What luminous galaxies have been thy prey

O, all-consuming, restrainless Space?

What gyres of planets sunk in thy voidness absolute

O, indivisible infinity?



O, unrevealed Abyss,

whose deep sustains flaming, triumphant suns,

what further,distant worlds doth thee hide

in thy universe-ulterior vast?



O, direful chasm,

elder gods' necropolis,

what star-possessed realms

rest within thy depths?
