On A Darkling Plain




Ah, love, let us be true




To one another! for the world, which seems




To lie before us like a land of dreams,




So various, so beautiful, so new,




Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,




Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;




And we are here as on a darkling plain




Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,




Where ignorant armies clash by night.
