VI. Poems in New Metres

O pall of black Night

O pall of black Night painted with still gold stars,

Hang now thy folds, close, clinging against earth’s bars,

O dim Night!

Then slumber shall come swinging1 the unseen

Gates, and to lands guarded by a screen

Of strange light

Set free2 my soul charioted in3 a swift dream,

From earth slipping4 into the unknown gleam,

The Ray white.
