thither then,
Thither then, content the Sun may seem
In dry old winds thus blown about.
Whisper doth These ever-aging dreams
That mortal Ear could better do without.
For matter ‘tis and ever was
Collective dust withal.
Know thy eternity
Roots in stars that shall:
Light each ev’ry path away
From thine own little life;
(And of that growing apathy)
Speak softer of its strife.

Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff
