Wherein we fought long since, I said:

“We are friends now.”

And she sate by,

Scarce heeding. Thus the evening sped.

And we ride homeward now, and I

Ride moodily; my palfrey jogs

Along a rock-strewn way the moon

Lights up for us; yonder the bogs

Are curdled with thin ice; the trees

Are naked; from the barren wold
