
	-
I know that white clouds drifting from stark coasts	B
Across the sky at midnight are the ghosts	B
	-
Of sailors drowned at sea who yearn to win	G
A quiet grave beside their kith and kin	G
	-
In still green graveyards where they lie at ease	B
Far from the sound of surge and roar of seas	B
	-
I know the message of the mournful rain	H
That beats upon the widow s window pane	H
	-
I know the meaning of the roar of seas	B
I know the glad Spring sap song of the trees	B
	-
And that great chant to which in tuneful grooves	B
The green round earth upon its axis moves	B
	-
And that still greater chant the Bright Sun sings	B
Fire crowned Apollo the great chant that brings	B
	-
All things to life and draws through spaces dim	I
And star sown realms his planets after him	I
	-
I know the tune that led since Life began	J
The upward downward onward March of Man	J
	-
I hear the whispers that the Angels twain	H
Of Death and Life exchange in meeting fain	H
	-
Are they to pause and greet yet may not stay	K
Never For ever This is all they say	K
	-
I hear the twitterings inarticulate	L
Of souls unborn that press around the Gate	M
	-
Of Birth each striving which shall first escape	N
From formless vapour into human shape	N
	-
I know the tale the bird of passionate heart	O
The nightingale tries ever to impart	O
	-
To men though vainly for I well believe	E
That in her brown breast beats the heart of Eve	E
	-
Who with her sweet sad wistful music tries	B
To tell her sons of their lost Paradise	B
	-
And solemn secrets Man had grace to know	P
When God walked in the Garden long ago	P
	-
Yea I have seen methought on nights of awe	Q
The vision terrible Lucretius saw	B
The trembling Universe suns stars grief bliss	B
Plunging for ever down a black abyss	B
	-
But more I love good Bishop Jeremy	B
Who likens all the star worlds that we see	B
	-
Which seem to run an everlasting race	B
Unto a snowstorm sweeping on through space	B
	-
Suns planets stars in glorious array	K
They march melodious on their unknown way	K
	-
Thought seraph winged and swifter than the light	A
Unto the dim verge of the Infinite	L
	-
Pursues them through that strange ethereal flood	R
In which they swim mayhap it is the blood	R
	-
Of Universal God wherein they are	S
But corpuscles sun satellite and star	S
	-
And their great stream of glory but a dim	I
Small pulse in the remotest vein of Him	I
	-
Pursues in vain and from lone awful glooms	B
Turns back to earth again with weary plumes	B
	-
Through glacial gulfs of Space the soul must roam	T
To feel the comfort of its earthly home	T
Ah Mother dear broad bosomed Mother Earth	U
Mother of all our Joy Grief Madness Mirth	U
	-
Mother of flower and fruit of stream and sea	B
We are thy children and must cling to thee	B
	-
I lay my head upon thy breast and hear	V
Small small and faint yet strangely sweet and clear	W
	-
The hum and clash of little worlds below	P
Each on its own path moving swift or slow	P
	-
And listening ever with intenter ear	V
Through din of wars invisible I hear	V
	-
A Homer genius is not gauged by mass	B
Singing his Iliad on a blade of grass	B
	-
And nations hearken his great song resounds	B
Unto the tussock s very utmost bounds	B
	-
States rise and fall each blade of grass upon	X
But still his song from blade to blade rolls on	X
	-
Through all the tussock world and Helen still	Y
Is Fairest Fair and Ajax wild of will	Y
	-
An Ajax whose huge size when measured o er	Z
Is full ten thousandth of an inch or more	A2
	-
Still hurls defiance at the gods whose home	T
Is in the distant awful dew drop dome	T
	-
That trembling hangs suspended from a spray	K
An inch above him worlds of space away	K
	-
Old prophecies foretell but Time proves all	B2
The day will come when it like Troy shall fall	B2
	-
Lo through this small great wondrous song there runs	B
The marching melody of stars and suns	B
	-
I know these things yet cannot speak and tell	C2
Their meanings Over all is cast a spell	C2
Secrets they are sealed with a sevenfold seal	D2
My soul knows what my tongue may not reveal	D2
	-
I love the Night Bright Day the soul shuts in	G
Night sends it soaring to its starry kin	G
If I must leave at last my place of birth	U
This homely gracious green familiar Earth	U
	-
With all it holds of sorrow and delight	A
I pray my parting hour may be at night	A
	-
And that her curtain dark may softly fall	B2
On scenes I love ere I depart from all	B2
	-
Then shall I haply journeying through the Vast	E2
Mysterious Silences take one long last	E2
	-
Fond look at Earth and watch from depths afar	S
The dear old planet dwindling to a star	S
	-
And sigh farewell unto the friends of yore	A2
Whose kindly faces I shall see no more	A2
