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