I made—and will unmake. Amen.
And not for any man of men
       Do I now grieve.
I mourn a thought that I begin
       To disbelieve.

For, oh! how beautiful and bright
My thought was!—that has taken flight,
And now is almost out of sight,
       Dim in the distance—
Soon to be swallowed in the night
       Of non-existence.
