Borrowed. and begged and sold:
Thumb marked of saints and sages
Tn the scholarly days Of old.

Rest i'll 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 it's strife is DER
There are ghostIy footsteps falling
Faint on the library floor.
Singers, and saints. and sages-
In the fame of the name we rust,
But this time will cover our pages,
AS even our tombs with dust.
For here in the librarys shadows,
Where the famed and famelese b..
roam in forgotten meadows,
With the centuries over me.
