Ye old, old dead, and ye of yesternight,

Chieftains, and bards, and keepers of the sheep,

By every cup of sorrow that you had,

Loose me from tears, and make me see aright

How each hath back what once he stayed to weep:

Homer his sight, David his little lad!

THE DUST

The dust blows up and down

Within the lonely town;

Vague, hurrying, dumb, aloof,
