THEY lingered on the middle heights	A
Betwixt the brown earth and the heaven	B
They whispered 'We are not the night's	A
But pallid children of the even '	C
	-
They muttered 'We are not the day's	D
For the old struggle and endeavour	E
The rugged and unquiet ways	D
Are dead and driven past for ever '	-
	-
They dreamed upon the cricket's tune	F
The winds that stirred the withered grasses	G
But never saw the blood red moon	F
That lit the spectre mountain passes	G
	-
They sat and marked the brooklet steal	H
In smoke mist o'er its silvered surges	G
But marked not with its peal on peal	H
The storm that swept the granite gorges	G
	-
They dreamed the shimmer and the shade	I
And sought in pools for haunted faces	G
Nor heard again the cannonade	I
In dreams from earth's old battle places	G
	-
They spake 'The ages all are dead	I
The strife the struggle and the glory	J
We are the silences that wed	I
Betwixt the story and the story	J
	-
'We are the little winds that moan	K
Between the woodlands and the meadows	L
We are the ghosted leaves wind blown	K
Across the gust light and the shadows '	-
	-
Then came a soul across those lands	M
Whose face was all one glad rapt wonder	E
And spake 'The skies are ribbed with bands	M
Of fire and heaven all racked with thunder	E
	-
'Climb up and see the glory spread	I
High over cliff and 'scarpment yawning	N
The night is past the dark is dead	I
Behold the triumph of the dawning '	-
	-
Then laughed they with a wistful scorn	O
'You are a ghost a long dead vision	B
You passed by ages ere was born	O
This twilight of the days elysian	O
	-
'There is no hope there is no strife	P
But only haunted hearts that hunger	E
About a dead scarce dreamed of life	P
Old ages when the earth was younger '	-
	-
Then came by one in mad distress	Q
'Haste haste below where strong arms weaken	O
The fighting ones grow less and less	Q
Great cities of the world are taken	O
	-
'Dread evil rolls by like a flood	I
Men's bones beneath his surges whiten	O
Go where the ages mark in blood	I
The footsteps that their days enlighten '	-
	-
Still they but heard discordant mirth	R
The thin winds through the dead stalks rattle	S
While out from far off haunts of earth	R
There smote the mighty sound of battle	S
	-
Now there was heard an awful cry	T
Despair that rended heaven asunder	E
White pauses when a cause would die	T
Where love was lost and souls went under	E
	-
The while these feebly dreamed and talked	I
Betwixt the brown earth and the heaven	O
Faint ghosts of men who breathed and walked	I
But deader than the dead ones even	O
	-
And out there on the middle height	I
They sought in pools for haunted faces	G
Nor heard the cry across the night	I
That swept from earth's dread battle places	G
