1 Strange wanderer out of the deeps,
2 Whence, journeying, come you? 3 From what far, unsunned sleeps 4 Did fate foredoom you, 5 Returning for ever again 6 Through the surgings of man, 7 A flaming, awesome portent of dread 8 Down the centuries' span? 9 Riddle! from the dark unwrung 10 By all earth's sages;-- 11 God's fiery torch from His hand outflung, 12 To flame through the ages: 13 Thou Satan of planets eterne, 14 'Mid angry path, 15 Chained, in circlings vast, to burn 16 Out ancient wrath. 17 By what dread hand first loosed 18 From fires eternal? 19 With majesties dire infused 20 Of force supernal, 21 Takest thy headlong way 22 O'er the highways of space? 23 O wonderful, blossoming flower of fear 24 On the sky's far face! 25 What secret of destiny's will 26 In thy wild burning? 27 What portent dire of humanity's ill 28 In thy returning? 29 Or art thou brand of love 30 In masking of bale? 31 And bringest thou ever some mystical surcease 32 For all who wail? 33 Perchance, O Visitor dread, 34 Thou hast thine appointed 35 Task, thou bolt of the vast outsped! 36 With God's anointed, 37 Performest some endless toil 38 In the universe wide, 39 Feeding or curing some infinite need 40 Where the vast worlds ride. 41 Once, only once, thy face 42 Will I view in this breathing; 43 Just for a space thy majesty trace 44 'Mid earth's mad seething; 45 Ere I go hence to my place, 46 As thou to thy deeps, 47 Thou flambent core of a universe dread, 48 Where all else sleeps. 49 But thou and man's spirit are one, 50 Thou poet! thou flaming 51 Soul of the dauntless sun, 52 Past all reclaiming! 53 One in that red unrest, 54 That yearning, that surge, 55 That mounting surf of the infinite dream, 56 O'er eternity's verge.
