 And how am I to face the odds, Of man's bedevilment and God's? I, a stranger and afraid, In a world I never made |
| And like a skylit water stood, The bluebells in the azured wood |
| And malt does more than Milton can To justify the ways of God to man |
| Ensanguining the skies, How heavily it dies, Into the west away; Past touch and sight and sound, Not further to be found, How hopeless under ground, Falls the remorseful day |
| From far, from eve and morning And yon twelve-winded sky, The stuff of life to knit me Blew hither: here am I |
| I could no more define poetry than a terrier can define a rat |
| I, a stranger and afraid In a world I never made |
| Little is the luck I've had, And oh, 'tis comfort small - To think that many another lad - Has had no luck at all |

| That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, the happy highways where I went and cannot come again |
| This is for all ill-treated fellows - Unborn and unbegot, For them to read when they're in trouble And I am not |
