She sang beyond the genius of the sea	A
The water never formed to mind or voice	B
Like a body wholly body fluttering	C
Its empty sleeves and yet its mimic motion	D
Made constant cry caused constantly a cry	E
That was not ours although we understood	F
Inhuman of the veritable ocean	D
	-
The sea was not a mask No more was she	A
The song and water were not medleyed sound	G
Even if what she sang was what she heard	H
Since what she sang was uttered word by word	H
It may be that in all her phrases stirred	H
The grinding water and the gasping wind	I
But it was she and not the sea we heard	H
	-
For she was the maker of the song she sang	J
The ever hooded tragic gestured sea	A
Was merely a place by which she walked to sing	C
Whose spirit is this we said because we knew	K
It was the spirit that we sought and knew	K
That we should ask this often as she sang	J
	-
If it was only the dark voice of the sea	A
That rose or even colored by many waves	L
If it was only the outer voice of sky	E
And cloud of the sunken coral water walled	M
However clear it would have been deep air	N
The heaving speech of air a summer sound	G
Repeated in a summer without end	O
And sound alone But it was more than that	P
More even than her voice and ours among	Q
The meaningless plungings of water and the wind	I
Theatrical distances bronze shadows heaped	R
On high horizons mountainous atmospheres	L
Of sky and sea	L
It was her voice that made	S
The sky acutest at its vanishing	C
She measured to the hour its solitude	T
She was the single artificer of the world	U
In which she sang And when she sang the sea	L
Whatever self it had became the self	V
That was her song for she was the maker Then we	L
As we beheld her striding there alone	W
Knew that there was never a world for her	X
Except the one she sang and singing made	S
	-
Ramon Fernandez tell me if you know	Y
Why when the singing ended and we turned	Z
Toward the town tell why the glassy lights	L
The lights in the fishing boats at anchor there	N
As the night descended tilting in the air	N
Mastered the night and portioned out the sea	L
Fixing emblazoned zones and fiery poles	L
Arranging deepening enchanting night	A2
	-
Oh Blessed rage for order pale Ramon	W
The maker's rage to order words of sea	L
Words of the fragrant portals dimly starred	B2
And of ourselves and our origins	L
In ghostlier demarcations keener sounds	L
