They are gray with the gray of ages,
Borrowed, and begged, and sold;
Thumb-marked of saints and sages
In the scholarly days OF old.
Rose leaves prest for a lover
Rest in their pages dim,
Though silent centuries cover
All that is left of him.
And feel, in the library's shadows.
With this ghostly company,
The breath of forgotten meadows
And the centuries over me!
And when twilight bells are calling
When the day with its strifes is Ger
There are ghostly footsteps falling
Faint on the library floor.
Singers, and saints, and sages-
In the fame of name We trust,
But time will cover our pages,
AS even our tombs. with dust.
For here, in the library's shadows,
Where the famed and fameless be,
/ roam in forgotten meadows,
With the centuries over me!
