By Through the Night

Richard Dehmel (1863–1920)

BUT ever you, this sombre you,

Through all the night this hollow soaring

Of sound—and through the wires a roaring:

The homeward road my steps pursue.

And pace for pace this sombre you,

As if from pole to pole ’twere soaring;

Of thousand words I hear a roaring,

And dumb my homeward road pursue.
