We must laugh and we must sing
- Casts upon his eyes until last
  - The ignominy of boyhood
    - And claim as by soldier's right
      - I summon to the winding ancient
      - Set all mind upon steep ascent
    - Charter to commit crime oncemore
      - Upon broken crumbling battlement
      - Upon the breathless starlit air
  - Distress Of changing into man
    - Fullness in the quarter overflow
      - Upon star that marks hidden pole
      - Fix every wandering thought upon
    - And falls into the basin of mind
      - Quarter where all thought done
      - Who distinguish dark from soul
- Think shape must be his shape
  - The unfinished man and his pain
    - stricken deaf and dumb and blind
      - Consecrated blade upon my knees
      - Satos ancient blade still it was
    - For intellect no longer knows
      - Razor keen like looking glass
      - Unspotted by the centuries
  - Brought face to face with clumsy
    - Is from the Ought
      - Lowering silken old embroidery
      - From some courtlady's dress
    - or Knower from the Known
      - Wooden scabbard bound and wound
