First Line: Songs I sang of lordly matters
Last Line: But that little song of thine.
Subject(s): Love; Poetry & Poets
SONGS I sang of lordly matters,
Life and death, and stars and sea;
Nothing of them now remains
But the song I sang for thee.
Vain the learned elaborate metres,
Vain the deeply pondered line;
All the rest are dust and ashes
But that little song of thine.
