their sweethearts' praise,


Your empty bed. 'How should I love, I answered,


'Were it not that when the dawn has lit my bed


And shown my husband sleeping there, I have sighed,


"Your strength and nobleness will pass away."


Or how should love be worth its pains were it not


That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,


Being wearied out, I love in man the child?


What can they know of love that do not know


She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge


Above a windy precipice? Then he:


'Seeing that when you come to the deathbed


You must return, whether you would or no,


This human life blotted from memory,


Why must I live some thirty, forty years,


Alone with all this useless happiness?


Thereon he seized me in his arms, but I


Thrust him away with both my hands and cried,


'Never will I believe there is any change


Can blot out of my memory this life


Sweetened by death, but if I could believe


That were a double hunger in my lips


For what is doubly brief.


And now the shape,


My hands were pressed to, vanished suddenly.


I staggered, but a beech tree stayed my fall,


And clinging to it I could hear the cocks


Crow upon Tara."


King
