IV
Hang up brave tapestries:
Huntsman and warrior there-
Shut out these mad, white walls.
I hate a room so bare.

And all these neighbor roofs
With chimney and chimney above-
Oh! Let me hear the sound
Of soft feet that I love.

Then fetch me candles tall,
Stand them in bright array,
And go- I need such lights
And shadows when I pray.
