Thus, hot and cold, we turn to Thee With question of infinity: But, measuring stars from zone to zone, Are nothing nearer to Thy throne.

For always in the sallow skies The sun was red, and shadows fell From stars and moon; but weather-wise I was, and thought it very well.... The hills were low, and towering high Dead flowers were blossoming in the night; And rivers silently ran by Under great forests, ghastly white.. Through fair familiar towns I passed; By bridges crossed a flowery bank An hundred times; and faces, massed In open windows, rank on rank, Grinned at me hopelessly... I knew Each one, the living and the dead: And one I loved stood forth, and drew Her face awry, and laughed and fled... Then to the journey''s end I came; Of phantoms there I saw but one, Monstrous, in whose mad eyes the flame Of murder blazed... I could not run. Nor move my hand, nor cry for aid.. I saw the long sharp sabre gleam: I could not...
