Out of the cradle endlessly rocking	B
Out of the mocking bird's throat the musical shuttle	C
Out of the Ninth month midnight	D
Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond where the child leaving his bed wander'd alone bare headed barefoot	E
Down from the shower'd halo	F
Up from the mystic play of shadows twining and twisting as if they were alive	G
Out from the patches of briers and blackberries	H
From the memories of the bird that chanted to me	I
From your memories sad brother from the fitful risings and fallings I heard	J
From under that yellow half moon late risen and swollen as if with tears	K
From those beginning notes of sickness and love there in the transparent mist	L
From the thousand responses of my heart never to cease	M
From the myriad thence arous'd words	N
From the word stronger and more delicious than any	I
From such as now they start the scene revisiting	B
As a flock twittering rising or overhead passing	B
Borne hither ere all eludes me hurriedly	I
A man yet by these tears a little boy again	O
Throwing myself on the sand confronting the waves	P
I chanter of pains and joys uniter of here and hereafter	Q
Taking all hints to use them but swiftly leaping beyond them	R
A reminiscence sing	B
	-

	-
Once Paumanok	B
When the snows had melted when the lilac scent was in the air and the Fifth month grass was growing	B
Up this sea shore in some briers	P
Two guests from Alabama two together	Q
And their nest and four light green eggs spotted with brown	S
And every day the he bird to and fro near at hand	T
And every day the she bird crouch'd on her nest silent with bright eyes	P
And every day I a curious boy never too close never disturbing them	R
Cautiously peering absorbing translating	B

	-
Shine shine shine	U
Pour down your warmth great Sun	V
While we bask we two together	Q
	-
Two together	Q
Winds blow South or winds blow North	W
Day come white or night come black	B
Home or rivers and mountains from home	X
Singing all time minding no time	Y
While we two keep together	Q
	-
	-
	-
Till of a sudden	V
May be kill'd unknown to her mate	Z
One forenoon the she bird crouch'd not on the nest	A2
Nor return'd that afternoon nor the next	B2
Nor ever appear'd again	O
	-
And thenceforward all summer in the sound of the sea	P
And at night under the full of the moon in calmer weather	Q
Over the hoarse surging of the sea	P
Or flitting from brier to brier by day	C2
I saw I heard at intervals the remaining one the he bird	J
The solitary guest from Alabama	D2
	-
	-
	-
Blow blow blow	F
Blow up sea winds along Paumanok's shore	E2
I wait and I wait till you blow my mate to me	P
	-
	-
	-
Yes when the stars glisten'd	F2
All night long on the prong of a moss scallop'd stake	B
Down almost amid the slapping waves	P
Sat the lone singer wonderful causing tears	P
	-
He call'd on his mate	Z
He pour'd forth the meanings which I of all men know	F
	-
Yes my brother I know	F
The rest might not but I have treasur'd every note	G2
For once and more than once dimly down to the beach gliding	B
Silent avoiding the moonbeams blending myself with the shadows	P
Recalling now the obscure shapes the echoes the sounds and sights after their sorts	P
The white arms out in the breakers tirelessly tossing	B
I with bare feet a child the wind wafting my hair	H2
Listen'd long and long	B
	-
Listen'd to keep to sing now translating the notes	P
Following you my brother	Q
	-
	-
	-
Soothe soothe soothe	I2
Close on its wave soothes the wave behind	J2
And again another behind embracing and lapping every one close	P
But my love soothes not me not me	P
	-
Low hangs the moon it rose late	Z
O it is lagging O I think it is heavy with love with love	K2
	-
O madly the sea pushes pushes upon the land	T
With love with love	K2
	-
O night do I not see my love fluttering out there among the breakers	P
What is that little black thing I see there in the white	D
	-
Loud loud loud	L2
Loud I call to you my love	K2
	-
High and clear I shoot my voice over the waves	P
Surely you must know who is here is here	M2
You must know who I am my love	K2
	-
Low hanging moon	N2
What is that dusky spot in your brown yellow	F
O it is the shape the shape of my mate	Z
O moon do not keep her from me any longer	Q
	-
Land land O land	T
Whichever way I turn O I think you could give me my mate back again if you only would	O2
For I am almost sure I see her dimly whichever way I look	B
	-
O rising stars	P
Perhaps the one I want so much will rise will rise with some of you	P2
	-
O throat O trembling throat	G2
Sound clearer through the atmosphere	Q2
Pierce the woods the earth	R2
Somewhere listening to catch you must be the one I want	S2
	-
Shake out carols	P
Solitary here the night's carols	P
Carols of lonesome love Death's carols	P
Carols under that lagging yellow waning moon	N2
O under that moon where she droops almost down into the sea	P
O reckless despairing carols	P
	-
But soft sink low	F
Soft let me just murmur	Q
And do you wait a moment you husky noised sea	P
For somewhere I believe I heard my mate responding to me	P
So faint I must be still be still to listen	V
But not altogether still for then she might not come immediately to me	P
	-
Hither my love	K2
Here I am Here	M2
With this just sustain'd note I announce myself to you	P2
This gentle call is for you my love for you	P2
	-
Do not be decoy'd elsewhere	H2
That is the whistle of the wind it is not my voice	P
That is the fluttering the fluttering of the spray	C2
Those are the shadows of leaves	P
	-
O darkness O in vain	T2
O I am very sick and sorrowful	C
	-
O brown halo in the sky near the moon drooping upon the sea	P
O troubled reflection in the sea	P
O throat O throbbing heart	U2
O all and I singing uselessly uselessly all the night	D
	-
Yet I murmur murmur on	V2
O murmurs you yourselves make me continue to sing I know not why	W2
	-
O past O life O songs of joy	X2
In the air in the woods over fields	P
Loved loved loved loved loved	Y2
But my love no more no more with me	P
We two together no more	E2

The aria sinking	B
All else continuing the stars shining	B
The winds blowing the notes of the bird continuous echoing	B
With angry moans the fierce old mother incessantly moaning	B
On the sands of Paumanok's shore gray and rustling	B
The yellow half moon enlarged sagging down drooping the face of the sea almost touching	B
The boy extatic with his bare feet the waves with his hair the atmosphere dallying	B
The love in the heart long pent now loose now at last tumultuously bursting	B
The aria's meaning the ears the Soul swiftly depositing	B
The strange tears down the cheeks coursing	B
The colloquy there the trio each uttering	B
The undertone the savage old mother incessantly crying	B
To the boy's Soul's questions sullenly timing some drown'd secret hissing	B
To the outsetting bard of love	K2
	-

Demon or bird said the boy's soul	Z2
Is it indeed toward your mate you sing or is it mostly to me	P
For I that was a child my tongue's use sleeping	B
Now I have heard you	P2
Now in a moment I know what I am for I awake	B
And already a thousand singers a thousand songs clearer louder and more sorrowful than yours	P
A thousand warbling echoes have started to life within me	P
Never to die	W2
	-
O you singer solitary singing by yourself projecting me	P
O solitary me listening nevermore shall I cease perpetuating you	P2
Never more shall I escape never more the reverberations	P
Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me	P
Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what there in the night	D
By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon	N2
The messenger there arous'd the fire the sweet hell within	A3
The unknown want the destiny of me	P
	-
O give me the clew it lurks in the night here somewhere	H2
O if I am to have so much let me have more	E2
O a word O what is my destination I fear it is henceforth chaos	P
O how joys dreads convolutions human shapes and all shapes spring as from graves around me	P
O phantoms you cover all the land and all the sea	P
O I cannot see in the dimness whether you smile or frown upon me	P
O vapor a look a word O well beloved	Y2
O you dear women's and men's phantoms	P
	-
A word then for I will conquer it	B3
The word final superior to all	C3
Subtle sent up what is it I listen	V
Are you whispering it and have been all the time you sea waves	P
Is that it from your liquid rims and wet sands	P
	-
	-
	-
Whereto answering the sea	P
Delaying not hurrying not	D3
Whisper'd me through the night and very plainly before day break	B
Lisp'd to me the low and delicious word DEATH	E3
And again Death ever Death Death Death	E3
Hissing melodious neither like the bird nor like my arous'd child's heart	U2
But edging near as privately for me rustling at my feet	F3
Creeping thence steadily up to my ears and laving me softly all over	Q
Death Death Death Death Death	E3
	-
Which I do not forget	G3
But fuse the song of my dusky demon and brother	Q
That he sang to me in the moonlight on Paumanok's gray beach	H3
With the thousand responsive songs at random	I3
My own songs awaked from that hour	Q
And with them the key the word up from the waves	P
The word of the sweetest song and all songs	P
That strong and delicious word which creeping to my feet	F3
The sea whisper'd me	P
