Oh gods! they cry, cry, they are not yet dead!

They will not die: they hurl upon my head

Curses and prayers! I hear them in my tent!

They are not dead! Oh gods! They are not dead!

I never gave consent!

Still the time slips

And Nydia comes not. I am very tired.

The things are broken to which I aspired,

And you alone are left. Love! She is here
