The Prince of chivalry, the Lord of war,

Led him against thy city, and he fell,
As falls some forest-lion

O perfect life in perfect labor writ,
O all men's Comrade, Servant, King, or Priest, --
What `if' or `yet', what mole, what flaw, what lapse,
What least defect or shadow of defect,
What rumor, tattled by an enemy,
Of inference loose, what lack of grace
Even in torture's grasp, or sleep's, or death's, --

Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,

And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight

As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
