What part is left unto us but to weep, For in our heaven of song a star goes out, And thou unto the inviolate silence, deep As Night or Death returnest, and about Thy head the shadows throng. Hushed is thy harp ; no more in wondrous song Its chords shall tremble, and the music roll Resistlessly upon the listening soul, For thou hast launched upon that darkling sea Where Time is not, but dread Eternity.
