NORTH NORTH WESTTO ELEANOR
No footsteps there are where the sun shines alone,Where no death of a man has been known:A land without life, without death,Where the wail of the wind wandereth,Where mystery hides in the caverns,Deep down where the sun never looks—Alone with the sun and the wind—Alone with the moon and the stars—In the land where no footsteps are;Where star communeth with star,Where mountains and clouds are abreastIn the land north north of the West—Is a dream in a dream that's forgotOf something that was and is not.
In the land where no footsteps are,In the drift of the world afarThe wraiths rendezvous and mourn;On the north wind their keening is borne,—For this dream in a dream that's forgot
