Wert thou here now-
I would rejoice.
But, pried apart-
by twice wrong choice.
Betwixt us placed-
the love of men.
Which once begot-
and then began-
With Love to treasure-
Life so rare.
Thus, chaining death-
by greater care.
Still, Death;
our common, nimble foe
In ancient days-
spun tales of woe.
For just as Sparta,
so today.
Do infants pine-
for breast in vain.
Death: fix'ed, bound and chained-
by Love.
Eyes mothers wounding-
Heaven's Dove.
he doth applaud-
thy bloody grave.
Which was prepared-
by gentle knave.
--
My time was soon-
you came too late.
To danger(s)-
queen hath raised the gate.
No field, nor trees-
surround thy tomb.
The High found life-
thou, death, in womb.
And men-
in pomp and circumstance
Do wield thy cry-
as song: for dance.
My sibling dear:
I miss thee so.
A tender life-
Not yours to know.
Now, in my rubble,
towards the Light.
I mourn your eyes-
saw naught but night.
This life was short-
yours, shorter still.
Your voice oer'pow'rd-
by Hateful will.
And I, recalling,
drop two tears:
One for thy life,
one for thy years.
--
Were death our end-
no justice be-
Imparted to my cause-
for thee.
But Justice-
hath not set it so.
For Justice-
wrought that Love can grow.
--
Away from Grace-
and honest fight.
Man's soul: opposed
in fear takes flight.
From Peace they flee,
to Death they turn.
Where weepest they
that weakness spurned.
But happy I-
to meet thee now!
Great distance from-
where hearts do growl.
And, growling there,
whose choice untied.
Thou live with me;
they truly died.
