The mist closed over him. Rock and hill were lost

In greyness once again.

II
MALESHERBES AND THE BLACK MILESTONES

Moments were years,

Till, at the quiet whisper of Shadow-of-a-Leaf,

Those veils withdrew, and showed another scene.

I saw two dusty travellers, blithely walking

With staffs and knapsacks, on a straight white road

Lined with tall sentinel poplars as to await
