“Now drink me as the sun drinks up the mist.

This is the hour to cease in, at full flood,

That asks no gift form following years⁠—but, hist!

Look yonder! At the corner of that wood⁠—

Look! Look there where he comes! It shocks the blood,

The first sight, eh? Now, sentinel, stand clear

And save yourself. For God’s sake come not near.”
