So into Cornwall you go down	A
And leave me loitering here in town	A
For me the ebb of London's wave	B
Not ocean thunder in Cornish cave	B
My friends save only one or two	C
Gone to the glistening marge like you	C
The opera season with blare and din	D
Dying sublime in Lohengrin	D
Houses darkened whose blinded panes	E
All thoughts save of the dead preclude	F
The parks a puddle of tropic rains	E
Clubland a pensive solitude	F
For me now you and yours are flown	G
The fellowship of books alone	G
	-
For you the snaky wave upflung	H
With writhing head and hissing tongue	H
The weed whose tangled fibres tell	I
Of some inviolate deep sea dell	I
The faultless secret chambered shell	I
Whose sound is an epitome	J
Of all the utterance of the sea	J
Great basking twinkling wastes of brine	K
Far clouds of gulls that wheel and swerve	L
In unanimity divine	K
With undulation serpentine	K
And wondrous consentaneous curve	L
Flashing in sudden silver sheen	M
Then melting on the sky line keen	M
The world forgotten coves that seem	N
Lapt in some magic old sea dream	N
Where shivering off the milk white foam	O
Lost airs wander seeking home	O
And into clefts and caverns peep	P
Fissures paven with powdered shell	I
Recesses of primeval sleep	P
Tranced with an immemorial spell	I
The granite fangs eternally	J
Rending the blanch'd lips of the sea	J
The breaker clutching land then hurled	Q
Back on its own tormented world	Q
The mountainous upthunderings	J
The glorious energy of things	J
The power the joy the cosmic thrill	R
Earth's ecstasy made visible	S
World rapture old as Night and new	C
As sunrise this all this for you	C
	-
So by Atlantic breezes fanned	T
You roam the limits of the land	T
And I in London's world abide	U
Poor flotsam on the human tide	U
Nay rather isled amid the stream	N
Watching the flood and half in dream	N
Guessing the sources whence it rose	J
And musing to what Deep it flows	J
	-
For still the ancient riddles mar	V
Our joy in man in leaf in star	V
The Whence and Whither give no rest	W
The Wherefore is a hopeless quest	W
And the dull wight who never thinks	J
Who chancing on the sleeping Sphinx	J
Passes unchallenged fares the best	W
	-
But ill it suits this random verse	J
The high enigmas to rehearse	J
And touch with desultory tongue	H
Secrets no man from Night hath wrung	H
We ponder question doubt and pray	X
The Deep to answer Yea or Nay	X
And what does the engirdling wave	B
The undivulging yield us save	B
Aspersion of bewildering spray	X
We do but dally on the beach	Y
Writing our little thoughts full large	Z
While Ocean with imperious speech	Y
Derides us trifling by the marge	Z
Nay we are children who all day	X
Beside the unknown waters play	X
And dig with small toy spade the sand	T
Thinking our trenches wondrous deep	P
Till twilight falls and hand in hand	T
Nurse takes us home well tired to sleep	P
Sleep and forget our toys and be	J
Lulled by the great unsleeping sea	J
	-
Enough to Cornwall you go down	A
And I tag rhymes in London town	A
