THE BLACK RIDERS: 7, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Mystic shadow, bending near me
Last Line: Then, tell me!


Mystic shadow, bending near me,
Who art thou?
Whence come ye?
And -- tell me -- is it fair
Or is the truth bitter as eaten fire?
Tell me!
Fear not that I should quaver.
For I dare -- I dare.
Then, tell me!
