THE MOUNTAIN TOMB

Pour wine and dance, if manhood still have pride, Bring roses, if the rose be yet in bloom; The cataract smokes on the mountain side. Our Father Rosicross is in his tomb.

Pull down the blinds, bring fiddle and clarionet, Let there be no foot silent in the room, Nor mouth with kissing nor the wine unwet. Our Father Rosicross is in his tomb.

In vain, in vain; the cataract still cries, The everlasting taper lights the gloom, All wisdom shut into its onyx eyes. Our Father Rosicross sleeps in his tomb.

William Butler Yeats
