Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ... hang, to hover there, to grow, Grow grander than vast peaks of snow. She sat the battlements of time; She shone in mail of frost and rime A time, and then rose up and stood In heaven in sad widowhood. The faded moon fell wearily, And then the sun right suddenly Rose up full arm'd, and rushing camo Across the land like flood of flame. And now it seemed that hills uprose, High push'd against the arching skies, As if to meet the sudden sun--Eose sharp from out the sultry dun, And seem'd to hold the free repose Of lands where flow'ry summits rise, In unfenced fields of Paradise. The black men look'd up from the sands Against the dim, uncertain skies, As men that disbelieved their eyes, And would have laugh'd; they wept in-stead, With shoulders heaved, with bowing head Hid down between the two black hands.

Again they move, but where or how It recks them little, nothing now. Yet Morgan leads them as before, But totters now; he bends, and he Is like a broken ship a-sea, --A ship that knows not any shore, Nor rudder, nor shall anchor more. Some leaning shadows crooning crept Through desolation, crown'd in dust. And had the mad pursuer kept His path, and cherish'd his pursuit? Ther...
