It was a quiet way —

It was a quiet way —
He asked if I was his —
I made no answer of the Tongue
But answer of the Eyes —
And then He bore me on
Before this mortal noise
With swiftness, as of Chariots
And distance, as of Wheels —
This World did drop away
As Acres from the feet
Of one that leaneth from Balloon
Opon an Ether street.
The Gulf behind was not,
The Continents were new —
Eternity it was before
Eternity was due —
No Seasons were to us —
It was not Night nor Morn —
But Sunrise stopped opon the place
And fastened it in Dawn —
