Glory to God who made a man like this	A
To God be praise who in the empty heaven	B
Set Earth's gay globe	C
With its green vesture given	B
And nuptial robe	C
To be the home enthroned of happiness	D
Who from the silences	E
Of the dumb Universe	F
For listening ears	G
Constructed song	H
And fashioned the first note	I
Of the first linnet's throat	I
His audible whisper the deep woods among	J
Who with His dance masters	K
The dappled deer	L
And their fleet fawns	K
With rhythmic beat	M
Of their light feet	M
Upon the thyme sweet lawns	K
Framed the free gamut of the wakening year	L
And gave command to mirth His minister	N
That all things young and glad	O
And mad	O
In this fair world's expanse	K
Should dance	K
Praise be and most for these	K
The lyric ecstasies	K
Sublime in each least lot	P
The passionate plot	P
Subtly contrived to propagate their kind	Q
By beast and bird and in Man's livelier mind	Q
To make of life new life	R
Of joy new joy in corporal bliss	K
Entwined	Q
Man's who is man and wife	R
Though neither he have thought	S
Nor she in their love blind	Q
Of that child's smile	T
Half hers half his	K
Unborn the while	T
They clasp and kiss	K
These are the vastnesses	K
That bid us give God glory for his depths of guile	T
	-
And he The ultimate man	U
The heir of their delight	V
Whose keener sight	V
Grasped the full vision of Time's master plan	U
And who because he knew	W
Found power to do	W
What the rest dared not and was thus the priest	X
Of the divine high feast	X
Of Love on Earth Poet whose prosody	Y
Embraced heaven's infinite blue	W
And the white light of stars	K
The moon's proud chastity	Y
And the sea beating on its prison bars	K
Whose ritual	Z
Was the procession of the months and days	K
In ordered praise	K
Of ceremonial flowers Earth's virginal	Z
Patchwork of shredded colours in the grass	K
Whose incense was	K
The mist of morning and whose sacrifice	K
The sun in splendour by whose light all live	A2
How shall we give	B2
To one thus wise	K
Our homage who so loved him and alas	K
Now weep for him with unavailing eyes	K
	-
For what is wisdom more than this one thought	S
To harvest happiness Time has its wheat	M
Its rule of life discreet	M
By scholars taught	S
For daily bread and its weeds too	W
Its wild crop of the woods which is not bought	P
Its way that fools call folly	Y
Choke pear crab holly	Y
All the riot	C2
Of the bird's diet	C2
For maid and boy	D2
Their winter pick of joy	D2
If they but knew	W
And these to learn and gather in their prime	E2
Is youth's sublime	E2
	-
Here lay his victory Not flowers alone	F2
Nor fruits were his	K
But the world's sadnesses	K
He gathered also its loves lost and gone	G2
The tragic things that are	H2
As the maple leaves	K
Of the fast dying year	L
Crowning its funeral car	H2
The glory of its passing set on fire	N
In the late hedges	K
The wreathed bryony	G2
Black with the Autumn saltings of the Sea	K
And those lone sedges at the lake's edges	K
Which winter winds have whitened on the mere	L
These as the symbols of his Soul's romance	K
In antique lands	K
He bound into the sheaves	K
Of his desire	N
A wreath	I2
Nobler for death	J2
Of these he fashioned a new chivalry	K
For days to be	K
Incorporate with the glories of all Time	E2
The immortal rhyme	E2
Of Roland and the paladins of France	K
Of Charlemagne	G2
The Cid Bivar of Spain	G2
And those pround questers of the Holy Grail	K2
Who rode with Arthur cap pie in mail	K2
Till in his hands	K
It seemed the actual lance	K
Of Lancelot trembled and took edge and shook	L2
Defiance at his foes in Lyonnesse	K
No less than those	K
Of whom it is written in the old French book	L2
That he pursued and slew and scattering rent	M2
Their ranks in fear	L
While the Earth trembled his glad shout to hear	N2
So he in his high rage in Parliament	O2
	-
Anon too at the feasts	K
Where with the knights and ladies crowned he sat	P2
Their laureate	C2
Of that famed Table Round its pleasure's lord	Q2
His was the tongue	J
To celebrate their praise	K
Theirs the adored	Q2
With virile minstrelsy and mirth and song	H
And generous wine	G2
Outpoured	Q2
In draughts divine from flagons	K
Rich with the mellow fruitage of the vine	G2
His was the tongue	J
To tell of valorous deeds	K
Done for high honour's needs	K
On pestilent dragons in dank forest places	K
Vanquished and slain and felon knights laid low	R2
For fair loved faces	K
In days long ago	R2
Amorous sad tales of dolorous mistakes	K
At hands that sought to save	S2
Ancient heart aches	K
Each laid to rest in its forgotten grave	S2
And with them griefs which venturing found their hour	N
Fruitage and flower	N
And were fulfilled of joy and chiefly hers	K
Royal sad Guinevere's	K
Noblest of all among the tragic dead	Q2
Of her he loved to tell	T2
And he did well	T2
For she the lady of his dreams one night	Q2
As it is said	Q2
In Glastonbury	N
Hearing his young steps hurry	N
As to a goal	U2
To kneel at her dead feet	Q2
Where as she lay with her sleep folded palms	K
In the long calms	K
Of a passed soul	U2
Did from her cerements white	Q2
Awake	V2
And feel her passionate heart beat	Q2
To his desire	N
And in new bride's attire	N
Arise and live a woman for his sake	V2
A woman and no dream	W2
These were the rhapsodies of life to him	X2
The things that his heart's zeal	Y2
Made real	Y2
	-
And who shall wonder if to day we weep	Z2
Our Prince of happiness	K
Our warrior dead	Q2
If we who saw	K
These wonders beyond law	K
And his proud soul's essay	K
To live the great life of the Fellowship	A3
In our late day	K
Should mourn him fled	Q2
Yet none the less	K
Give praise	K
To God with chastened but undoubting lip	A3
For this exemplar of His works and ways	K
Since that we know that in His scheme of bliss	K
No permanent anguish is	K
But beauty only and high ruth and truth	B3
And that Life's law is this	K
Pleasure is duty duty pleasure	N
In equal measure	N
And Time's happiness	K
God's all sufficient reason with the wise	K
As with this man	G2
Who sleeps in Paradise	K
