Black rolls the phantom chimney smoke	A
Beneath the wintry moon	B
For miles on miles by sound unbroke	A
The world lies wrapt in its ermine cloak	A
And the night's icy swoon	B
Sways earthward in great brimming wells	C
Of luminous frosty particles	D
	-
Far up the roadway drifted deep	E
Where frost etched fences gleam	F
Beneath the sky's wan shimmering sleep	E
My solitary way I keep	E
Across the world's white dream	F
The only living moving thing	A
In all this mighty slumbering	A
	-
Up in the eastern range of hill	G
The thin wood spectrally	G
Stirs in its sleep and then is still	G
Like querulous age at the wind's will	G
My shadow doggedly	G
Follows my footsteps where I go	A
A grotesque giant on the snow	A
	-
Out where the river's arms are wound	H
And icy sedges cling	A
There comes to me as in a swound	H
A far off clear thin vibrant sound	H
The distant hammering	A
Of frost elves as they come and go	A
Forging in silver chains his woe	A
	-
I stand upon the hill's bleak crest	H
And note the far night world	H
The mighty lake whose passionate breast	H
Manacled into arctic rest	H
In shrouded sleep is furled	H
The steely heavens whose wondrous host	H
Wheel white from flaming coast to coast	H
	-
Then down the night's dim luminous ways	I
Meseems they come once more	J
Those great star watchers of old days	I
The lonely calm ones whose still gaze	I
On old time orient shore	J
Dreamed in the wheeling sons of light	H
The awful secrets of earth's night	H
	-
They come those lofty ones of old	H
And take me by the hand	H
And call me brother ages rolled	H
Are but a smoke mist kindred souled	H
They lift me to their band	H
Like lights that from pale starbeams shine	K
Their clear eyes look with peace on mine	K
	-
In language of no common kind	H
These watchers speak to me	G
Their thoughts the depths of heaven find	H
Like plummets true It were a kind	H
Of immortality	G
To spend with them one holy hour	L
And know their love and grasp their power	L
	-
And wrapt around with glad content	H
I learn with soul serene	M
Caught from the beauty that is blent	H
In earth the heaven's luminous tent	H
The frost lit dreams between	M
And something holier out of sight	H
Glad visions of the infinite	H
	-
Then backward past the sere hill's breast	H
The spectral moaning wood	H
With great peace brooding in my breast	H
I turn me toward the common rest	H
Of earth's worn brotherhood	H
But as I pass a sacred sign	K
Each lays his holy lips on mine	K
	-
Gives me the golden chrism of song	A
Tips my hushed heart with fire	L
Till high in heaven I hear that throng	A
Who march in mystic paths along	A
Great Pleiades The Lyre	N
The Te Deum of the ages swell	G
To earth tuned ear inaudible	G
