Hide all your snares, vain town
Gilded with cross and crown,
Lest your foul streams deter
The day's new worshipper.
Break in my heart, O chains,
Your self-inflicted pains,
And every shackle fall
From me for good and all.
Let the grey dawn propose
Conjunction with the rose,
And the blue noon fulfill
indolently its will.
Where the warm vales repeat
The ecstacy of heat,
And the slow forest heaves
in transport all it leaves,
i can uplift my eyes
To th' enduring paradise,
And cast white flames in the air
Of proud unsecret prayer.

- Out of a Dark Night
DEATH is more tranquil than the life of love,
More calm, more sure, and more unanguished.
the path among the trees is far more tranquil to the dead
Than to these anxious hearts, uptroubled from their beds,
Who pace in pallid darkness on the leaves,
For no good reason--for no reason
But because their limbs will not lie still upon the sheet.
Their limbs will not lie still. how I pity them.
Sad hearts--their marrow is a-quiver,
And they can not lie them down in tranquil sadness like the dead.
