In the mist of unhappiness, In the prime of deepest bareness, There as never before- the place, There—this place- did loveliness grace. In pools of light o' brightest night In this spot- this dot of delight- But as the light rose to the sky O' brightest night- delight goodbye. Pools of light shadowed by the pall The pall- this pall- shadowed all. Then shadows spilled into the deep, The depths into which the lone creep. Delight named Fright known as terror, Terror- this most grievous error, The diamond taken from the mine, Circle to enshrine the divine. This love- this find- that lost in time What had evaded through his climb- Brightest night opened up the grave, Eternally—to her—a slave, And he who fell to dwell in hell Hearing not the toll of the bell, This toll- this bell- o' brightest night, Shadowing this most sacred plight.
