Down the dark street of monoliths I passed.
The shambling, faceless figure of my Guide
A voiceless thing that beckoned at my side.
And to the dreaded Gate I came at last.
Before the silent Guardian I made
The black unhallowed Sacrifice, and spoke
Names at whose sound forgotten echoes woke.
The portals gaped. I entered unafraid.
Fate, or my stars, or some accursed pride
Had brought me here. Naked, I stood alone
And took the Vow before the Elder Throne—
He laughed, and drew His tattered mantle wide—
O do not seek to learn nor ever ask
What horror hides behind … The Pallid Mask!
