A deeper gloom, that seemeth to emerge

From gloomy night—and bending forth, to urge

His eyeless steeds, fleet as the tempest’s blast:

And hear we not eternity’s dim surge

Thundering anear? At the dread sound aghast,

Time hurries headlong, pale with frantic terror, past.


THE BROTHER AND SISTER.
