E’en of the infinite deep; whose Orient realms

Lay bright beneath the morning, while the clouds

Were brooding in their sunset mantle still,

And, in the very city of his birth,

Shall find no home! Ay, I will tell him this,

And he will answer that the tale is false,

False as a traitor’s hollow words of love;

And that the stately dwelling, in whose halls
