Not to the staring Day	A
For all the importunate questionings he pursues	B
In his big violent voice	C
Shall those mild things of bulk and multitude	D
The Trees God's sentinels	E
Over His gift of live life giving air	F
Yield of their huge unutterable selves	G
Midsummer manifold each one	H
Voluminous a labyrinth of life	I
They keep their greenest musings and the dim dreams	J
That haunt their leafier privacies	K
Dissembled baffling the random gapeseed still	L
With blank full faces or the innocent guile	M
Of laughter flickering back from shine to shade	N
And disappearances of homing birds	O
And frolicsome freaks	P
Of little boughs that frisk with little boughs	Q
	-
But at the word	R
Of the ancient sacerdotal Night	S
Night of the many secrets whose effect	T
Transfiguring hierophantic dread	U
Themselves alone may fully apprehend	V
They tremble and are changed	W
In each the uncouth individual soul	X
Looms forth and glooms	Q
Essential and their bodily presences	Q
Touched with inordinate significance	Q
Wearing the darkness like the livery	Y
Of some mysterious and tremendous guild	Z
They brood they menace they appal	X
Or the anguish of prophecy tears them and they wring	A2
Wild hands of warning in the face	Q
Of some inevitable advance of the doom	B2
Or each to the other bending beckoning signing	A2
As in some monstrous market place	Q
They pass the news these Gossips of the Prime	C2
In that old speech their forefathers	Q
Learned on the lawns of Eden ere they heard	R
The troubled voice of Eve	D2
Naming the wondering folk of Paradise	Q
	-
Your sense is sealed or you should hear them tell	X
The tale of their dim life with all	X
Its compost of experience how the Sun	H
Spreads them their daily feast	E2
Sumptuous of light firing them as with wine	F2
Of the old Moon's fitful solicitude	D
And those mild messages the Stars	Q
Descend in silver silences and dews	Q
Or what the sweet breathing West	G2
Wanton with wading in the swirl of the wheat	H2
Said and their leafage laughed	I2
And how the wet winged Angel of the Rain	J2
Came whispering whispering and the gifts of the Year	K2
The sting of the stirring sap	L2
Under the wizardry of the young eyed Spring	A2
Their summer amplitudes of pomp	M2
Their rich autumnal melancholy and the shrill	X
Embittered housewifery	K2
Of the lean Winter all such things	Q
And with them all the goodness of the Master	K2
Whose right hand blesses with increase and life	I
Whose left hand honours with decay and death	N2
	-
Thus under the constraint of Night	S
These gross and simple creatures	Q
Each in his scores of rings which rings are years	Q
A servant of the Will	X
And God the Craftsman as He walks	Q
The floor of His workshop hearkens full of cheer	K2
In thus accomplishing	A2
The aims of His miraculous artistry	K2
