Religion
I see that all things come to an end
From Verses (1893)
Religion
No more! while sun and planets fly,
And wind and storm and seasons four,
And while we live and while we die,—
No more.
Nevertheless old ocean’s roar,
And wide earth’s multitudinous cry,
And echo’s pent reverberant store
Shall hush to silence by and bye:
Ah, rosy world gone cold and hoar!
Man opes no more a mortal eye,
No more.
