Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Evil; War
Ah, little wot he of the war and strife
With which that fertile Province was distraught!
Ah, little wot he that his troubled life
With greater evil would eftsoons be fraught!
The Angel of dark Fate with gleaming knife
The skein of his wild destiny had caught,
Its warp and weft in other lives to weave—
Thrice vain from those fell hands to expect reprieve!
