The Night Mail and Other Poems

[julesapple]

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

[julesapple]

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,

[julesapple]

And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

[julesapple]

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

[julesapple]

Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Into a sea of dew.

[julesapple]

"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"

[julesapple]

The old moon asked the three.

[julesapple]

"We have come to fish for the herring fish

[julesapple]

That live in this beautiful sea;
