now are the gods departed from the land and we who waver in the wake of winds from their emblazoned cars are garmented with sifting dust and blind of eye and we who walked the tender fields and stopped beneath the fragile shade of jewelled trees sun-gilded trees whose stirring leaves made coloured music veil the silver-sounding step of those kindly kings of earth the slow-phrased crystal step of other kings and gracious queens of veined-opal face and glowing brow who walked with us on either hand and showed us radiant signs and spoke the secret word now are the gods departed and we wander in the wind blinded by dust and sifting night | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING OF THE MIND by DONALD JUSTICE CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME by JANE KENYON THE PROBLEM by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN THIS UNMENTIONABLE FEELING by DAVID LEHMAN AN ARRANGEMENT FOR AN INQUIRING OBOE OF PHILOSPHIC BENT by RAYMOND ELLSWORTH F.
