IA
-
I have lived with Shades so longB
So long have talked to themC
I sped to street and throngB
That sometimes theyD
In their dim styleE
Will pause awhileE
To hear my sayD
-
IIA
-
And take me by the handF
And lead me through their roomsG
In the To Be where DoomsG
Half wove and shapeless standF
And show from thereH
The dwindled dustI
And rot and rustI
Of things that wereJ
-
IIIA
-
Now turn they said to meK
One day Look whence we cameL
And signify his nameL
Who gazes thence at theeK
Nor name nor raceM
Know I or canN
I said Of manN
So commonplaceM
-
IV-
-
He moves me not at allO
I note no ray or jotP
Of rareness in his lotP
Or star exceptionalQ
Into the dimR
Dead throngs aroundS
He'll sink nor soundS
Be left of himR
-
V-
-
Yet said they his frail speechT
Hath accents pitched like thineU
Thy mould and his defineU
A likeness each to eachT
But go Deep painV
Alas would be-
His name to thee-
And told in vainV
