Wings that rise from either shoulder

Like a flame and fan the air—

Love is sadder grown and older,

Plays no more with bow and arrows,

Scarce has heart to feed his sparrows.

Paint him like a penitent,

Wan with keeping year-long Lent,

Worn with watching, faint with prayer,

Dust, not roses, in his hair.

Give him, for his bow and quiver,
