Than the last star’s decline, I here endure,

Abased, majestic, fallen, beautiful,

And unregretful in the doubted dark,

Throneless, that greatens chaos-ward, albeit

From chanting stars that throng the nave of night

Lost echoes wander here, and of his praise,

With ringing moons for cymbals dinned afar,

And shouted from the flaming mouths of suns.

The shadows of impalpable blank deeps—

Deep upon deep accumulate—close down,
