The gloom of solitude was in their depths, The gloom of solitude was in our hearts ; And what strange spectacle for them to see ! The coffined form of one who had in life Held genial fellowship with all their kind, To pauseless pass in quiet of the night, And he to them forever blind and mute ; He that but scarce three days before had joyed To see their needles dancing in the sun, And had, in ecstasy of pure delight, His very heart's blood mingled with their own. Still on and on the living and ...the dead, As brighter and still brighter shone the stars, Passed through the darkness of the trees which seemed As still as he that lay forever dumb. The winds were sleeping in their distant caves With folded wing ; nor bird nor insect chirped, Nor whispered any leaf. It was as though The mountain and her brood in reverent hush Were bowed before the loved, illustrious dead. Then swam the moon with more than splendor bright Up from the far horizon's edge, and shot The forest's gloom with radiant, silvery threads ; And in that gloom all fairy forms were built, And quick as built dissolved, and then rebuilt, Of palaces and domes and dim arcades, While thickening shadows threw fantastic shapes Across the road where toiled the mournful wain.
