Plight into Hell
What else- Abscent Love

                                       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.
