And “Art thou he?” their asking glances say.

Then some with downcast aspect take their wage

And follow after shapes of darksome mien,

Evil and doubtful, leading from the light;

And some with radiant eyes alight are seen,

Crowding, as bound on common pilgrimage,

Behind a peaceful Leader robed in white.

And Pain calls one to serve him at his will,

And cloudy Doubt another claims for slave,

And wingéd Riches offer specious fees
