A letter from abroad I tear	A
Its sheathing open unaware	A
What treasure gleams within and there	A
Like bird from cage	B
Flutters a curl of golden hair	A
Out of the page	B
	-
From such a frolic head 'twas shorn	C
'Tis but five years since he was born	C
Not sunlight scampering over corn	C
Were merrier thing	D
A child A fragment of the morn	C
A piece of Spring	D
	-
Surely an ampler fuller day	E
Than drapes our English skies with grey	E
A deeper light a richer ray	E
Than here we know	F
To this bright tress have given away	E
Their living glow	F
	-
For Willie dwells where gentian flowers	G
Make mimic sky in mountain bowers	G
And vineyards steeped in ardent hours	G
Slope to the wave	H
Where storied Chillon's tragic towers	G
Their bases lave	H
	-
And over piny tracts of Vaud	E
The rose of eve steals up the snow	F
And on the waters far below	F
Strange sails like wings	I
Half bodilessly come and go	F
Fantastic things	I
	-
And tender night falls like a sigh	J
On	-
ch let	E
low and	E
ch teau	E
high	J
And the far cataract's voice comes nigh	J
Where no man hears	K
And spectral peaks impale the sky	J
On silver spears	L
	-
Ah Willie whose dissevered tress	M
Lies in my hand may you possess	M
At least one sovereign happiness	N
Ev'n to your grave	H
One boon than which I ask naught less	M
Naught greater crave	H
	-
May cloud and mountain lake and vale	O
Never to you be trite or stale	O
As unto souls whose wellsprings fail	O
Or flow defiled	E
Till Nature's happiest fairy tale	O
Charms not her child	E
	-
For when the spirit waxes numb	P
Alien and strange these shows become	P
And stricken with life's tedium	P
The streams run dry	J
The choric spheres themselves are dumb	P
And dead the sky	J
	-
Dead as to captives grown supine	Q
Chained to their task in sightless mine	Q
Above the bland day smiles benign	Q
Birds carol free	R
In thunderous throes of life divine	Q
Leaps the glad sea	R
	-
But they their day and night are one	S
What is't to them that rivulets run	S
Or what concern of theirs the sun	S
It seems as though	F
Their business with these things was done	S
Ages ago	F
	-
Only at times each dulled heart feels	T
That somewhere sealed with hopeless seals	T
The unmeaning heaven about him reels	T
And he lies hurled	E
Beyond the roar of all the wheels	T
Of all the world	E
	-
	-
	-
	-
	-
	-
	-
On what strange track one's fancies fare	A
To eyeless night in sunless lair	A
'Tis a far cry from Willie's hair	A
And here it lies	U
Human yet something which can ne'er	A
Grow sad and wise	U
	-
Which when the head where late it lay	E
In life's grey dusk itself is grey	E
And when the curfew of life's day	E
By death is tolled	E
Shall forfeit not the auroral ray	E
And eastern gold	E
