What of the night

When the tune falters and the blood chills?

When thou art one with the grass

And the underbrush of the world,

Wilt thou forget the names of flowers,

The rhythm of song and the lips, still balmy with the breasts of women?

When thou and the fog on the hilltop are as brother and sister,

Wilt thou forget utterly the ways of men,

The clash of swords and the sting of wine,

The dim horizons and the grace of girls?
