And in that thankless shape
Vines grow without a grape,
Thorns roseless spring.
Nay ! There is no escape :—
The yawning portals gape,
The orbéd ring
As by a whirlpool drawn
Into that devil-dawn :—
I sink and shriek and fawn
Upon the thing.
The Editor regrets that he is unable to publish
this verse.
