The hope of better days,--
The triumph-note that Miriam sung,
The joy of uncaged birds:
Softening

Parsifal
Parsifal has conquered the girls, their sweet
Chatter, amusing lust - and his inclination,
A virgin boy's, towards the Flesh, tempted
To love the little tits and gentle babble;
He's conquered lovely Woman, of subtle
Heart, showing her cool arms, provoking breast;
He's conquered Hell,
returned
to his tent,
With a weighty trophy on his boyish arm.

So, in the like name of that love of ours,
Take back these
thoughts
which here unfolded too,
And which on warm and cold days I withdrew
From my heart's ground.

There swelled a tumult at the gate, high voices waxing higher;
A flash of red
reflected
light lit the cathedral spire;
I heard a cry for faggots, then I heard a yell for fire.
