Dark City

There is a harper plays
Through the long watches of the lonely night
When, like a cemetery,
Sleeps the dark city, with her millions laid each in his tomb.

I feel it in my dream; but when I wake,
Suddenly, like some secret thing not to be overheard,
It ceases—
And the gray night grows dumb.

Only in memory
Linger, those veiled adagios, fading, fading . . .
Till, with the morning, they are lost.

What door was opened then ?
What worlds undreamed of lie around us in our sleep,
That yet we may not know ?
Where is it one sat playing
Over and over, with such high and dreadful peace,
The passion and sorrow of the eternal doom?
