    <br />
    The night is come, but not too soon;<br />
    And sinking silently,<br />
    All silently, the little moon<br />
    Drops down behind the sky.<br />
    <br />
    There is no light in earth or heaven<br />
    But the cold light of stars;<br />
    And the first watch of night is given<br />
    To the red planet Mars.<br />
    <br />
    Is it the tender star of love?<br />
    The star of love and dreams?<br />
    O no! from that blue tent above,<br />
    A hero's armor gleams.<br />
    <br />
    And earnest thoughts within me rise,<br />
    When I behold afar,<br />
    Suspended in the evening skies,<br />
    The shield of that red star.<br />
    <br />
    O star of strength! I see thee stand<br />
    And smile upon my pain;<br />
    Thou beckonest with thy mailed hand,<br />
    And I am strong again.<br />
    <br />
    Within my breast there is no light<br />
    But the cold light of stars;<br />
    I give the first watch of the night<br />
    To the red planet Mars.<br />
    <br />
    The star of the unconquered will,<br />
    He rises in my breast,<br />
    Serene, and resolute, and still,<br />
    And calm, and self-possessed.<br />
    <br />
    And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,<br />
    That readest this brief psalm,<br />
    As one by one thy hopes depart,<br />
    Be resolute and calm.<br />
    <br />
    O fear not in a world like this,<br />
    And thou shalt know ere long,<br />
    Know how sublime a thing it is<br />
    To suffer and be strong.<br />
    <br />

    <br />
    ALL CRIES ARE WAKING!<br />
    Whitest White of all White!<br />
    Blackest Blacks of all Blacks!<br />
    Shame and Son, Sun, and Shadow!<br />
    <br />
    Stronger than gods, brighter than mortals!<br />
    Only He is Awake!<br />
    Only He is Alive!<br />
    <br />
    He Knows the Names and the Naming!<br />
    He Knows the Wait and the Waiting!<br />
    He Enters into every Star and Moon!<br />
    He Shines through their Shadows!<br />
    <br />
    One Shape, One Spelling!<br />
    One Wraith, One Casting!<br />
    From Darkness, He is Armed!<br />
    From Light, He is Warded!<br />
    <br />
    He is All Things!<br />
    Drakel Lichel Theomen!<br />
    On rivers of fire He comes forth!<br />
    Through storms of dreams he rides!<br />
    With slivers of steel he pierces the Heart!<br />
    <br />
    All Spells, Powers, Curses Broken!<br />
    The Chains are Shattered!<br />
    The Scales Fall Away!<br />
    <br />
    I see you with MY EYE!<br />
    And all is SILENCE!<br />
    I Wake! I Remember!<br />
    LORD!
