The Face of the Skies
By George Sterling
Who shall loose Orion's bands?
"I!" saith Eternity.
"I with annulling hands
Shall set the Titan free."
Who shall erect upon the sky
New forms of might?
Saith Eternity: "I!
I shall re-people night.
"As a breath on glass,—
As witch-fires that burn,
The gods and monsters pass,
Are dust, and return.
"Is the toil much to you
That is little to me?
Such dreams the gods knew,"
Saith Eternity.
