] Date Posted: 19:31:44 11/07/07 Wed Our hearths are gone out, and our hearts are broken, And bu the ghosts of homes to us remain, And ghostly eyes and hollow sighs given token From friend to friend of an unspoken pain. O, Raven Days, dark Raven Days of sorrow, Bring to us, in your whetted ivory beaks, Some sign out of the far land of To-morrow, Some strip of sea-green dawn, some orange streaks. Ye float in dusky files, forever croaking - Ye chill our manhood with your dreary shade. Pale, in the dark, not even God invoking, We lie in chains, too weak to be afraid. O Rven Days, dark Raven Days of sorrow, Will ever any warm light come again? Will ever the lit mountains of To-morrow Begin to gleam across the mournful plain?
