Like eyes that looked on Wastes-
Incredulous of Ought
But Blank-and steady Wilderness-
Diversified by Night-
Just Infinites of Nought-
As far as it could see-
So looked the face I looked upon-
So looked itself-on Me-
I offered it no Help-
Because the Cause was Mine-
The Misery a Compact
As hopeless-as divine-
Neither-would be absolved-
Neither would be a Queen
Without the Other-Therefore-
We perish-tho' We reign-
Like Eyes That Looked On Wastes
