Had ceased; the guests were gone. Yet still one voice

Was there—the fountain’s; through those Eastern courts,

Over the broken marble and the grass,

Its low clear music shedding mournfully.

And still another voice! An aged man,

Yet with a dark and fervent eye beneath

His silvery hair, came day by day, and sate

On a white column’s fragment; and drew forth,

From the forsaken walls and dim arcades,

A tone that shook them with its answering thrill,
