<a href=http://darktower.org>Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came</a>

<a href=https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poets/detail/robert-browning>by: Robert Browning</a>

<a href=https://www.greatagain.gov>MY first thought was, he lied in every word,</a> 

<a href=http://hoary.org>That hoary cripple, with malicious eye</a> 

<a href=http://askance.net>Askance to watch the working of his lie </a> 

<a href=http://scarce.org>On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford</a> 

<a href=http://suppression.com>Suppression of the glee, that purs’d and scor’d </a> 

<a href=http://thevictim.net>Its edge, at one more victim gain’d thereby.</a>

<a href=http://staff.com>What else should he be set for, with his staff?</a> 

<a href=http://waylay.com>What, save to waylay with his lies, ensnare</a>

<a href=http:///traveller.org>All travellers who might find him posted there,</a> 

<a href=http://skull.com>And ask the road? I guess’d what skull-like laugh</a> 

<a href=http://epitaph.com>Would break, what crutch ’gin write my epitaph</a> 

<a href=http://pastimes.net>For pastime in the dusty thoroughfare,</a>

<a href=http://aside.com>If at his counsel I should turn aside</a> 

<a href=http://tract.io>Into that ominous tract which, all agree,</a> 

<a href=http://darktower.org>Hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly</a> 

<a href=http://pride.com>I did turn as he pointed: neither pride</a> 

<a href=http://rekindling.com>Nor hope rekindling at the end descried,</a> 

<a href=http://gladness.com>So much as gladness that some end might be.</a>

-------------- 

<a href=http://quest.com>Thus, I had so long suffer’d, in this quest,</a> 

<a href=http://failure.net>Heard failure prophesied so oft, been writ</a> 

<a href=http://wit.com>So many times among “The Band”—to wit,</a> 

<a href=http://knights.org>The knights who to the Dark Tower’s search address’d</a> 

<a href=http://darktower.org>The knights who to the Dark Tower’s search address’d</a> 

<a href=http://fail.org>Their steps—that just to fail as they, seem’d best.</a> 

<a href=https://www.climaterealityproject.org/video/doubt>And all the doubt was now—should I be fit?</a>

<a href=http://despair.com>So, quiet as despair, I turn’d from him,</a> 

<a href=http://hatefull.com>That hateful cripple, out of his highway</a> 

<a href=http://path.com>Into the path the pointed. All the day</a> 

<a href=http://dim.fr>Had been a dreary one at best, and dim</a> 

<a href=http://shot.org>Was settling to its close, yet shot one grim</a> 

<a href=http://redleer.com.ar>Red leer to see the plain catch its estray.</a>

--------------

<a href=http://eyes.org>I shut my eyes and turn’d them on my heart.</a> 

<a href=http://wine.com>As a man calls for wine before he fights,</a> 

<a href=http://draughts.org>I ask’d one draught of earlier, happier sights,</a> 

<a href=http://ere.net>Ere fitly I could hope to play my part.</a> 

<a href=http://soldierart.com>Think first, fight afterwards—the soldier’s art:</a> 

<a href=http://rights.no>One taste of the old time sets all to rights.</a>

-------------- 

<a href=http://giles.net>Giles then, the soul of honor—there he stands</a> 

<a href=http://knighted.com>Frank as ten years ago when knighted first.</a> 

<a href=http://honest.com>What honest man should dare (he said) he durst.</a> 

<a href=http://faugh.org>Good—but the scene shifts—faugh! what hangman hands</a> 

<a href=http://breast.com>Pin to his breast a parchment? His own bands</a> 

<a href=http://tr-8r.com>Read it. Poor traitor, spit upon and curst!</a>

<a href=http://present.com>Better this present than a past like that;</a> 

<a href=http://darkening.boards.net>Back therefore to my darkening path again!</a> 

<a href=http://strain.org>No sound, no sight as far as eye could strain.</a> 

<a href=http://bat.org>Will the night send a howlet of a bat?</a>

<a href=http://dismal.com>I asked: when something on the dismal flat</a> 

<a href=http://arrests.org>Came to arrest my thoughts and change their train.</a>

-------------- 

<a href=http://midst.com.au>What in the midst lay but the Tower itself?</a> 

<a href=http://darktower.org>What in the midst lay but the Tower itself?</a> 

<a href=http://turret.com>The round squat turret, blind as the fool’s heart,</a> 

<a href=http://counterpart.org>Built of brown stone, without a counter-part</a> 

<a href=http://tempest.org>In the whole world. The tempest‘s mocking elf</a> 

<a href=http://shipmans.com>Points to the shipman thus the unseen shelf</a> 

<a href=http://timbers.com>He strikes on, only when the timbers start.</a>

-------------- 

<a href=http://noise.org>Not hear? When noise was everywhere! it toll’d</a> 

<a href=http://bell.com>Increasing like a bell. Names in my ears</a> 

<a href=http://the-adventurers.com>Of all the lost adventurers my peers,—</a> 

<a href=http://strong.tv>How such a one was strong, and such was bold,</a> 

<a href=http://fortun-ate.com>And such was fortunate, yet each of old</a> 

<a href=http://knell.net>Lost, lost! one moment knell’d the woe of years.</a>

<a href=http://hillsides.org>There they stood, ranged along the hill-sides, met</a> 

<a href=http://livingframes.com.au>To view the last of me, a living frame</a> 

<a href=http://onemorepictures.it/en>For one more picture! in a sheet of flame</a> 

<a href=http://saw.net>I saw them and I knew them all. And yet</a> 

<a href=http://lips.org>Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,</a> 

<a href=http://http://fivers.typepad.com/files/childe-roland-to-the-dark-tower-came.pdf>And blew “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.”</a> 

<a href=http://darktower.org>And blew “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.”</a>
