text_original: Gaunt he grew, A silent watcher by the carven gate, And saw his kind go in and forth again, But never one whose coming, with a thrill, Sang to his heart: "Lol I am even she I" Hooded, unknown, so sat he 'mid the crows — Sear as the summer, grey as any rain — And watched the flowers' birth and death, and heard The sparrows' song of mating, or the din Where the shrill apes held council in the grove.
