QUEST.

Listen in the reader

I CHASE a shadow through the night, A shadow unavailing; Out of the dark, into the light, I follow, follow: is it she?

Against the wall of sea outlined, Outlined against the windows lit, The shadow flickers, and behind I follow, follow after it.

The shadow leads me through the night To the grey margin of the sea; Out of the dark, into the light, I follow unavailingly.
