Weep, weep, weep and weep,
For pauper, dolt, and slave!
Hark! from wasted moor and fen,
...
See the land, her Easter keeping,
Rises as her Maker rose.
...
When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad,
...
Speak low, speak little; who may sing
While yonder cannon-thunders boom?
Watch, shuddering, what each day may bring:
...
Twin stars, aloft in ether clear,
Around each other roll alway,
Within one common atmosphere
...
Clear and cool, clear and cool,
By laughing shallow and dreaming pool;
Cool and clear, cool and clear,
By shining shingle and foaming weir;
...
The church bells were ringing, the devil sat singing
On the stump of a rotting old tree;
'Oh faith it grows cold, and the creeds they grow old,
...
Underneath their eider-robe
Russet swede and golden globe,
Feathered carrot, burrowing deep,
...
Linger no more, my beloved, by abbey and cell and cathedral;
Mourn not for holy ones mourning of old them who knew not the Father,
...
My parents bow, and lead them forth,
For all the crowd to see-
Ah well! the people might not care
...
