Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Death; Love; Peace; Dead, The
Years passed. And where that lowly hermitage
Stood forest-screen'd, a Fane of Peace uprose
Where desolate souls their sorrows might assuage.
Its first loved Abbess her brief reign did close
In deeds that live and lighten every Age.—
In hands like hers God's charities repose.—
The knight long after wed his Guillardun.
And love grown perfect did their days attune.
