All earth was but one thought--and that was death

The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
did wander darkling in the eternal space,
rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
morn came and went--and came, and brought no day,
and men forgot their passions in the dread
of this their desolation; and all hearts
were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light
Influences: and they did live by watchfires--and the thrones,
the palaces of crowned kings--the huts,
the habitations of all things which dwell,
were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed,
and men were gathered round their blazing homes
to look once more into each other's face;
happy were those who dwelt within the eye
of the volcanos, and their mountain-torch...
a fearful hope was all the world contain'd;
forests were set on fire--but hour by hour
they fell and faded--and the crackling trunks
extinguish'd with a crash--and all was black.
Sounds Like: the world was void,
the populous and the powerful--was a lump,
seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless--
a lump of death--a chaos of hard clay.
the rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still,
and nothing stirred within their silent depths;
ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea,
and their masts fell down piecemeal: as they dropp'd
they slept on the abyss without a surge--
the waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
the moon their mistress had expir'd before;
the winds were withered in the stagnant air,
and the clouds perish'd; Darkness had no need
of aid from them--She was the Universe.
