Let us go hence — the night is now at hand;The day is overworn, the birds all flown;And we have reaped the crops the gods have sown,Despair and death; deep darkness o'er the land,Broods like an owl; we cannot understandLaughter or tears, for we have only knownSurpassing vanity: vain things aloneHave driven our perverse and aimless band.Let us go hence, somewhither strange and cold,To Hollow Lands where just men and unjustFind end of labour, where's rest for the old,Freedom to all from love and fear and lust.Twine our torn hands! O pray the earth enfoldOur life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.
