The ghosts of James and Peirce in Harvard Yard | B |
At star pierced midnight after the chapel bell | C |
Episcopalian palian the ringing soared | D |
Stare at me now as if they wish me well | C |
In the waking dream amid the trees which fall | A |
Bar and bough of shadow by my shadow crossed | E |
They have not slept for long and they know all | A |
Know time's exhaustion and the spirit's cost | F |
- | |
We studied the radiant sun the star's pure seed | G |
Darkness is infinite The blind can see | H |
Hatred's necessity and love's grave need | G |
Now that the poor are murdered across the sea | H |
And you are ignorant who hear the bell | C |
Ignorant you walk between heaven and hell | C |
