To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . Lay thy cold brow on hand, And dream with me.
Awaits me torture ; I have smelt their rack ; From spectral groaning wheel Have turned me back ; Thumbscrew and boot, and then — The yawning sack.
Lean closer, then !
Lay palm on stony wall. Let but thy ghost beneath Thine eyelids call : ' Courage, my brother ! ' Nought Can then appal.
THE MONOLOGUE 37 Yet coward, coward am I, And drink I must When clanks the pannikin With the longed-for crust ; Though heart within is sour With disgust.
Long hou...rs there are, When mutely tapping — well, Is it to Vacancy I these tidings tell ? Knock these numb fingers against An empty cell ?
Nay, answer not.
Let still mere longing make Thy presence sure to me, While in doubt I shake : Be but my Faith in thee, For sanity's sake.
AWAKE !
W HY hath the rose faded and fallen, yet these eyes have not seen ? Why hath the bird sung shrill in the tree — and this mind deaf and cold ? Why have the rains of summer veiled her flowers with their sheen And this black heart untold ?
