All things born to breakIn meek sacrificeFor another’s sake,All man’s striving vain,Lavish’d as the priceOf the heart’s hid pain—Long, O spirit-bird,Of thy lonely fearHast thou sung unheardIn hope’s moon-lit wood,While no creature nearKnew nor understood.

All things born to break

In meek sacrifice

For another’s sake,

All man’s striving vain,Lavish’d as the priceOf the heart’s hid pain—

All man’s striving vain,

Lavish’d as the price

Of the heart’s hid pain—

Long, O spirit-bird,Of thy lonely fearHast thou sung unheard

Long, O spirit-bird,

Of thy lonely fear

Hast thou sung unheard

In hope’s moon-lit wood,While no creature nearKnew nor understood.

In hope’s moon-lit wood,

While no creature near

Knew nor understood.
