First Line: Sometimes when alone
Last Line: They lean as a friend
Alternate Author Name(s): A. E.
Subject(s): Love


SOMETIMES when alone
At the dark close of day,
Men meet an outlawed majesty
And hurry away.


They come to the lighted house;
They talk to their dear;
They crucify the mystery
With words of good cheer.


When love and life are over,
And flight's at an end,
On the outcast majesty
They lean as a friend.
