THE UNKNOWN GOD by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL

First Line: FAR UP THE DIM TWILIGHT FLUTTERED
Last Line: OUR EYES COULD NEVER SEE.

Far up the dim twilight fluttered
Moth-wings of vapour and flame:
The lights danced over the mountains,
Star after star they came.

The lights grew thicker unheeded,
For silent and still were we;
Our hearts were drunk with a beauty
Our eyes could never see.
