He carried a soul to the dark gates of birth, Toward the traveling sorrowful earth- And flying, he sang, and the ... soul heard, The deathless, the unuttered ..., And the tears in the ... could but sadden and tire the sould filled with wondrous desire. And vainly the dull songs of earth sought to still, The song that caused heaven to thrill.
