solemn
how dimly did the moon
rest beset upon the stars?
so vainly, i presume,
had it tried to hide her scars.
when all the world was quiet,
lulled peacefully to sleep,
the suns of night divided
the dark and endless deep.
solemn reliquaries,
idle towers,
remnants of a world gone by,
speak neither of the future
nor the past that they defy.
