Reconciliation

Topics: classic

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     Well out, for the world lives as long ago;     And while were 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.
