PREVISION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: While all the dancing days that pass
Last Line: So fare the sons of love?
Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood; Love


WHILE all the dancing days that pass
Take oath we cannot die,
Alas! Alas! green grows the grass
Whereunder you must lie.

A golden Knight, sans fear or peer,
Lord Love great challenge saith:—
The hooded year is moving near
That strikes my heart with death.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!
O bitterness thereof!
The sons of Lust, they moulder. Must
So fare the sons of Love?
