- RECONCILIATION
-
- SOME may have blamed you that you took away
- The verses that could move them on the day
- When, the ears being deafened, the sight of the eyes blind
- With lightning, you went from me, and I could find
- Nothing to make a song about but kings,
- Helmets, and swords, and half-forgotten things
- That were like memories of you -- but now
- We'll out, for the world lives as long ago;
- And while we're in our laughing, weeping fit,
- Hurl helmets, crowns, and swords into the pit.
- But, dear, cling close to me; since you were gone,
- My barren thoughts have chilled me to the bone.
