The Land God Forgot

 The lonely sunsets flare forlorn
 Down valleys dreadly desolate;
The lordly mountains soar in scorn
 As still as death, as stern as fate.


The lonely sunsets flame and die;
 The giant valleys gulp the night;
The monster mountains scrape the sky,
 Where eager stars are diamond-bright.


So gaunt against the gibbous moon,
 Piercing the silence velvet-piled,
A lone wolf howls his ancient rune --
 The fell arch-spirit of the Wild.


O outcast land! O leper land!
 Let the lone wolf-cry all express
The hate insensate of thy hand,
 Thy heart's abysmal loneliness.
