But ye cried, laughing, down the wind Men are but shadows, but a vain breath I So here cometh untome That cry from the rejoicing air Men are but shadows And prone aboutme I see them, hushed and sleeping in the hut, Made solemn and holy by the night, In the dead light o the moon Shadowy, swathed in their blankets, As sleep, in hewn sepulchral caves, Egypts and Asias kings. While between them are the footsteps Of glittering presences, who say Lo, one To be a sword upon my thigh And the sleepers stir restlessly and murmur As between them pass The bright-mailed choosers of the dead. Shall I see ye again, O flying feet O the forest-haunters, while I couch silent, In a wet brake o blossom, Dark ivy wreathing your whiteness Ere I am torn from the scabbard Lo, one To be a sword uponmy thigh Knowing no longer that earth Lieth in the dews, shining and sacred suffereth all things. And we, Out of the travail and pain of our striving, Bring unto thee the perfect prayer For the heart of no man uttereth love, Suffering even for loves sake. For us no splendid apparel of pageantry, Burnished breast-plates, scarlet banners and trumpets Sounding exultantly. But the mean things of the earth hast thou chosen, Decked them with suffering, Made them beautiful with the passion for Tightness, Strong with the pride of love. Yea, tho our praise of thee slayeth us, Yet love shall exalt usbesidethee triumphant,
