I find no hint throughout the Universe Of good or ill, of blessing or of curse; I find alone Necessity Supreme; 75 With infinite Mystery, abysmal, dark, Unlighted ever by the faintest spark For us the flitting shadows of a dream.
O Brothers of sad lives! they are so brief; A few short years must bring us all relief: 80 Can we not bear these years of laboring breath? But if you would not this poor life fulfil, Lo, you are free to end it when you will, Without the fear of waking after dea...th. -- The organ-like vibrations of his voice 85 Thrilled through the vaulted aisles and died away; The yearning of the tones which bade rejoice Was sad and tender as a requiem lay: Our shadowy congregation rested still As brooding on that "End it when you will. " 90 XV Wherever men are gathered, all the air Is charged with human feeling, human thought; Each shout and cry and laugh, each curse and prayer, Are into its vibrations surely wrought; Unspoken passion, wordless meditation, 5 Are breathed into it with our respiration It is with our life fraught and overfraught.
