At the Gates Of Niob..
There are two gates that guard

There are two gates that guard thu
Night:
The one whore shadows creep
And luliabies come grooming low,
Full-throated. soft and deep;
Where twilight reaches forth her arm,
To all by Day oppressed.
And lulls them into happiness,
Serene upon her breast
And from that gate. all dark and cool.
The night road stretches far,
By palaces OF sweet content.
Where many dreamings are:
Where blind may see and dumb may
speak,
And sad ones laugh and sing,
Where hungered ones may drink and
eat.
The pauper be a king.
All through the Night the good road
goes.
Der valley. plain and steep;
Along its sides. in grandeur, rise
The citadels OF sleep.
And many things there be that soothc
And comfort us, and bless
But best of all. the blossom fair
OF rich forgetfulness.
The other gate that guards the Night.
The one that ends the way
Has trumpeters that loudly call
Us forth into the day.
And though We fear the foes Of Day
With bitterness and dread
We know that through the weary hours
The first gate IS ahead.
