The Palace
When I was a King and a Mason -- a Master proven and skilled --
I cleared me ground for a Palace such as a King should build.

I decreed and dug down to my levels.
Presently, under the silt,
I came on the wreck of a Palace such as a King had built.


There was no worth in the fashion -- there was no wit in the plan --
Hither and thither, aimless, the ruined footings ran --
Masonry, brute, mishandled, but carven on every stone:
"After me cometh a Builder.
Tell him, I too have known.
"

Swift to my use in my trenches, where my well-planned ground-works grew,
I tumbled his quoins and his ashlars, and cut and reset them anew.

Lime I milled of his marbles; burned it, slacked it, and spread;
Taking and leaving at pleasure the gifts of the humble dead.


Yet I despised not nor gloried; yet, as we wrenched them apart,
I read in the razed foundations the heart of that builder's heart.

As he had risen and pleaded, so did I understand
The form of the dream he had followed in the face of the thing he had planned.


* * * * *

When I was a King and a Mason -- in the open noon of my pride,
They sent me a Word from the Darkness.
They whispered and called me aside.

They said -- "The end is forbidden.
" They said -- "Thy use is fulfilled.

"Thy Palace shall stand as that other's -- the spoil of a King who shall build.
"

I called my men from my trenches, my quarries, my wharves, and my sheers.

All I had wrought I abandoned to the faith of the faithless years.

Only I cut on the timber -- only I carved on the stone:
"AfterT me cometh a BuilderT.
Tell him, I too have known!"
