A higher here. If that allow your questions

The answering word from me, then I shall speak,

And hold my peace if such the same forbid.

I scarcely see you clear, for there behind you

Stand ghosts that gaze augustly, dumb, and earnest;

They are the great Forefathers of my stem.

Three nights I saw them ere this hour in dream,

Now too they come by day to me, and well

I know what it must mean when thus assembled

The Dead already ope for me their ranks
