There is a God most surely in the heavens	A
Who smileth always though His face be hid	B
And young Joy cometh as His messenger	C
Upon the Earth like to a rushing wind	D
Scattering the dead leaves of our discontent	E
Ere yet we see him Then he setteth us	F
Upon his back and flieth to God's presence	G
Till on our faces there is seen the light	H
Which streameth from His brows for evermore	I
	-
There is a God Ay by this breath of dawn	J
I swear there is a God even here on Earth	K
And see a blush upon the edge of heaven	L
Bearing me witness There is something changed	M
About these woods since yesterday a look	N
Of shame on Nature's face a consciousness	F
In the bent flowers a troubled tell tale gleam	O
On the lake's brim This morning as I passed	P
Over the lawn there was an instant's hush	Q
Among the trees and then a whispering	R
Which woke the birds and of a sudden lo	S
A thousand voices breathed conspiracy	T
And now a silence There are listening ears	U
In all these bushes waiting till I speak	V
	-
There is a God I swear it on the truth	W
Of my new joy which is not of the Earth	K
But grows within my hand a thing of strength	X
A wonder to the Earth whose old worn heart	Y
Has long been joyless Listen while I speak	V
Ye autumn woods Ye ancient forest trees	Z
Lend me your ears Thou little brook be still	A2
Till I have spoken for I have a tale	B2
For the morning's ear and O thou Nature's voice	C2
Be silent this one day and hear of joy	D2
Newer than thine You friends whom I have loved	E2
Listen and stop me not with word or sign	F2
Till I have poured my heart into your ears	U
For if you spoke to me I should not hear	G2
And if you wept with me I should not see	T
And if you mocked me I should not suspect	H2
Being this day the fool of happiness	F
And all my blood is full of dancing motes	I2
And in my brain are chords of silver tone	J2
Divinely struck to statelier harmonies	Z
Than Heaven's own harping and my eyes have tears	K2
Which brim and quiver but they will not fall	L2
For they are far too happy in my eyes	M2
Tears what of tears which are but new delights	N2
New visions of new joys which none have seen	O2
And which are mine Such only Solomon	L
Saw when he sat upon his ivory throne	J2
And lo the pageantry of Sheba came	P2
Bearing its queen upon a sandal bed	Q2
And laid her at his feet These even I	R2
Who live and speak with you have seen to night	H
	-
And mark how simply wonders come about	S2
And take our hearts by storm as in the night	H
Fate creeps upon a city I had fled	Q2
Four months ago when July nights were young	T2
Out to the wilderness to be alone	J2
Four months four summer months among the hills	U2
So far from my old life I had forgot	V2
All to my name None knew me but my dog	W2
And he was secret Thus in pedlar's guise	M2
With pack and staff and bartering such small wares	K2
Of pills and ointments as the vulgar love	X2
And gathering simples I had worked my way	Y2
Through every valley of the Candriote hills	U2
Four summer months of silence and the balm	Z2
Of the green pastures where the cattle go	S
In the long droughts among the giant rocks	A3
Which are the walls of heaven the ibex' home	B3
Among the dells where the green lizards lurk	C3
Waiting for sunrise Oh I knew them all	L2
The speckled birds which live among the stones	D3
I made new friendship with each grass and weed	E3
Each moss and lichen Every flower became	P2
Like a familiar face and as I passed	P
The harebell nodded to me from her stem	F3
The gentian opened wide her sapphire eyes	M2
And the Alp roses blushed But most of all	L2
The butterflies were mine I marked each one	L
As he came sailing down upon the wind	D
A furlong off The Argus looked at me	T
Out of his hundred eyes and did not move	G3
I could have counted you the purple spots	H3
On great Apollo's wings The shepherds came	P2
And brought their sick that I might heal their woes	I3
With my poor knowledge and I learned in turn	J3
Much weather wisdom and some wisdom too	K3
Fresh from their human hearts 'twas wealth to know	S
	-
And thus I lived and dreamed and drank the wind	D
Which snows had cooled and often I have stood	L3
On some tall pinnacle above the plain	M3
And watched the clouds come flying on the breeze	Z
To tear their fleeces on the jagged rocks	A3
Until they caught and folded me about	S2
In their damp garments and when these were gone	J
And the sun broke through the rain my very soul	N3
Laughed with the sun washed white as a christened child	O3
And all was clean forgotten but its joy	D2
Such life was mine the short sweet summer through	K3
But when the August days were fled away	Y2
And nights grew chill I came to Bannastal	N3
On the Uranian sea and there my fate	P3
Was waiting for me though I knew it not	V2
	-
My fate and what a fate Oh Lytton now	Q3
I see my life transfigured like a seer's	A3
My eyes are open I read plain the meaning	R
Of all that I beheld and heard and knew	K3
Through the past summer as in words of fire	C
The sadness of my soul my pilgrimage	R3
Among the hills each flower upon my way	Y2
The sun the stars the passionate face of heaven	L
The virtue of the earth which expectation	L
Peopled for me with signs and prophecies	A3
All all foretold the coming of a god	S3
Nay more each hope each fancy each desire	C
Each separate thought which I have thought each sorrow	S
Laid on my heart each unseen accident	T3
Met in my road each word each look each choice	A3
Each idle dream that I have dreamt in folly	N3
From my first hour till now I do acknowledge	U3
As the great forecast of a glorious fate	P3
Of hope made ecstasy and life made love	X2
	-
And thus it is I learned the very truth	W
That God is on this earth For twenty days	A3
Are come and gone and twenty nights have been	V3
More sunny than those days since these things were	C
And I still ride upon the back of joy	D2
Which bears me bravely Still the flowers blow	S
St Martin's summer has brought back the birds	A3
To sing in these old gardens as in June	W3
Listen I hear one like the nightingale	N3
But sweeter and less sad and thus she sings	A3
	-
Oh fly not Pleasure pleasant hearted Pleasure	C
Fold me thy wings I prithee yet and stay	Y2
For my heart no measure	C
Knows nor other treasure	C
To buy a garland for my love to day	Y2
	-
And thou too Sorrow tender hearted Sorrow	S
Thou grey eyed mourner fly not yet away	Y2
For I fain would borrow	S
Thy sad weeds to morrow	S
To make a mourning for love's yesterday	Y2
	-
The voice of Pity Time's divine dear Pity	N3
Moved me to tears I dared not say them nay	Y2
But went forth from the city	N3
Making thus my ditty	N3
Of fair love lost for ever and a day	Y2
