This youth too long has heard the break

Of waters in a land of change.

He goes to see what suns can make

From soil more indurate and strange.

He cuts what holds his days together

And shuts him in, as lock on lock:

The arrowed vane announcing weather,

The tripping racket of a clock;

Seeking, I think, a light that waits

Still as a lamp upon a shelf,—

A land with hills like rocky gates

Where no sea leaps upon itself.

But he will find that nothing dares

To be enduring, save where, south

Of hidden deserts, torn fire glares

On beauty with a rusted mouth,—

Where something dreadful and another

Look quietly upon each other.
