The Country Is Not Priest-ridded,

Through Woods And Mountain Passes The Winds, Like Anthems, Roll.

My Designs And Labors And Aspirations Are My Only Friends.

But The Nearer The Dawn The Darker The Night, And By Going Wrong All Things Come Right. Things Have Been Mended That Were Worse, And The The Worse, The Nearer They Are To Mend.

The Heaven Of Poetry And Romance Still Lies Around Us And Within Us.

The Moon Is Hidden Behind A Cloud... On The Leaves Is A Sound Of Falling Rain... No Other Sounds Than These I Hear; The Hour Of Midnight Must Be Near... So Many Ghosts, And Forms Of Fright, Have Started From Their Graves To-night, They Have Driven Sleep From Mine Eyes Away: I Will Go Down To The Chapel And Pray.
