Last Lines of John Hay
And a mad king's curse is not forever!And kindle your heart to flame.And my heart is her beauty's dwelling-place.And see so very little of you.And truth I find alone in dreams.As I clambered down from Pitz Languard.As sunlight on the dead.But the Queen was not there to see.Come sailing home to me.Have not yet perished from earth.I love thee more than life?In mystery far away.King over men who have learned all that it costs to be free.Of Love and Song and Wine.One republic in Italy free!Rapt in a dream of God.She comes to me.The Hill beside the River.The moon rules calmly o'er the conquered seas.The peace of God that filled her eyes.The white rose meant surrender.Though all the trees are bare.Till wake the sleeping summers in thy smile.To bear me forth to unknown lands.To life, love, lying at thy feet!Unconscious she waits for me.Was bitterer than a thousand years of fire!When the boys come home.With deathless fire below.With the virgin dew upon them.
