Mystic Void

Delighting in unintelligible
Images, precipitous, winding.

Ever espousing a body
Unluminous, formless and void.

Stoop not down, therefore,
Into the darkly-splendid world.
Where the mystic chasms
Are open before your eyes
And you can hear
Distant Sumerian flutes.

Where in continually
Lieth a faithless depth
And Hades wrapped
In clouds.

A black ever rolling abyss
Ever espousing a body
Unluminous, formless
And void !

Mystic Void

Stoop not down, therefore,
Into the darkly-splendid world.
Where the mystic chasms
Are open before your eyes
And you can hear
Distant Sumerian flutes.
