All that was ours, and, God, how beautiful!

All, all that was once ours,

Lies faceless, mouthless, mire to mire,

So lost to all sweet semblance of desire

That we, in those fields seeking desperately

One face long-lost to love, one face that lies

Only upon the breast of Memory,

Would never find it—even the very blood

Is stamped into the horror of the mud—

Something that mad men trample under-foot
