Henrik Johan Ibsen Dark Poems
- 1. The Miner
Beetling rock, with roar and smoke
Break before my hammer-stroke!
Deeper I must thrust and lower
Till I hear the ring of ore.
... - 2. Gone
THE last, late guest
To the gate we followed;
Goodbye -- and the rest
The night-wind swallowed.
... - 3. A Brother In Need
NOW, rallying once if ne'er again,
With flag at half-mast flown,
A people in dire need and strain
Mans Tyra's bastion.
