In the nightmare of the dark
For I have known them all already, known them all:—
Forbad to wade through slaughter to a throne,
That I am a fool, since I
By a knight of ghosts and shadows
As apparitional as sails that cross
You were silly like us; your gift survived it all:
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Through suburb scrub because it held unspilt
Equality is in the air we breathe.
