One!
O man! Take heed!
Two!
What saith deep midnight’s voice indeed?
Three!
‘I slept my sleep —
Four!
‘From deepest dream I’ve woke and plead —
Five!
‘The world is deep,
Six!
‘And deeper than the day could read.
Seven!
‘Deep is its woe —
Eight!
‘Joy — deeper still than grief can be:
Nine!
‘Woe saith: Hence! Go!
Ten!
‘But joys all want eternity —
Eleven!
‘Want deep profound eternity!’
Twelve!
