IX.
O Saint of the Altar, say How may this light redeem ? For tho' on my brow^ like a jew^el Its Star hath left a gleam, O Saint, 'tis a light too cold and cruel To be the light of my dream !" [129] X.
Anon 'twas a crimson Star That over the Altar shone, And there sank as a rose of flame To my heart ere the Star was gone ; And out from the flames thereof A subtle fragrance then Went stealing down the mountain-side O'er the lowly ways of men.
XI.
The Star was gone, but it brought To light in its... crimson glow The lovely things forgotten I dream' d of long ago ; And gladly then I had given My life to all below ; Yet I rose not up from that altar-stone, I would not leave it so.
XII.
And at last was a golden Star ; But I scarce know how nor where ; For it melted all around me, And the other Stars were there ; And all in one blissful moment The light of Day had come ; — Then I reel'd away from that altar-stone, Old, and blind, and dumb.
[130] XIII.
I dwell again in the city, I seek no more for light ; But I go on a mission of silence To those who would leave the Night And for this — and this thing only, Thro' the evil streets I stray ; I who am free to the timeless Sky Illumin'd forever with Day.
