"On to the curtained shrine --- ay, pass within
Into that trembling temple of the world;
And there stoop 'mid the storm. 'T will visit you
In robes of darkness that will seem like night
Fallen on mid-day. 'T will come on you in song
Gigantic, but melodious --- chorussed still,
Like a mad ocean heaved on iron shores
By tempests that stir earth's foundation. --- Go stand
Up amid the roar --- 'T will visit you if yet
A ray gleam through the twilight of your soul."
