Classic and Contemporary Poetry

INITIATED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOU HAST PUT ON THE LIVERY
Last Line: THAT LAY ABOUT THEE HERE.
Thou hast put on the livery,
And learned the shibboleth,
And pledged for all eternity
The brotherhood of death.

Yet to thy wonder-wakened eyes
The light, however clear,
But solves the deeper mysteries
That lay about thee here.
