And are they calm about the fall of even?

Pause near the ending of thy long migration,

For this one sudden hour of desolation

Appeals to one hour of thy meditation.

Suffer, O silent one, that I remind thee

Of the great hills that stormed the sky behind thee,

Of the wild winds of power that have resigned thee.

Know that the mournful plain where thou must wander

Is but a grey and silent world, but ponder

The misty mountains of the morning yonder.
