 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

 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
