Those silent halls

Dim on the shore of the unsailed deep?

And your footfalls, yours also, Wanderer,

Faint through those twilight corridors have rung?

Of late my eyes have seen ... Wanderer ...

Amid the shadows’ gloom

Of that sleep-girdled place

I should have known such joy could not have been—

To see your face: and yet, Wanderer,

What hopes seem vain beneath the night in bloom?
