The sun hung chill within the blackened noon,
Its splendors one with night. Form planetrs doomed
The wail of death to empty silence rose.

Hopeless! Despairless! like that Indian wise
Free of desire, save no desire to know.

The balmy air of spring whispers through the sweet grass,
The stars sparkle, the whippoorwill calls,
But thou grievest, while my soul lies rapturous

Meet at last and mingle in the realm of dreams,
Gladly would I join them in oblivion's deep!

For that new bridge that leaves old Styx half-spanned;

Leaves less than half remaining, for the dark,
Bleak shadows of the grave engulf the end.
