Did veritably seem to grow, expand,

And greaten up to title as, unchecked,

Dream-marchers marched, kept marching, slow and sure,

In time, to tune, unchangeably the same,

From nowhere into nowhere,—out they came,

Onward they passed, and in they went. No lure

Of novel modulation pricked the flat

Forthright persisting melody,—no hint

That discord, sound asleep beneath the flint,

Struck—might spring spark-like, claim due tit-for-tat,
