Rest in their pages dim
Though silent centuries cover
All that IS left of HIM
And I feel. I'm the library's shadows,
with this gh0sily company
The breath OF forgotten meadows
And the centuries over me.
And when twilight bells are calling
When the day with rs strlfes is DER
There are ghostly footsteps falling
Faint on the library floor.
