(1) Here, where the world is quiet;

(2) Here, where all trouble seems

(3) Dead winds and spent waves riot

(4) In doubtful dreams of dreams;

(5) I watch the green field growing

(6) For reaping folk and sowing,

(7) For harvest-time and mowing,

(8) A sleepy world of streams.

(9) I am tired of tears and laughter,

(10) And men that laugh and weep;

(11) Of what may come hereafter

(12)For men that sow to reap:

(13) I am weary of days and hours,

(14) Blown buds of barren flowers,

(15) Desires and dreams and powers

(16) And everything but sleep.
