Lights its dim aisles and paths unknown!

The wind is rising; but the boughs

Rise not and fall not with the wind

That through their foliage sobs and soughs;

Only the cloudy rack behind,

Drifting onward, wild and ragged,

Gives to each spire and buttress jagged

A seeming motion undefined.

Below on the square, an armed knight,

Still as a statue and as white,
