Dark the shrine-and dumb the fount of song thence welling,Save for words more sad than tears of blood, that said :Tell the king, on earth has fallen the glorious dwelling. And the watersprings that spake are quenched and dead.Not a cell is left the God, no roof no coverIn his hand the prophet laurel flowers no more. And the great king's high sad heart, thy true last lover,Felt thine answer pierce and cleave it to the core. And he bowed down his hopeless headIn the drift of the wild world's tide, And dying, Thou hast conquered he said,Galilean ; he said it, and died.Table of Contents CONTENTS; POEMS AND BALLADS; Second Series; PAGE; The Last Oracle...
