A Humble Imitation	A
	-
And birds of calm sit brooding on the charm d wave	B
	-
It is the noon of night	C
And the world's Great Light	C
Gone out she widow like doth carry her	D
The moon hath veiled her face	E
Nor looks on that dread place	E
Where He lieth dead in seal d sepulchre	D
And heaven and hades emptied lend	F
Their flocking multitudes to watch and wait the end	F
	-
Tier above tier they rise	G
Their wings new line the skies	G
And shed out comforting light among the stars	H
But they of the other place	E
The heavenly signs deface	E
The gloomy brand of hell their brightness mars	H
Yet high they sit in thron d state	I
It is the hour of darkness to them dedicate	I
	-
And first and highest set	J
Where the black shades are met	J
The lord of night and hades leans him down	K
His gleaming eyeballs show	L
More awful than the glow	L
Which hangeth by the points of his dread crown	K
And at his feet where lightnings play	M
The fatal sisters sit and weep and curse their day	M
	-
Lo one with eyes all wide	N
As she were sight denied	N
Sits blindly feeling at her distaff old	O
One as distraught with woe	L
Letting the spindle go	L
Her star y sprinkled gown doth shivering fold	O
And one right mournful hangs her head	P
Complaining Woe is me I may not cut the thread	P
	-
All men of every birth	Q
Yea great ones of the earth	Q
Kings and their councillors have I drawn down	K
But I am held of Thee	R
Why dost Thou trouble me	R
To bring me up dead King that keep'st Thy crown	K
Yet for all courtiers hast but ten	S
Lowly unlettered Galilean fishermen	T
	-
Olympian heights are bare	D
Of whom men worshipped there	D
Immortal feet their snows may print no more	D
Their stately powers below	L
Lie desolate nor know	L
This thirty years Thessalian grove or shore	D
But I am elder far than they	M
Where is the sentence writ that I must pass away	M
	-
Art thou come up for this	U
Dark regent awful Dis	U
And hast thou moved the deep to mark our ending	V
And stirred the dens beneath	W
To see us eat of death	X
With all the scoffing heavens toward us bending	V
Help powers of ill see not us die	Y
But neither demon dares nor angel deigns reply	Y
	-
Her sisters fallen on sleep	Z
Fade in the upper deep	Z
And their grim lord sits on in doleful trance	A2
Till her black veil she rends	A2
And with her death shriek bends	A2
Downward the terrors of her countenance	A2
Then whelmed in night and no more seen	B2
They leave the world a doubt if ever such have been	T
	-
And the winged armies twain	C2
Their awful watch maintain	C2
They mark the earth at rest with her Great Dead	P
Behold from antres wide	N
Green Atlas heave his side	N
His moving woods their scarlet clusters shed	P
The swathing coif his front that cools	A2
And tawny lions lapping at his palm edged pools	A2
	-
Then like a heap of snow	L
Lying where grasses grow	L
See glimmering while the moony lustres creep	Z
Mild mannered Athens dight	P
In dewy marbles white	P
Among her goddesses and gods asleep	Z
And swaying on a purple sea	A2
The many moored galleys clustering at her quay	A2
	-
Also 'neath palm trees' shade	P
Amid their camels laid	P
The pastoral tribes with all their flocks at rest	P
Like to those old world folk	D2
With whom two angels broke	D2
The bread of men at Abram's courteous 'quest	P
When listening as they prophesied	P
His desert princess being reproved her laugh denied	P
	-
Or from the Morians' land	P
See worshipped Nilus bland	P
Taking the silver road he gave the world	P
To wet his ancient shrine	E2
With waters held divine	E2
And touch his temple steps with wavelets curled	P
And list ere darkness change to gray	M
Old minstrel throated Memnon chanting in the day	M
	-
Moreover Indian glades	A2
Where kneel the sun swart maids	A2
On Gunga's flood their votive flowers to throw	L
And launch i' the sultry night	P
Their burning cressets bright	P
Most like a fleet of stars that southing go	L
Till on her bosom prosperously	Y
She floats them shining forth to sail the lull d sea	A2
	-
Nor bend they not their eyne	E2
Where the watch fires shine	E2
By shepherds fed on hills of Bethlehem	F2
They mark in goodly wise	A2
The city of David rise	A2
The gates and towers of rare Jerusalem	G2
And hear the 'scap d Kedron fret	P
And night dews dropping from the leaves of Olivet	P
	-
But now the setting moon	E2
To curtained lands must soon	E2
In her obedient fashion minister	D
She first as loath to go	L
Lets her last silver flow	L
Upon her Master's seal d sepulchre	D
And trees that in the gardens spread	P
She kisseth all for sake of His low lying head	P
	-
Then 'neath the rim goes down	E2
And night with darker frown	E2
Sinks on the fateful garden watched long	H2
When some despairing eyes	A2
Far in the murky skies	A2
The unwish d waking by their gloom foretell	Y
And blackness up the welkin swings	A2
And drinks the mild effulgence from celestial wings	A2
	-
Last with amaz d cry	D
The hosts asunder fly	D
Leaving an empty gulf of blackest hue	I2
Whence straightway shooteth down	E2
By the Great Father thrown	E2
A mighty angel strong and dread to view	I2
And at his fall the rocks are rent	P
The waiting world doth quake with mortal tremblement	P
	-
The regions far and near	D
Quail with a pause of fear	D
More terrible than aught since time began	E2
The winds that dare not fleet	P
Drop at his awful feet	P
And in its bed wails the wide oce n	E2
The flower of dawn forbears to blow	L
And the oldest running river cannot skill to flow	L
	-
At stand by that dread place	A2
He lifts his radiant face	A2
And looks to heaven with reverent love and fear	D
Then while the welkin quakes	A2
The muttering thunder breaks	A2
And lightnings shoot and ominous meteors drear	D
And all the daunted earth doth moan	E2
He from the doors of death rolls back the seal d stone	E2
	-
In regal quiet deep	Z
Lo One new waked from sleep	Z
Behold He standeth in the rock hewn door	D
Thy children shall not die	P
Peace peace thy Lord is by	P
He liveth they shall live for evermore	D
Peace lo He lifts a priestly hand	P
And blesseth all the sons of men in every land	P
	-
Then with great dread and wail	Y
Fall down like storms of hail	Y
The legions of the lost in fearful wise	A2
And they whose blissful race	A2
Peoples the better place	A2
Lift up their wings to cover their fair eyes	A2
And through the waxing saffron brede	P
Till they are lost in light recede and yet recede	P
	-
So while the fields are dim	J2
And the red sun his rim	J2
First heaves in token of his reign benign	E2
All stars the most admired	P
Into their blue retired	P
Lie hid the faded moon forgets to shine	E2
And hurrying down the sphery way	M
Night flies and sweeps her shadows from the paths of day	M
	-
But look the Saviour blest	P
Calm after solemn rest	P
Stands in the garden 'neath His olive boughs	A2
The earliest smile of day	M
Doth on His vesture play	M
And light the majesty of His still brows	A2
While angels hang with wings outspread	M
Holding the new won crown above His saintly head	M
