Part Four: Time and Eternity
LXXXI

| AFTER a hundred years | |
| Nobody knows the place, | |
| Agony, that enacted there, | |
| Motionless as peace. | |
| |
| Weeds triumphant ranged, | 5 |
| Strangers strolled and spelled | |
| At the lone orthography | |
| Of the elder dead. | |
| |
| Winds of summer fields | |
| Recollect the way, | 10 |
| Instinct picking up the key | |
| Dropped by memory. | |
