Fall, April; fall, April; bring new grief to birth.

Bring wild herb of grace, and bring deep healing dittany,

For Marian, our clear May, so long laid in earth.


[THE LOST BATTLE]

IT is not over yet—the fight

Where those immortal dreamers failed.

They stormed the citadels of night

And the night praised them—and prevailed.

So long ago the cause was lost
