Up to the tight line of her lips.

Here strong the city’s pomp is poured ...

She stands, unhuman, bleak, aghast:

An empty temple of the Lord

From which the jocund Lord has passed.

He has builded him another house,

Whenceforth his flame, renewed and bright,

Shines stark upon these weathered brows

Abandoned to the final night.

THE THREE SISTERS
