Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.”

That is not our own and, much more, not ourselves
And hard it is in spite of blazoned days.”

Like the pale angle of time
And eternity.
The great shape labored and fell.”
