Robert Laurence Binyon - A Picture Seen In A Dream
Work rating: Low

I saw the Goddess of the Evening pause
 Between two mountain pillars. Tall as they
 Appeared her stature, and her outstretched hands
 Laid on those luminous cold summits, hung
 Touching, and lingered. Earth was at her feet.
 Her head inclined: then the slow weight of hair,
 In distant hue like a waved pine--forest
 Upon a mountain, down one shoulder fell.
 She gazed, and there were stars within her eyes;
 Not like those lights in heaven which know not what
 They shine upon; but like far human hopes,
 That rise beyond the end of thwarting day
 In deep hearts, wronged with waste and toil, they rose;
 And while beneath her from the darkening world
 A vapour and a murmur silently
 Floated, there came into those gazing eyes,
 What should have been, were she a mortal, tears.
