Heavy with storms as a mother with child,
Seeking release from their burden of snow
With calm slow motion they cross the wild—­
Stately and sombre, they catch and cling
To the barren crags of the peaks in the west,
Weary with waiting, and mad for rest.

Grow gray and grayer, hiding the warm sun.

Is paved with smiling faces.

Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonorable graves.
