There is never house, nor hut, nor
hall, nor a street, nor q city gate.
Where have not scribbled my meaning
scrawl in the symbol of love and
hate.
There is never king who sits his
throne. beggar who lures his
whine,
But into his soul somewhere has grown
this sinuous shape of mine.
There is never a maid of high degree. nor
man that Ia scourged with toll,
But into their dreams drifts the shape Of
me-the shape of the broken coil.
There is never a book of the bygone
time, there Is never a new-toid tale.
There is never surge of the singing
rhyme. but am the hidden grail.
Il have tinctured the praise that you say
you send to the being who rules
above;
I have hidden the pride of the wrathfui
bend. have stined the signs Of love.
IT have blinded the eyes that were keen
to see the evil that stalled abroad;
And the wonderful light that is flung from
me rs the light of the cherished gaud.
II am written today on the mountain side
in the greed that has grubbed for
gold;
I am blazoned today In the barrens wide
where the forests were glad Of old
You have stolen the grace of the water
fall and your thirsting machines still
gap,
And you pause not to think how that over
all you are tracing my soulless shape.
II have taken the light from the chill
dren's eyes, have yeIlowed their
rosy cheeks;
Their shout and their song and their
laughter dies when the master of
mammon speaks.
"Ho, there is not a path, nor a thought.
nor a word. nor a people, nor land,
nor thing,
But set 1t aieap as a charger spurred-
am greater than any king!
There is never a door. nor post. nor wall
nor a street, nor city gate,
