Till, wearied and bleeding, at end of the light

I met him, and we wrestled, and great was my might.

O great was my joy, though no rest was around me,

Though mid wastes of the world were we twain all alone,

For methought that I conquered and he knelt and he crowned me,

And the driving rain ceased, and the wind ceased to moan,

And through clefts of the clouds her planet outshone.

O through clefts of the clouds 'gan the world to awaken,

And the bitter wind piped, and down drifted the rain,

And I was alone—and yet not forsaken,
