The End

After the blast of lightning from the east, The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot throne, After the drums of time have rolled and ceased And from the bronze west long retreat is blown,

Shall Life renew these bodies？ Of a truth All death will he annul¹, all tears assuage²？ Or fill these void veins³ full again with youth And wash with an immortal⁴ water age？

When I do ask white Age, he saith not so, —— "My head hangs weighed with snow." And when I hearken to the Earth she saith My fiery⁵ heart sinks aching. It is death. Mine ancient scars shall not be glorified⁶ Nor my titanic⁷ tears the seas be dried."
