and warriors and serving men
you had turned
to the purple couch and the flame
of the woman, tall like cypress tree
that flames sudden and swift and free
as with crackle of golden resin
and cones and the locks flung free
like the cypress limbs,
bound, caught and shaken and loosed,
bound, caught and riven and bound
and
loosened

as in rain of a kingly storm

Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,
That intent on mutual cruelty, we find,

And sunlight blurred below; but sultry blue
Burned yet on the valley water where it hoards
Behind the miller's elmen
floodgate
boards,
And there the wasps, that lodge them ill-concealed
In the vole's empty house, still drove afield
To plunder touchwood from old crippled trees
And build their young ones their hutched nurseries;
Still creaked the grasshoppers' rasping unison
Nor had the whisper through the tansies run
Nor weather-wisest bird gone home.
