Living
The Sleep of Sigismund: XXXVI
From Poems by Jean Ingelow, In Two Volumes, Volume II.
Living
But who shall chronicle the ways
Of common folk--the nights and days
Spent with rough goatherds on their snows,
Of travellers come whence no man knows,
Then gone aloft on some sharp height
In the dumb peace and the great light
Amid brown eagles and wild roes?
