With banners furled and clarions mute,
An army passes in the night;
And beaming spears and helms salute
The dark with bright.In silence deep the legions stream,
With open ranks, in order true;
Over boundless plains they stream and
gleam--
No chief in view!Afar, in twinkling distance lost,
(So legends tell) he lonely wends
And back through all that shining host
His mandate sends.
