When all the heaven showers its hoarded gloom,

Melts in and out the vision as I dream,

And the wild strangeness of the pale farewell—

And scattered sobs unclosing all the heart—

Blend darkly with the varying of my thought;

Till the starred midnight and the homeless wind

Thrill in upon the sense with light and sound,

Bringing me back from visions unto tears.
