And the lights are
closing down.
Orion runs for
cover ;
The bear resigns
his crown.
We have seen our
bodies tremble
In the water of
the lake,
Seen our figures
disassemble
And the water
shake, and shake.
But now the hour
elapses,
And our
understanding falls out
In silence. The
lamp collapses
And draws the
curtain down,
And its light goes
strangely about.
Shadows move where
they are thrown.
