To where, on undiscovered hills,

The gods have gathered them to rest,—

A calm like that hung over all

The dusky groves, and, filtered through

The thorny hedges, touched the wheat

Till every blade was bright with dew.

Was it a dream? We call things dreams

When we must needs do so, or own

Belief in old, exploded myths,

Whose very smoke has long since flown.
