Slów
Creatures
Slów,
Creatures
Slów,
Nuzzle and press,
And take their food
In the darkness.
And take their food
In the darkness.
No stir is now
In all that once
Was all ;
In all that once
Was all ;
No dréam, no sight,
No soúnd, no sense
If thére.
No soúnd, no sense
If thére.

Of the sun :
Unknówn
The ring
Of the light :
The ring
Of the light :
Unknówn
In the cave
Unséen
In the cave

By the slów,
Slów
Hungers

Left
—But foód ;
All else
That was
Is awáy :
That was
Is awáy :
Far-awáy,
In the gléam,
In the ring
In the béam
In the ring
In the béam
In the Sun.
