    In the prison cells of pride,

    Of marvels with our own competing,
    The strangest is the Haschish plant,
    And what will follow on its eating.”

    Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
    The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
    Dreaming in throngful city ways
    Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
    And dear and early friends—the few”
