When I have seen the Sun emerge

... A Deed, in every place --Without the incident of Fame ...

When I hoped I feared --

... When I hoped I feared -- ...

When I hoped, I recollect

... Roughest Air -- was good --Not a Sleet could bite me -- ...

When I was small, a Woman died --

... And He passed quickly round --If pride shall be in Paradise -- ...

When Memory is full

When Night is almost done

When they come back -- if Blossoms do --

When we have ceased to care

... For which we gave the Earth ...

When we stand on the tops of Things

... And Mirrors on the scene --Just laying light -- no soul will wink ...

Where every bird is bold to go

... The foreigner before he knocks ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Where Roses would not dare to go,

... Where Roses would not dare to go, ...

star nullstar nullstar nullstar nullstar null

Where Thou art -- that -- is Home --

... Just We two -- meet --Where Thou art not -- is Woe -- ...
