On a Height

Here, where the sun is fire, and the silence
A wind that bears our trivial words
Away into nothingness,
We scan a sail-less sea.
Not even drams come in
From that white radiance in the west,
But one thought, born of weariness,
Seems blazoned on the sky:
That rest from light is darkness
And rest from life is death.
