As though in those cloud-chasms the horns were blowing

The mort for gods cast out and overthrown,

Or for the eyeless sun plucked out and going.

Slow the low gradual moan came in the snowing;

The Dauber felt the prelude had begun.

The snowstorm fluttered by; he saw the sun

Show and pass by, gleam from one towering prison

Into another, vaster and more grim,

Which in dull crags of darkness had arisen

To muffle-to a final door on him.
