Poems (Taylor)/Prevision
PREVISION
While all the dancing days that pass Take oath we cannot die,Alas! Alas! green grows the grass Whereunder you must lie.
A golden Knight, sans fear or peer, Lord Love great challenge saith:—The hooded year is moving near That strikes my heart with death.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust! O bitterness thereof!The sons of Lust, they moulder. Must So fare the sons of Love?
