'Twas at this season year by year	A
The singer who lies songless here	B
Was wont to woo a less austere	A
Less deep repose	C
Where Rotha to Winandermere	A
Unresting flows	C
	-
Flows through a land where torrents call	D
To far off torrents as they fall	D
And mountains in their cloudy pall	E
Keep ghostly state	F
And Nature makes majestical	E
Man's lowliest fate	F
	-
There 'mid the August glow still came	G
He of the twice illustrious name	G
The loud impertinence of fame	G
Not loth to flee	E
Not loth with brooks and fells to claim	G
Fraternity	E
	-
Linked with his happy youthful lot	H
Is Loughrigg then at last forgot	H
Nor silent peak nor dalesman's cot	H
Looks on his grave	I
Lulled by the Thames he sleeps and not	H
By Rotha's wave	I
	-
'Tis fittest thus for though with skill	E
He sang of beck and tarn and ghyll	E
The deep authentic mountain thrill	E
Ne'er shook his page	J
Somewhat of worldling mingled still	E
With bard and sage	J
	-
And 'twere less meet for him to lie	E
Guarded by summits lone and high	E
That traffic with the eternal sky	E
And hear unawed	H
The everlasting fingers ply	E
The loom of God	H
	-
Than in this hamlet of the plain	K
A less sublime repose to gain	K
Where Nature genial and urbane	K
To man defers	L
Yielding to us the right to reign	K
Which yet is hers	L
	-
And nigh to where his bones abide	H
The Thames with its unruffled tide	H
Seems like his genius typified	H
Its strength its grace	M
Its lucid gleam its sober pride	H
Its tranquil pace	M
	-
But ah not his the eventual fate	H
Which doth the journeying wave await	H
Doomed to resign its limpid state	H
And quickly grow	A
Turbid as passion dark as hate	H
And wide as woe	A
	-
Rather it may be over much	N
He shunned the common stain and smutch	N
From soilure of ignoble touch	N
Too grandly free	E
Too loftily secure in such	N
Cold purity	E
	-
But he preserved from chance control	E
The fortress of his 'stablisht soul	E
In all things sought to see the Whole	E
Brooked no disguise	O
And set his heart upon the goal	E
Not on the prize	O
	-
With those Elect he shall survive	P
Who seem not to compete or strive	P
Yet with the foremost still arrive	P
Prevailing still	E
Spirits with whom the stars connive	P
To work their will	E
	-
And ye the baffled many who	Q
Dejected from afar off view	Q
The easily victorious few	Q
Of calm renown	R
Have ye not your sad glory too	Q
And mournful crown	R
	-
Great is the facile conqueror	A
Yet haply he who wounded sore	A
Breathless unhorsed all covered o'er	A
With blood and sweat	H
Sinks foiled but fighting evermore	A
Is greater yet	H
