And dance their dance inviolable and bright;

Aloft on barren mountains I have seen

With him the slow recession of the night,

The morning dusk, the broad and swimming sun,

And all the tree-tops burn, and valleys run

With wine of daybreak; he and I had kept

Vigil with stars on bitter frosty nights:

The stars and frost so burned, we never slept,

But cursed the cold, and talked, and watched the lights

Down in the valleys, passing to and fro,
