Hour Dividing Light from Darkness



If yet thy fire have not one spark the less,
O Titan, born of her a Titaness,
Across the sunrise and the sunset's mark
Send of thy lyre one sound, thy fire one spark,
To change this face of our unworthiness,
Across this hour dividing light from dark.

-Algernon Charles Swinburne,
In the Bay, 1878
