Ah God, that this thing were not in the world —

The hateful House that flames with light and song

And weary singing all the ages long;

Ah that ev’n this might in the dust be hurl’d,

And crush’d and slain, even as my heart, where curl’d

The kindly armies of the worm do throng.

Yea, surely I have seen it long ago,

Far sunken in the weary dust of time;

Yea surely even that stair so hard to climb

I climb’d, and strode its hallways to and fro;

The which were bright with many lamps aglow,

And loud with choristers in ceaseless chime.
