as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it
and death could never end it:”

In the midnight and the snow!

On the reef of Norman’s Woe!”

And in the heavens write your glorious name.
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.”
