“Thou sow’st no gold, and shall not reap!”

Muttered earth, turning in her sleep;

“Come home to the Eternal Deep!”

Murmured a voice, and a wide sweep

Of wings through thy soul’s hush did creep,

As of thy doom o’erflying;

It seem’d that thy strong heart would leap

Out of thy breast, and thou didst weep,

But not with fear of dying;

Men could not fathom thy deep fears,
