TENEBRIS INTERLUCENTEM

James Elroy Flecker

A linnet who had lost her way Sang on a blackened bough in Hell, Till all the ghosts remembered well The trees, the wind, the golden day.

At last they knew that they had died When they heard music in that land, And someone there stole forth a hand To draw a brother to his side.
